The age reference is noted by calling them "Dads Resumes". It is an obvious remark to older male, unemployed, married or divorced, and hungry for work.

- Steuard 13y agoAs I read the story, "Dads Resume" was a specific candidate, so named because that was evidently the filename of the email attachment. That said, there was at least one explicit age reference fairly early on. It put me on edge. But not a lot more was made of it in the article, and I had some sense that a fair number of the candidates invited for interviews were at least middle-aged.
- jussij 13y agoWhile there was an age reference for the "Dad’s Resume" guy, that applicant was not rejected on age, instead he was asked in for an interview. "Dad" was reject because: "The last guy was 15 minutes late, full of himself, and he wants the moon. I’m not asking him back."
- roel_v 13y ago'Dads Resume' is called like that because apparently he can't even type up a resume on a computer, a skill that is right down there under 'assumed to know, not even listed on the job requirements' along with 'tying own shoes' and 'not forgetting to breath'.
- thaumasiotes 13y agoI tend to tie my shoes once and then just leave them tied until the shoe falls apart and needs to be replaced. I wouldn't consider "tying own shoes" a major requirement for anything outside of maybe an acting career. ;p
