I hope they recognize your experience and hire you, Good luck!
Unfortunately, while age discrimination is illegal, it is not illegal to ask your age. In this case, they needed for the background check authorization form, which.. if I refused to give them, makes it look as though I am hiding something.
All I am hiding is my stash...
and, sadly.. it is NOT a drug stash.
I am a fabriholic.
