In this episode, we are discussing the topic of rethinking hiring practices and why age shouldn't be a barrier in the IT industry when applying for a job or selecting a potential candidate. While there may be biases against both younger and more mature workers in tech hiring practices, research suggests that these professionals can bring unique skills and perspectives to the workplace. We discuss the benefits of such an approach, including the value of deep industry knowledge and fresh perspectives, the potential for innovation and problem-solving, and the ability to mentor and be mentored. We also share our experiences of working with both younger and more mature IT professionals and the ways in which they have contributed to companies' success. By the end of the episode, our viewers will have a greater understanding of the benefits of hiring workers from different age groups in the IT industry and be inspired to rethink their own hiring practices. 0:00 Intro clip 0:18 Episode start - Intro words, topics covered 01:03:07 Outro clip #work #hiring #iteducation #itmanager #mentor #itindustry #teamwork Our books: https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-KVM-Virtualization-virtualization-solutions-ebook/dp/B089ZVHFSX?ref_=ast_sto_dp https://www.amazon.com/Linux-Command-Shell-Scripting-Techniques-ebook/dp/B09SQGBW2J?ref_=ast_sto_dp Our Patreon page, if you want to be a Patreon supporter: https://www.patreon.com/user/membership?u=85230931 If you want to consume ThatITShow as a podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/that-it-show/id1680264767 https://thatitshow.podbean.com/ https://tunein.com/podcasts/Technology-Podcasts/That-IT-show-p3086716/ https://open.spotify.com/show/2QAtKF0IWHEMYGa2Ykcfo7?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=PB-sendgrid-emails&utm_source=sendgrid https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL3RoYXRpdHNob3cvZmVlZC54bWw https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BRL925JX/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2NPY5RXB1Y7FO&keywords=thatitshow&qid=1672773902&sprefix=thatitsho%2Caps%2C169&sr=8-1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BRL925JX/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2NPY5RXB1Y7FO&keywords=thatitshow&qid=1672773902&sprefix=thatitsho%2Caps%2C169&sr=8-1 https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/f4683c39-601d-416f-9bcb-ad6ff478dbfb https://www.deezer.com/us/show/5588987 https://player.fm/series/3432772 https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/that-it-show-5070934
