Eva is currently on a placement course for a hotel receptionist. Promise her a job as soon as she finishes the course.



"I received this course as a gift from heaven," says Eva. "I snatched it with both hands and on the 25th of the month I finish with the help of the name. I have no problem working, I'm divorced, I'm master myself, live life for myself, prefer to be outside and not at home. I have no problem with that, absolutely not. The course is a month And half really intense, eight hours every day. I like to work, move, do things. I got divorced 14 years ago, when I was married I did not work. I want to live my life. I went through a process of self-awareness, until then I did not understand who I am. I am in the process Of growth. "



Eva talks about the benefit her age brings to work: "I am in a place where I can give my all to work, I have life experience, I am considerate, I live alone, full of goals, not only do I work but I also spend time. Just not being home "I want to feel that I live in a world that belongs to a stream not outside the stream."

"Wishing myself to stay in the workplace."

In addition to Eva, Ilan Mor Chai, 64, from Elad, divorced, a father of five and a grandfather of eight, also received the course. Ilan worked for about seven years as a food warehouse manager. "A warehouse manager needs the mind not the power, to move pallets, to get goods, to move, over time the chores have grown and reduced the standard of the warehouse workers and that has made it difficult for me. I was looking for a job where I come to work and have fun."



"At my age, I don't have a mortgage, I don't have debts, I don't have alimony," says Ilan. "My ex-wife works at a reinforcement company and she would send me job offers from time to time even though she is not in the field I was looking for. At the end reinforcement are the ones who found me the current job. Work. I have been working for about six months at Taro Plus, which supplies food products to institutions, hotels, food chains as a receiver - responsible for receiving frozen goods and responsible for the Landover chain.



Ilan says that from the height of his age, his employers received a "ready-made product."

"I came with a forklift license, with experience, within a day they saw the results. I believe in 'you did and did not publish - you did not.' This is military thinking, I show the boss that he does not pay for free. "That of receiving goods not many people work honestly. I wish for myself to stay in this workplace at least until retirement. Work revives the human being. There is a framework, tasks, schedule."
