A friend who is 63 is an engineer with a master degree but no one is hiring him due to his age, any advice?

He is perfectly healthy mentally and physically.

Use Linkedin and visit the local office of the state employment agency. It's amazing how many job openings they have on file, and age discrimination is definitely a no-no.

@exexec but how can you determine the basis on which you were discriminated? they arent gonna tell you to your face that you're too old

@iamnikki You can't prove it, but neither can companies fail to give you a shot. Most reputable state agencies trace what happens when you contact a company.

They may not ask about the age directly but conclude it from the dates of high school graduation in the resume@exexec
