Like I wrote earlier, I’ve had my app looked at 3 times or more. Attended job fairs. Heck, even there as soon as you walk up and they see your age they try to get rid of you.
Get over yourself...recent United class had an age spread of 24-60. Or will your excuse be that the 60 year old got hired because his kids are out of the house so he could “Hanitat with Humanity”?
