You can be turned down for a job for a lot of reasons, personality fit is probably the No. 1 reason people are passed on (no data here, just my own anecdotal experience). I wouldn't assume it's ageism. But that brings me back to my original point, you have to find a place where your personality and interests are a match, not just RandomJob.com. If you have a higher degree in math, there is always another job out there waiting for you.
