Walk It Through: The Age Question at the Interview

A worker over 40, a remark about fitting in, a promotion passed over, and a layoff list.

An applicant well over 40 is told the team wants someone who will fit in with a young crew.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

Age discrimination against a worker 40 or older. Federal law, other kinds of discrimination, and retirement plan rules are left out.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
