I agree with that statement, all *nix admins I have run into have long hair, and sometimes glasses, and know all the 60-70's good music by default. Now Windoze admins, that is another story,

At %dayjob% you can seriously tell the 'Nix admins from the 'Doze ones by appearance! A couple 'Nix ones are clean-cut but ZERO of the Windows ones have long hair or wear sandles.

The folks who do the hiring are human, and even if they try hard not to discriminate on age they often end up doing it subconsciously. Imagine two 55-year-old applicants looking for work. One is 50 lbs overweight, has messy hair, and is dressed in ill-fitting, unprofessional clothes. The other is fit, well-groomed, and in a tailored suit. All things being equal, which one is more likely to be hired? Which one conveys an image that simultaneously portrays both experience and vigor? That's the image to strive for-the one that shows that you have the wisdom that comes from being around the block a time or two, but also still have plenty of youthful energy. As for college, that works to my advantage because I graduated well into adulthood. So the date of graduation is a bit misleading on a resume. :-) John Hornbuckle, MSMIS, PMP MIS Department Taylor County School District www.taylor.k12.fl.us From: Daniel Evensen [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, September 22, 2011 5:43 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: OT:Age Discrimination in IT I try to focus on the items that can be changed. My health, I walk 50 miles a month, dye my hair, am the correct weight for my height, and I dress to fit the corporate environment, etc. I try to keep abreast of new technologies and I am going to start attending local user group meetings. When I was at EDS now HP I remember being told they turned a applicant away because he did not dress like them and they felt uncomfortable. I can not change the current National employment crisis, our countries viewpoints on age etc. They can figure your age by the dates of college graduation and employment history so that is one reason Andrews advice was spot on.
