Two seconds of Googling provides lots of evidence showing that you are 100% incorrect, such as this article from the Society For Human Resource Management. Really, it shouldn't even be necessary for me to have had to make this post.

For some reason the link doesn't seem to be doing anything but redirecting to a login, so I'll quote the first paragraph:

Quote:
There is no law that prohibits an employer from asking date of birth (DOB). It’s how the employer uses that information that is important. Of course, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act protects workers by prohibiting discrimination against workers age 40 and over in any employment or employment-related decision. Therefore, the employer will want to take care not to use or appear to be using the DOB in making employment or employment-related decisions.

A hundred things are more possible than the interviewer being scared of you.


The interviewer was probably losing patience when he went on some spiel about it being illegal to ask his birthdate.

He tapped while he went on about how much experience I have.

I'm surprised he didn't faint and ask for your autograph and perhaps a little bit of advice on how can be as great as you are.

Gotta love those dubious eye-rolling emoticons.

Keep going - we're all buying into this. But next time start it out with, "Once upon a time....."

Don't blame me because you are ignorant of body language cues.
