Zanza: "here"? Arent you in: Germany?
No, I am in: Singapore. That's why I wrote "here".  :smarty: I currently work here on a project for a couple of months.

I hate having to hire new people. They put me off with their cvs (too old, too young, too greedy, too academic, went to a shitty and/or conservative university etc.) and then any who make through the initial sieve end up sucking during the interview.

Also the part of the interview where you make them take off their shoes is probably off-putting.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You're not meant to put age on a CV though are you? :unsure:

Prejudiced fucks like yourself.  And what do you mean 'shitty university'?  You went to a shitty university.  What's your problem?
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

You're just not meant to. Some legal stuff about agism. Or so I hear, I'm far from an expert on such matters.

What if a company wants to hire someone and develop this person professionally with a long term goal? Shouldn't they be able to specifically hire someone young?

Then they can ask your age over an interview. Or you know, look at how much experience said person have.

That's the other thing, it's not as if age can't be deduced most of the time browsing through the prospective employee's previous experience, graduation year or things like that.
