| Age Barrier
Hi,
I am also a fellow NZer and just turned 60 and have yet to experience the joys of ageism in the luxury yacht employment market. While I am based in the UK which has anti ageism legislation they always find ways to get around employing you or the work is based in a country where they do not have such laws and they are able to request your date of birth.
I have been an IT consultant/Accountant, and have decided a career change was necessary and so I have just completed my RYA Yachtmaster offshore and have been looking for my first sailing job. I realise that I will have to start at the bottom of the rung in order to get a foot in the door. despite having sailed most of life and owned my own keel boats.
I am very fiI for my age exercising regularly so if anyone knows of any work I would be interested in hearing from them.
Endeavour
