PHOENIX, Jan. 23, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- While some young people are prone to including their age, the date of their college graduation, or even a photograph of themselves on their resumes and CV's, most job seekers of greater maturity know that this is unwise. Though discrimination based on age is illegal, that does not mean it is non-existent among many top employers, a point made by a recent CareerBuilder.com editorial, posted at CNN. According to CareerBuilder.com, there is a set of "negative stereotypes that exist" for job seekers over 50, leaving these aspiring workers with the difficult task of refuting these stereotypes while proving to employers the benefits of their age and experience. CareerBuilder.com's concerns find an answer, however, in the services rendered by technological resource company My Place for Hosting. A spokesperson for the company responds to the CareerBuilder.com editorial by affirming its concerns, but saying My Place for Hosting renders them largely moot.
My Place for Hosting offers services for a range of job seekers, including those who fall into the challenging demographic cited by CareerBuilder.com. The resources offered by My Place for Hosting are all centered on the affiliate marketing industry, wherein home-based employment is the norm. For those seeking employment in this arena, a My Place for Hosting spokesperson notes, age and other potential sources of discrimination are non-issues.
While CareerBuilder.com notes that traditional forms of employment call on mature job hunters to emphasize "a flexible management style, technological proficiency, ability to learn new skills and the willingness to work for a younger boss." The My Place for Hosting spokesperson says affiliate marketing jobs eliminate the need for these efforts. The spokesperson also notes, in response to the CareerBuilder.com editorial, that because affiliate marketing can easily be learned and implemented from home, it is never necessary for age or level of experience to be disclosed.
My Place for Hosting provides technical solutions and support for home-based affiliate marketers. The company is especially popular among those new to the industry, due largely to its emphasis on customer service, something unique in the affiliate marketing world.
According to the My Place for Hosting spokesperson, the affiliate marketing industry is an ideal industry for those over fifty because the work is flexible and low-maintenance, and because the pertinent skills can all be learned on the job.
