Bob, Don is right. Although IANAL, I have taken enough recent classes in both
HR and basic business legal stuff that if your friend stated those exact words
in an interview, he would be violating federal law.
It is even possible that your mention below has dirtied the hiring process.
Please advise your friend that he/she needs to restate this and remove any hint of
"looking for younger" hires.
As Paul (I think) said elsewhere, the best path is to hire young and old and
use the accumulated knowledge of the elder to mentor the younger. I'm glad to
see an 18-year-old want to learn z/Architecture assembler, but the
opportunities need to be created
to allow this to happen.
Again, IANAL, but I have book learning, which is almost as dangerous. ;)
Later,
Ray

Folks:
This is a community service announcement.
While at SHARE, I spoke with a friend of mine who runs a software
development house. He is looking for a couple of Assembler programmers
with strong understanding of z/OS internal architectures. And, truth be
told, he wants them to be as young as possible.
If you know of anyone who seeks such a position, please have them
respond to me directly and send me their resume. I'll see that
introductions are made and will bow out after that.
Sincerely,
Bob
