Some job applications needing a rework

[PatrickR720159]

I was going to apply for a weekend job at Kaldi's Coffee in Kirkwood and when I looked at the career page, I noticed a couple of errors.  One was about education.  I alerted them about it when it at first said something about the year graduated from school or college and they did fix that.  And if it's work history, if it's a job I retired from, I did learn that if you keep the word "retired" secret from the application, it would make it a little bit harder to age discriminate.  But how do you approach it if the application marks it as a required field?  Don't you that that is a mistake on the application?  I let them know about it.

Patrick @PatrickR720159 , in my "very humble" opinion, it is a WASTE of my time & gas HIDING the fact I am 67 as they will SEE I am old if I get an interview. There are companies who welcome us oldsters. Anyway, if you feel a need to hide the fact that you are "retired" - that is what works for you. Good Luck!!!
