The other unwritten rule seems to be if you have TOO MUCH experience you are overqualified and a threat to some fragile ego within the organization.
Being over 35 with only 500 hours could work in your favour in a company that has no minimum requirements for contract or insurance purposes.
One of the scenic tour operators, for example, would probably be quite happy with a bit of maturity to sell to the punters. Good luck!
