Sure. But I have a full-time job and a family. Combined with the essay's focus on the candidate's high school career, it's a pretty strong signal I'm too old to work there. I'm sure as hell not going to spend a year of my precious spare time on the gamble it'll get me a job where they expect me to continue working off-hours.

I'm "old" (~50) and I don't take it as age related. It just sounds like you are at a point in your life where you have different priorities and should look for jobs that match those.

  Really? How relevant is your high school experience to your skillset today?

    That isn't what I was saying at all. I said "similar to".

      I have two complaints there. One is the free internship thing. The second is the focus on one's high school career in the essay section. Two yellow flags makes red, IMO.

The job is for a junior position.

  That's not what the posting said.

    You are right, I misread it.
