Self-imposed ageism: If you are your own worst enemy

Age discrimination is a major problem, especially for older workers and job seekers. In a 2013 survey by the AARP US employees and job applicants 45-74, nearly two-thirds (64 percent), they said they had experienced or known ageism in the workplace work. And reports of age discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed increased by 36 percent 1997-2013.

But what gets less coverage and attention is self-imposed ageism. That is true for job-seekers and workers in their 50s and 60s will remember their own history beliefs about their limited prospects due to age. (Limiting beliefs relate to thoughts or stories you tell yourself you do not and do not support the impact of their decisions and behavior.)
