Question: A follow up to a question? I was turned down for a job because of my age. This did not bother me that much because of my age(62).  When I was employed I was a supervisor and did my own hiring.But I was honest. I told the people I interviewed  what I expected. If you didnt qualifie I told you . Thats all I ask. Be honest

Answer: How can this NOT bother you...if age was the primary reason you were turned down?  Im 59, just lost out on a great job for which I was incredibly qualified and I know darn well it was my age.....for the first time in my professional life, I have to face the age thing and it's not pretty.  Im seriously considering looking into filing a complaint...but know that is a long and painful process....still corks me off tho!
