Age discrimination is illegal, but like other forms of unfair discrimination still happens, because if an employer doesn't want to employ someone they can usually find some other reason unrelated to their actual ability to do the job.
As said above, definitely don't put your age or date of birth on applications, and don't give dates of education, qualifications or past employment (unless recent) either, as all those could give away your age as well.
Stick to stating how you meet the person spec, or if there isn't one, how you meet the requirements of the job you are applying for.
Also, tailor your application to the particular job/company, don't just use something which could apply to any employer.
And include a brief covering letter saying why you want this particular job and why you think you are ideally suited to it 😀
Good luck!
Don't take rejections or lack of replies too personally, btw. Employers are often inundated with applications. Yes it's rude not to reply to every applicant, but sometimes it just may not be possible, especially for a small company.
When was the last time you used them? I called them and they have a minimum charge now. It’s clear they prefer airport runs only. Thanks to those who recommended Rye Cars.
