| Dispatches C4 - Monday 9th Feb. |
| Guardian preview (2/2) - A documentary for Channel 4's Dispatches, to be broadcast next week provides chilling evidence of ageism. It details the weasel words being used by recruitment agencies and employers to reject older job applicants - "too experienced", "over-qualified" and even unlikely to fit in "culturally". Alternatively they simply ask for "dynamic" staff, and we all know what that means.
In one undercover sequence, the programme takes 56-year-old chartered accountant, Martin Lloyd-Penny, and his daughter aged 25, who is still to qualify as an accountant, and follows their job-hunting experiment. Martin has 30 years' experience; she is by contrast a complete beginner. Yet, week after week, he finds it impossible even to get replies to his applications while she is eagerly pursued for positions, and even cold-called by eager employers. His humiliation and bemusement are awful to watch.
