Story: IT employers warned against ageism

What a load of Tosh. Companies do and will continue to have ageist policies. As long as they don't tell you you're too old, there is nowt ou can do. Luckily my little mate looked younger than he is and sidetracked the age issue until after they had made the verbal offer. There was a look of horror when he revealed his age and he was told: we are a young company and we would not normally hire someone in your age range. He got the job as they couldn't back out, but old looking chappies like me don't get past the good morning stage.
