ALLERGAN WILL NOT EVEN INTERVIEW OLDER REPS

[anonymous]

At the POA meeting we were talking at our table about how few people were over 40. Five years ago over half were and several were over 50. Not any more.

The Hospital Division has older reps. Get a job with them.

I got some Botox in my forehead and Juviderm'd my lips before the interview. 57 years old
and I look like Freddie Mercury but hey...I got the job!

STOP PROMOTING YOUR PRODUCTS TO OLDER WOMEN IF YOU WONT EVEN HIRE US.

MANAGE YOUR MONEY BETTER IF YOU ARE OLD AND STILL HAVE TO WORK A PHARMA JOB

Over 45 you won't get a promotion either.

You are not sales rep, period.

I wrote in all caps so people like you would have an easier time reading and understanding what I wrote. I was wrong. For one thing, I did not state that it was illegal to ask for a graduation date. It’s just the wrong thing to do because you are basically asking someone’s age. How would I know the application asks for a college graduation date if I didn’t apply for a job? Isn’t it implied that I applied for a job if I knew this information? Your ignorance is stunning.

I never put my date in

Never mind the sexist (and ugly) green jackets for Pclub winners, an old white man Forest tradition they just can’t give up.

Nasty.

(And no comments about being a wannabe, I’ve won my share)

ALLERGAN WILL NOT EVEN INTERVIEW OLDER REPS. Their application asks “date of college graduation”.

not true- the last 3 hires my dm has made have all been over 50- one male 2 female

green jackets...how ‘old school’, but won’t hire women over 50...lol

That’s ok, I really don’t want want to share a room with strangers

Have to put it in or you cannot complete the application!

First, you are not helping your case much writing in all CAPS.

Second, our lawyers have lawyers, if the application was out of compliance with federal and state employment laws I would be shocked.

Last, maybe just maybe apply for a job first before you indict a company with a charge of agism.

Actually... cap’s do help (you sound overly sensory) and secondly, is it time to gather people together for a class action to sue? It’s called ageism.

My manager just hired an “older” rep in the Botox franchise so this is not true. She’s definitely over 50.

Can’t help you on this one, I was hired in the last year and am in my early 50’s.

I see the trend moving away from hiring younger reps. I have been in the business for 20 years and have definitely noticed the trend hiring people with experience and tenure. I worked for a large Pharma company and the average age was around 45 or a little higher. Older women, I believe, are hirable but don't go into an interview looking like a frump. Make sure you look sharp, so they focus on the most important characteristics of intelligence, passion, and strong skill set to mention a few. Be very prepared to showcase your talents in your answers. I am late 50's and just got hired for a specialty position I didn't have current experience selling in the disease state. However, I bring a lot to the table and job. I may look a little younger but still they know I'm older by my resume - and I don't have my graduation date listed. They figure it out easily. I have noticed on very few applications they ask for graduation date. Maybe it was only Allergan's that asked for this year. Most are optional.

If you bring a lot to the table, they will notice, and you will get hired even if you are 50+. Have confidence.

I beg to differ. I have experienced FRANK AGE DISCRIMINATION at this company.
It is blatant and against federal law.
