1) I started young
2) Most of my interviewers were not 20-somethings (phew)
3) 20-somethings figure thirty-something is old and don't know the difference between 30+, 40+, or 50+ :)

Also I dye my hair. <grin> And although many were agin it, the little tasteful tattoo on my hand actually HELPS rather than hurting my job prospects. Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.
My original question was more about resume prep, because once you get the interview, you will have a better chance of finding out whether or not your personality and skills are a fit for the job. However, if HR departments and hiring managers are throwing away resumes based on chronology or length, should I fix that?
