Am I too young / old for the position?
Being classed as being too young or too old can often be a barrier to entering a new profession or indeed to just obtaining a new position. You often read advertisements where it says the candidate must be between a certain age range. If you are not in this age range what can you do? You could apply anyway (perhaps leaving off your age/date of birth from your CV), but you may be rejected as you do not meet their criteria.

It is important that you do not let yourself get disillusioned with your job search if you are the victim of ageism. You may have to investigate other routes of finding work and not rely just on the advertised job market – you should not be just relying on the advertised job market anyway.
