Was that the sound of a flodd gate opening ?

CTC say in their FAQ section :-

Q I am just over 34. Can you make an exception to the age limit?

A Sorry, there are no exceptions. You have to be 33 or below, or only just 34 (within 3 months of your 34th birthday) to apply.


However The Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006, which come into force on October 1st 2006, make 'ageism', discrimination on the grounds of age, unlawful and says:-

Among other provisions, the new legislation will make it unlawful to:

Specify that candidates for employment should be above or below an given age

Discriminate against workers under the age of 65 on the grounds of age

Make someone redundant or bar someone from promotion because they are too old or too young

Dismiss an employee or deny them the training opportunities on the basis of age.

I guess a fair few webmasters will be at work later than planed this week ???
