Single mother gets job rejection over age
Identified as @wantor837 on TikTok, the single mother of four shared how she had prepared for the interview.
She expressed her disappointment after she was told that she couldn’t get the job because she was 34 years old.
Her words:
“I know you all have been waiting for the interview update🥹🥹 I prepared for that interview like my life depended on it. I thought finally I’ll have a good job to make life easy for me and the kids. Went to the market, got my things ready… and I still didn’t get the job. They said 34 was too old.
"I’m broken. I won’t lie. This one really hurt. But then I remembered Look at the birds… your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than them? I may be hurt, but I’m not hopeless.
"A better door is coming. One that won’t ask me to reduce my age to fit in. Thank you to everyone who sent congrats and prayers. I see you. I’m not giving up. Am sorry if it didn’t turn out the way you all prayed and hoped for me.
"Look at the birds of the air they do not sow or reap yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than them. - Matthew 6:26 (KJV)."
In the comments, she added:
"I’d love to work in a company that values honesty, growth, and teamwork. A place where I can use my skills to support clients and the business, while I also grow with the company. I’m open to retail, corporate offices, banks, or service based companies. I studied Building but my area of expertise is Customer Service & Administrative Support. Thank you, I truly appreciate."
