年龄会影响求职吗？

How old did you say?

Do you include your age in your CV? Some people do. Some people don’t. But it’s usually possible for employers to work out how old you are from other information, such as educational details. But what effect does your age have on potential employers?

Pippa Jameson, a recruitment consultant for Symthson Placement Services, London, says it matters more than you think. ‘Unfortunately employers can often have fixed ideas about people of a certain group. They sometimes feel that older people are not up to date with current technology, or that younger people can’t managerial responsibility. The situation is improving, but it’s a very slow process. ‘
