RE: Job Opportunity - Maryland

I don't think asking the age on an employment application is prohibited; however, it invites suspicion and leaves a paper trail that may haunt you. Defining a college graduation date is odd, and appears to be a silly way to gauge the applicant's age. (Really, was EE course content so much different

Not really buying this argument. I too spent a second considering that they were looking for some sort of experience being taught only in the last 20 years or something.

But then if I graduated from college when I was 35, the graduation time frame would make me 46 to 50 years old. So is this really an age criteria? Or maybe is this saying I want somebody that has a certain style of training of a type not given today? Or maybe is this saying I want someone wit

RE: Job Opportunity - Maryland

Graduated between 1988 and 1992? Sounds like age discrimination to me! No one over 40 need apply. Not that I’m interested in the position, but this requirement sounds like it could violate the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 ( http://www.eeoc.gov/facts/age.html) . Ghery Pettit

Re: Job Opportunity - Maryland

I believe that this sort of age specificity, even if cloaked in graduation year, is illegal in the United States. Not that it doesn't go on all the time, but it is illegal, and in my opinion, wrong. Some years ago there was a flap with IEEE Spectrum running ads that asked for (for example) 2-8
