Hello folks,

Well I finally had a person interview last week, after 1 year and 900 applied positions.
What angered me is a senior interviewing manager asked me, "How many more years do you want to work, 5?"......
How did he know I was 60 years old, and what gives him the right to possibly age discriminate me from the manager position?
I would love to hear your thoughts on his question to me.
I hope you all are having better luck than me, as after one year, I am feeling defeated....

This is absolutely inappropriate and ageist! I’m so sorry. :(

He was inappropriate. He could have asked " Where do you see yourself in 5 years" which is a more rounded out question used in most interviewing techniques. I am seeing similar issues in interviews, as I am the same age, and am being interviewed be people near to or who are my age. How would they like it if they were sitting in our seats??

Exactly! The VP of Operations is 57 and he had the audacity to ask me that question.

I would of said...at least 10 more years...that would of set him backwards...lol.

I told him directly 10 more years after he asked that question to throw him off completely. I still filed with the state....
