In a recent interview, Albrechtová, a seasoned recruiter, responds to Deník N's series on ageism that explores the discrimination faced by older individuals in the job market. She argues that many older job seekers exhibit communication issues during job interviews, citing reluctance to answer questions directly or to clarify their previous experiences. Albrechtová notes that this lack of effective communication might hinder their chances of securing a position, suggesting that job seekers should take more responsibility for their presentation during the recruitment process.

Additionally, she highlights a common assumption among applicants in their fifties that any failure in the recruitment process must be attributed to age discrimination. While acknowledging that ageism exists, Albrechtová emphasizes the importance of personal accountability and improvement in the interview process. Her perspective is shaped by her extensive experience in office professions, particularly in sectors such as marketing, advertising, media, commerce, IT, and finance, where she primarily searches for candidates.

In contrast, she observes that professionals in fields like healthcare, education, or industry generally do not struggle to find jobs after the age of fifty. Albrechtová addresses practical concerns such as whether she considers a candidate's age before interviews, how lacking information in resumes affects candidates, and advice for older job seekers on enhancing their job search skills. Her insights underline the complexities of ageism and the role of individual behavior in navigating the job market successfully.
