While unfair stereotypes continue to fuel age bias in the U.S., here are ten ways to avoid them.
It was right at the moment that I thought that I’d recovered from Saturday night’s disco inferno and baseball extravaganza, when I realized, yesterday, that I’d paired DC Comics with Marvel by coming to work in Batman socks and Guardians of the Galaxy II boxer shorts.
Hopefully, my reader won’t think any less of me.
There are betting things to say in a job applicant’s rejection email than “age will matter”.
