    There is only one employer worse that the one discriminating on the age. The one who cannot figure out how old you are by adding years of experience and education.

      No education on my CV, too old now for it to be relevant
      Any work over 10 to 12 years old is no longer on my CV as it's not relevant anymore (10 in I.T. is like 20 years outside IT imo)

            I've seen jobserve ads for Snr Project Managers and Programme Managers wanting a degree 2:2 minimum, like WFT that was 25 years ago?
