It's a world where experience of life and work are perceived as
positive benefits. A world where you are part of an increasingly
important sector of society.
Alas, it is also aligned to a world where age
discrimination is very much a reality when it comes to keeping or finding a
job. That, of course, is why we exist.
Regrettably, we cannot
guarantee to find everyone a job. We will only promise to try.
We will also try to help by providing information, by
listening, and by trying to answer any questions you may have about finding a
new job.
Our primary aim, however, is to help registered candidates
find employment.
The following paragraphs will explain how EVERYONE QUALIFIES AS A
WRINKLIE |
It doesn't matter how young or old you are because we accept
everyone. As you might expect, the majority of people who register with us are
in their forties and fifties. But we have many younger and older. The only
condition is that you are available for work, full or part time.
| IT TAKES ALL SORTS TO MAKE A
BUSINESS TICK |
Whatever your qualifications or experience, you can register
with Wrinklies Direct. We specialise in finding employment for older candidates,
so it really doesn't matter what type of work you're looking for.
This
also applies to seniority. Factory floor, boardroom, clerical, senior engineer,
scientist, sales, marketing.the list is virtually endless. It takes a variety of
skills and levels of experience to run most types of business, so everyone has
something to offer.
| REGISTERING COULDN'T BE
EASIER |
To register you
need to send us your CV by first completing our online registration form HERE. You will remain registered until you ask to be
removed from the database. It's a simple process and registration is free.
| BEING REGISTERED MEANS
YOU'RE CONSIDERED FOR ALL VACANCIES |
Your details will be included in the
search for every suitable job brief we receive, so you don't need to do anything
further once you're registered. We may use a key word search on the database but
will also look through selected CVs and forms manually. The details you enter on
your Registration Form are, therefore, extremely important.
If you ever
need to update your details or replace your CV, just complete another form or
send us the new CV.
As tempting as it might be, phoning to find out
what's happening isn't necessary. We'll be in touch if and when a suitable
vacancy arises. Try as we may, it's not possible to guarantee that this will
happen.
| SPECIFIC JOB
APPLICATIONS |
If a
vacancy comes in that seems to match your skills and experience, we'll be in
touch at the contact numbers you've provided. If we can't get you on the phone,
we'll send a letter with the details and ask you to phone us.
If we're in
any doubt about your likely suitability for a particular job, we'll make the
contact anyway and let you decide.
Your details will never be forwarded
to an employer without your permission.
We
may from time to time conduct interviews on behalf of our clients but, more
often, your first interview will be directly with a prospective employer for a
specific vacancy.
Candidates frequently ask to arrange a separate
interview with us but because of the numbers involved, this is rarely
possible.
If you need help prior to an interview, tell us and we'll see if we
can arrange some counselling over the phone or even face-to-face.
We will
always advise you to be yourself but a few tips and a little confidence-building
could be useful.
On occasion, candidates ask our advice on whether a job
offer should be accepted. As such decisions are very personal, we will try only
to provide as much information as we can about the employer.
