50 or older? Watch out for this!!
During an interview make sure to avoid phrases that refer to your “20 or 30 years” of experience. While this much experience is amazing and certainly valuable it will instantly age even the most youthful-looking candidate.
If your kids are in college or older, or if you have grandchildren, try not to mention them during an interview. Instead stick to work topics and stay focused on the company not yourself! This time is best focused on why they should hire you, not about your personal life or things that make you seem older. You'll have plenty of time to chat about your kids after you get the job!
Also, be sure to watch out for those sneaky interview questions designed to determine your year of graduation or your age. Although illegal, these can be brought up in a friendly, casual way, and then potentially used against you. Remember stay on topic and keep the focus on why YOU are great for the company. Good luck!

Thank you!

Thanks.

Most paper applications only ask for recent information or information that will be beneficial for the company. There is also a section on most protected info to select not to answer. Age discrimination is illegal but most companies do it anyway. If you offer the information freely then there is no way to prove you were discriminated against. Just answer questions that pertain to the job and do not volunteer too much info. As Ashley said, you will have ample opportunity to converse with coworkers after you are hired. Stay the course and keep the conversation strictly professional and if the interviewer does not then be non specific with your answers.

Thank. I request kindly help me for give me job.

The problem with this is that although companies aren't allowed to ask your age, there are MANDATORY questions on the job application that ask for the year of your high school graduation of college. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

Thats all good until the staffing company wants this new thing now which shoukd be illegal called a VIDEO COVER LETTER . Chew on that a while folks

Still waiting for ups hopefully soon great opportunity take time
