It happens. Despite laws against age discrimination, employers may be biased against the older worker—“older” starting anywhere from about 40 on up. (In some parts of technology, the late 30s put a job prospect on the “old” side!) Some of you may have run up against ageism in your job hunt. For example, a prospective employer sounded enthusiastic about you over the phone but seemed less interested when you showed up wearing your well deserved wrinkles or gray hair.

I was laid off last week as a part of a major downsizing by the company I worked for. To me it seems like most of those laid off were over 50. Should I organize a lawsuit based on age discrimination?

In previous blogs, I have spoken out on age discrimination in the workplace, but unfortunately age discrimination comes in many shapes and sizes. Last week my 88 year old Mother came face to face with age discrimination at its ugliest. [...]

You are an "experienced" worker who just landed an interview for the job of your dreams. It´s everything you could ask for. The job is close to home, pays well, and is right up your alley. You have the right skills, you have the right amount of education and you have well more than the called for number of years experience, and that experience is in the same industry. So far so good.

I’m well over 50 but am in a “young person’s” field (computer game design). In my last company I worked from home for a company in California and they never saw me face to face so no problem. Now, though, I need to go to “in person” interviews. How do I keep my age from eliminating me from consideration?
