Woman Recruited By Google Four Times and Rejected Now Joins Age Discrimination Suit

dcblogs writes: An Ivy league graduate, with a Ph.D. in geophysics, Cheryl Fillekes, who also specializes in Linux and Unix systems, was contacted by Google recruiters four separate times over a seven year period. In each instance, she did well enough on the phone interviews to get invited to an in-person interview but was rejected every time for a job. She has since joined an age discrimination lawsuit against Google filed about two months ago by another older worker. "The amended lawsuit also alleges that the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) received 'multiple complaints of age discrimination by Google, and is currently conducting an extensive investigation.'"

TFA states here last interview with Google was in 2013 and the bought the farm in 2014.
These do not overlap. Her LinkedIn profile would have been different in 2013.
It may very well be that she got into dairy farming due to being jaded with the job market.
She may only be joining the case because she's no longer interrested in IT jobs (which certainly will become impossible after the case).
