am I not getting job offerings because of my age?

on all job offerings they ask either your date of birth or what year you graduated from high school. I thought it was illegal to ask for age. I feel like I am being discriminated against because of my age. #ageism

Well if thats truly the case you are applying at the wrong places.Those places want young people they can mold,shape and bend into production machines.They could care less about you. Is that you reslly want. Money is their bottom line. A old school company who just wants your dependability and ability to get the job done. Is much easier to get and more suitable for people of our age. Not as much money but if that is a issue now your in trouble no matter what.

It is illegal for employers to discriminate based on age. If you suspect this is happening to you, you can discreetly inquire during the interview process. Remember to highlight your skills and experience on your resume. Consider using job search providers like Jobcase, LinkedIn, and Indeed to explore opportunities. Good luck! #ageism
