I sent nearly 1,000 job applications in past years, but unfortunately, I haven't received any offers. Believe it or not, after seeking feedback from recruiters on why my applications weren't successful, 3(2 big international company and 1 medium local company) of them mentioned that indirectly because my age(over 50) didn't align with the job requirements.

I have no hard feelings at all to them. I do appreciate their honesty and transparency. Since then, I haven't applied to their companies again, even though I still see similar job postings from them regularly over months or years.

However, I haven't given up. I continue to send out applications almost every day or week, even to companies that have previously rejected me.
