I just turned 24 but I look 15/16. Everyone who doesn’t know me are always shocked to hear my age. I’m also very short and have a young looking face. I had a stable job for a year with good people but the company went bust so I got thrown into the job seeking world. I landed a decent job, but when a month went by, my co-workers basically started to bully me because I was the youngest. They also called me “baby” and things. I had to leave the job because I felt like the scapegoat as I was the youngest there.
So I’m searching for a job again. And everyone treats me like I’m so young. Every time I interview, I feel like people look at me like I’m a child. And it’s always the same “not enough experience”. I even had a phone interview where the guy was constantly questioning my experience and said I was basically just out of university when I’ve been out for 2 years, ultimately, I could tell he thought I seemed really young because of my voice and had that attitude of “yeah whatever, kid”. Even when I try to dress grown up and wear makeup, I still look young and I also sound young! Has anyone else experienced this and what can one do?
