Abstract:This article complains the restriction in
Age while looking for a job on software development in China. In short,
If you're over 40, it's going to be a nightmare if you want to look
A software development position. The article is written in Chinese.

It turns out that people who are engaged in software development at the age of 40 are so hard to find a job.

I don't know if I'm not trying. It's really strange to hire software development companies for age. It's really difficult for 40-year-olds to reemployment. due to the company's transformation, I recently lost my job. I thought that with years of development experience, finding a job for advanced software development should not be a problem, but it is not actually the case.

First, prepare your resume, and then look for software development jobs on other recruitment websites. It seems that there are many suitable positions, but there is a hidden rule:

Generally, applicants over 35 years old do not consider software development.

This is a bit embarrassing. On the one hand, many companies require applicants to have years of experience in software development, and on the other hand, they require that the age cannot be more than 35 years old. Experience depends on accumulation,
There is no development experience for a certain year, and how can people who have been developed for many years be younger? If the candidates are really experienced, they should be close to the 35-year-old bottom line,
According to this judgment, in fact, the company can't do for a few years, then how can the company ensure the basic stability of the development team.

I have never been involved in the recruitment market before, but I have been introduced to apply for the job, so I don't know if I still have a certain age. From my practical experience,
The 35-year-old limit exists. Although many recruitment agencies do not specify the age requirements, the first thing they do when looking at their resumes is age, there seems to be a "Consensus ":
They are all 40 years old and still writeProgramIt is estimated that the level will not be good. Otherwise, I will become a project supervisor early in the year. But some people like to do this kind of technical work, just like Peter
Like Norton, I 'd rather sell my company and go back to develop my favorite software.

The age restriction can be confirmed by an experiment. if you change your age to 30, it is very easy to apply for a senior software development job. Almost all of you have an interview opportunity. If you are 40 years old, basically, there will be no chance of an interview.

I have been unemployed for one month now, and I only went through two interviews. The first time I was introduced, but the other organization hoped to find management talents,
I am interested in advanced software development, so I am not optimistic about the results. The second time, on the surface, there seems to be no problem, and I have passed the interview with the HR and Technical Manager,
However, there is still no sound information, and now it is a matter of age, because at the end of the time, HR once said, "Oh, you graduated in 87 years ",
I guess I was wrong about my age, because I only wrote my resume about the past 10 years, and she may mistakenly think that I graduated from 97 years ago.

I really don't understand. Isn't software development possible if I'm over 40 years old?
