I have had several bad experiences with interviews and age. One 'Kid' of 24 told me 'God, you're old!' My response was 'Yea I was probably running coax and twisted pair when you were in diapers' I wanted to say 'that was 5 years ago while I was listening to AC-DC' too. I get the old fart a lot until they need help. And when we have to run cable or move servers, the little wimps are taking breaks.
From: Daniel Evensen [mailto:dane...@att.net] Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2011 8:23 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OT:Age Discrimination in IT Age Discrimination in IT: I have read several articles online that states that age Discrimination in IT is more prevalent than in other fields. Question, do you find this true or false? If you find it true how do you handle it? I am a former NT System Administrator that was semi-retired and that wants to return to the IT field after a 10 year absence. Financially, I do not need to work but want to. I feel that the fact my health at 52 is excellent, am at the right weight etc, will be a plus in my favor.
