    a new law against age descrimination

    A new employment law will come effect soon against age discrimination. Does it apply to contractor? If yes, can I reject agency's inquiry about age? As I know, in North Amercia, agency or employer wouldn't ask a interviewee about his/her age in any interview occation.

      I am not old for a contractor, but not happy with age inquiry. What age is golden time for a contractor?

        I've never put my age on my CV, whether as a permie or a contractor and no-one's ever asked my age!

        No-one's ever politely said I looked younger than I am either when I have revealed my age, must have that 'mature' look!
