Employers want to set quotas for workers with disabilities and employees from 45 years of age. The innovation was announced in the Ministry of Social Policy. Employers will find a way to bypass such quotas, say experts.

This was told by a career consultant Tatiana Voloshina.

"They will perceive them as a formality. There will be workbooks of older people, but these will be dead jobs. In order not to pay a penalty for non-compliance with quotas, they can pay a minimum wage. Quotas can hardly be solved by the problem, "- commented Voloshin.

According to her, the biggest mistake job seekers in adulthood is to press on the pity of the employer.

"Mature applicants should be taught to look for work, to explain in whom the market needs, how to look and behave in an interview. Looking for active, purposeful. Often candidates over 45 in interviews complain to employers that they must support children, pay loans. Presses on pity. But they must "sell themselves" as specialists. It should be explained by employment centers. The fact that the state took up the problem is good. It must be solved globally, but not administratively, "says the expert..

Because of the departure of young people for work abroad, employers now have less prejudices about the 45+ job seekers than 3-4 years ago, says Inna Novitskaya, the owner of the company to look for work "New Person".

"However, employers are more inclined to hire young people because it is active. But age is not always in priority. More important for employers are other qualities, especially professional skills. Once they were looking for the chief power engineer. The company behind the scenes was asked to find a person under the age of 45. In the end, they took a 63-year-old man. Because he plays volleyball, and they have their own corporate volleyball team, "says Novitskaya..
