Again? I'm annoyed of this topic. If you kept improving yourself along the way, I'm confident you will find a good company that value your knowledge.

This article is about age discrimination happening at the initial levels of the job application process, before you're evaluated on your merits. The study the article mentions is about identical resumes with different ages. The lawsuit against R.J. Reynolds is about guidelines given to recruiters. In both these cases, it doesn't really matter how good you are if you're trying to get a job through the standard process.

Having years of work experience doesn't count as improvement? Because it does in almost every other industry out there.
