When Christina Jones lost her business analyst job at UnitedHealthcare after 15 years, she figured she'd find another job eventually. She never expected the search to drag on for an entire year. The 56-year-old Philadelphia professional, with a background in healthcare IT and years of corporate experience, had a difficult time getting employers to take notice.
She would apply for jobs, go to interviews, and wait for replies but was met with constant rejection. Jones felt employers dismissed her before she had the opportunity to demonstrate her experience.
