Not sure if this will help your case, but if you spot a job ad that mentions “young” or “mature” cash in on it, it could be illegal in some jurisdictions. https://www.personneltoday.com/hr/sexism-in-recruitment-red-lipstick-good-dress-excellent/
35 percent of the U.S. population is now age 50 or older. Difficult to weed the oldies out unless you are clever about your selection process. I don;t think hiding your age is a good idea though. It will make it look like you have issues about it.
You won’t see the discrimination in the ad, but trust me, you will experience it when they pick the candidates. Used to be women that suffered, now, I am not so sure.
So they screw you at the interview instead? Like this well-meaning chap?
