My wife (who knows what she is doing is wrong) works in a call center type field and doesn't want to hire anyone over 40.

Companies are trying to keep their average employee age down. The CEO Adidas bragged that the average age in their corporate jobs was around 30 years old.

So the older you get, the longer the job search takes...
I just turned 41.

Yeah good advice, I look young but I need to cut my work history from last 15 years to last 10 years to better promote myself next time I look.
