Hi Penny,
I think it absolutely is. I have gone on so many interviews where I have all of the qualifications, but don't get the job. I think I get the interviews because I don't put that I graduated college in 1980, I leave the year off and list the years I got certificates (2003, 2007) so I look younger on paper. Problem is in person I don't look 25, I look like a 40 something (unless I do look 50 in which case I am doomed.)
I am not job hunting right now, I've only had my latest job for six months, but am going to start looking in six months and I am afraid that even with a fresh certificate in the field of choice, I will get passed over for someone younger. I hate aging.
