Age discrimination

Author: Liquorice
Date: 2007-05-05 22:29

I've noticed in the last few auditions for our orchestra that applicants from the USA don't mention their age in their applications. One person who was sent an email asking what their age was replied: "Why? Do you discriminate based on age?"

One recent applicant was born in 1944. The obligatory retirement age in our orchestra is 63. So if this person came and won the audition, he would immediately have to retire! :-)

Of course we discriminate based on age. Is this not the case in other countries?
