When I was laid off a year ago, I posted my resume on Dice and Monster. I
received very few calls, although my resume showed 25 years of good
experience. After knocking off the first 10 years and taking out references
to old technology, I received many more calls and emails. I can't explain
that with anything other than age discrimination.
(I'm a relative newcomer, glad to be on this list.)
