Or the infamous "We selected someone whose qualifications better match our needs" when the qualifications were a lousy two years of experience. I have ten. Did someone with fifteen apply for the job?

you know what sucks? How people judge you or wonder "why" you would want to take something where your qualifications exceed their expectations or needs. If you're willing to do the work and are happy with the pay then what do they care? I have a relative who was a VP at his last job. He's having a hell of a time finding work after his company downsized him because there are few openings for people at that level and if he intereviews for anything less than a VP they think he's crazy for downgrading himself. He can't win.

Ya know..., There are new laws in effect to discourage just that kind of B.S.. All you have to do is contact a labor lawyer if you think that a company is discriminating against you for your age..this time the law is on your side.

Hey CorporateSlave--in the meantime to avoid the BS, your realative should probably trim and clip his resume and 'dumb down' his qualifications so that they look at him, take him for a schmo, and he can have whatever job he applies for, do a damn good job and rise above the BS monkeys....and then downsize them!

I HATE it!! It's like uhm, hello McFly, I'm applying for the job because I WANT THE JOB!! It's not your place to tell me I'm "too qualified" for it; that is for me to decide. Chaysus!

Funny thing...didn't they recently pass a bill that said something to the effect of "EVEN if you FEEL like you've been discriminated against for your age, you can have the company investigated for it?"
