Gina getting a job is one thing keeping it is another

Getting a job here is one thing keeping it is another.

in the early 80's may be the very late 70's they wrote a song about Brisbane, called Love you Brisbane, I loved that song then and I love it now

but why am I too old at 55 I have knowledge, skills and at heart I am still only 35 years of age since being sacked from a company with 3000 in ASustralia more than 40% have be stood down for one reason or another and replaced with younger people

I am an Aussie through and through (Brisbane) but when I was sacked for being to old after working for the same company for 25 years and being in the top three managers world wide I found it hard to get a job I was always told we are looking for some one younger, or we wanted some one who will be with us at least 20 years or more.

In the end I gave up after sending my resume to over 1,000 companies all the jobs I was qualified to do and supported with two degrees one in Business Management and Sales and Marketing along with 25 years practical know how.

I then submitted my Resume onto the international market and with in 5 days was approached by a Chinese company to work for them.

Now one year Since I have been here in Shenzhen China I have more then tripled this companies bottom line and what’s more I get paid very well here do I miss Blue Skies and Australia yes but here I have a future back home I am to old ...now I am 55

Then a thought came to me why is we can make and sell media players and achieve a good profit on a product like am DVR or a Media Player and yet in Australia and Europe it is sold up to 500 times more than we sold it to the buyer for.

It is criminal when you know how much this company sells the product for and how much you pay

Why???
Kevin Rudd you need to have a look if you wish to reduce Inflation
