Hi Diane, Why shave off 10 years of experience? Those years should be taken in account as a great strength, my friend, but in this culture they are flipped onto their asses as a liability!!!! Its a dishonest and disrespectful culture towards those who have a good deal of experience and thus a good deal of age yo here in the U.S. . Peace . .

Hi Alva, Based on the rate at which I've been overwhelmingly and repreatedly rejected, my friend, for years no matter what field, they simply don't want me around, dude . . I'll be 65 in January . . it hurts . .

I shaved 10 years off of my 30 yr job experience. And I've been having phone interviews with people with clearly 1 yr of HR experience. SMH

@Sam Spencer why "Don't get older?" Is it a difficult field to have longevity in due to the physical demands of the job?
