Isn't agism illegal in CA (and in most states)?
I discuss an applicants experience, but have been told not to discuss age. Same as race, I would not ask if someone was asian or hawaiian in an interview, even if I was from Hawaii. If I did they can claim that is why I did not hire them.
Btw, most of the 50+yo applicants I have interviewed were entry level with only a couple years experience.
