Eliminate the EEOC and allow for honesty in job descriptions

Created by D.K. on September 17, 2014

As a permanently unemployable 46-year-old woman, I am hereby requesting that the EEOC be eliminated, thus permitting companies to be honest in their job descriptions.

Hiring companies want candidates with my experience but at the same time want these candidates to be under the age of 30. Rather than having suffered through 500+ rejected job applications I would have much preferred knowing beforehand that each one of these companies was going to immediately reject me (via their oh-so-efficient applicant tracking / keyword systems, where they don't even need to read my resume) due to my having more than the now-standard "3 to 5 years of experience required."

I want this game to stop. I want to be told I will not be considered for a job due to my advanced old age.
