Been dealing with this since my 40s. And good luck hiding it on your resume, most application forms these days require dates and even addresses. I am also discriminated against based on location. Some companies won't even interview you unless you are local, even for remote jobs, even if you're willing to relocate.
- polski-g 3y agoHow are you filling out an application in your 40s? Shouldn't you be getting poached from every job due to former colleagues wanting to work with you?
- icedchai 3y agoYes, but be careful. If you have an interview and the offer comes too easily, due to internal referral or whatever, it should raise a red flag. You may be stepping into a big pile of crap (based on personal experience where this happened a couple of times.)
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoI don’t remember filling in an allocation for google, where I have my current job. Maybe it came after the offer? I don’t think applications are very common in tech anymore, you just get an interview set up with a recruiter and the paper work only comes if they want to hire you.
