How have you tried to avoid the realities of ageism? I’ve deleted dates from my schooling on LI and even dyed my graying mustache before video interviews.

You can do what my CDs do and drink the blood of juniors

I chopped several jobs from my resumes and LI. It's an ad for your experience—not a history book. I trimmed my beard shorter so you can't see the grey as much. Quit using the overhead light that made me look even more bald than I am. Considering a ring light to iron out the wrinkles. Agism sucks. I feel like I finally know what I'm doing but for real this time.

definitely trim your resume!

Drinking the blood of juniors is overrated. If you can get your hands on ad-school blood, or better yet, the blood of a teenager thinking about advertising as a career, you will actually be able to ride the skateboard on your wall again.

Guess not. Just another shaved-head embracing bald bloke. At least now the gray that peeks in on the sides and back after a day or so doesn't stand out as much as the brown did. Much more dignified.

Not a direct answer but unionizing is not an awful idea. There is an organization called The Freelancers Union but it is more of an information repository. Toothless when it comes to more serious legal needs. There’s so much emphasis on other aspects of discrimination but when it comes to age, you just don’t see the same attention focused on those cases. Even if you are hired, your work is frequently dismissed as irrelevant. I’m considering a complete career change to something more transactional/entrepreneurial. I’m not emotionally or financially ready to retire but I’m tired of feeling bad about my work.

Hello fellow teens. I take the opposite route. I got into advertising at 30, my hair is already grey and I’m fat. But I’m good at this and I’m more culturally in touch than 99% of humans. I just throw that shit out. I don’t want anyone to think they’re hiring a fetus when they’re getting a someone with a Costco rewards card.

This is a recent incident happened to me, was interviewed for tcs, salary discussion happened on 12th March and was told to wait for final approval and was told that offer letter would be rolled out in 2 weeks. Hr did not negotiate on the CTC either. After waiting for a month i tried reaching HR they did not respond. After multiple emails they simply say that they cannot move forward due to high deviations. Guys is this normal in TCS that even after final CTC discussions ,candidates get rejectd.
