It’s prob unfair but I must admit it was this that came to mind as soon as the pic of the Liverpool crowd crash guy appeared. To me he looked so like so many angry men, my age in IT industry..

I think the issue came about when schools and companies stopped arranging it and relied on parents .. cutting opportunities for social mobility that I got via IBM working direct with our school (normal comp) v different from mum (postwoman) dad (electrician) could have offered via them or friends

Having said that… a work shadowing rather than experience changed my life.. at 16 I got to shadow the ‘resident director’ of IBM around for 3 weeks, he allowed me into every meeting, the amount I learned about ‘working world’ and IT showed me jobs I didn’t know existed. Wish more of this happened.

I loved that.. I’m only half way through the book at the moment, and have found Robins previous writing on minds useful & interesting, but you’ve managed to articulate some of the niggles I am feeling while reading.

I had to find a new role post 50, in IT.. post Covid too so I’d had 3 years out doing community work during Covid.. couldn’t even get interviews for roles I was far over qualified for. Had to half my salary and almost restart career .. and bosses not prepared to take previous experience into 1/2

This is brilliant and really useful… as someone who’s encouraged to use it as much as possible at work I s had a nagging worry at the back of my mind around this but hadn’t got round to looking at the numbers.. this is huge help. Will share.
