My experience have been as worst as can be. I have been loking for a job in the states (any) since I became 50 with no real good luck. I have been looking for the past 7 years without luck. Why? Simple. Eventhough I am a CPA, MBA with great experience and hispanis but US citizen they always have an excuse that there is someone more qualified. The same letter format for more than 700 positions in which I qualified. Is this discrimination or what?

It literally depends on the "executive" hair and physique. No joke. This does (unfortunately) matter. One either looks the elder attractive part or he doesn't.

Think John DeLorean. Think Peter Lynch.
