It’s completely counter intuitive but that was my biggest take away from interviewing this year. You would think it’s the unqualified candidate that were the time waster.
Prospective employers will lead you on and waste your time with nonsense and hope of employment with numerous interviews until their bias either qualifies or filters you.
My recommendation: put your cards on the table at the very beginning and filter yourself out. There is no point in pretending it will be a beautiful marriage when they are an old man undergoing midlife crisis looking for a hot teenager. If, as an actual senior, that’s not what you want to be then it’s not going to work.
