That greatly depends on who is the person reviewing the resumes. I've been in the position for hiring people and age never really bothered me. I graduated High School in 1998, and am 25 now. I've been in director and senior positions sense I was 20.
I was doing contract work while in high school, and was fairly successful. If somebody is so tied up with my age, I don't want to work there anyway. -----Original Message----- From: Michael T.

Having your HS education on your resume reveals one major piece of information that you just don't want to hand out on a silver platter... your age. Going with the average age for high school seniors I would say that in 1999 you were ~18. That makes you roughly 24 now. Let assume you are interviewing for a senior position which requires substantial experience which most HR people would assume you lack given your age and duration in the field... all of which they calculated based on your HS graduation date. Your resume is tossed into the garbage and another candidate is chosen. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:177393 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
