Maybe they assume there will be future health issues soon ? Age discrimination is real. If you are young and single, easier to fight for a job. Look, I didn't say 'easier to land a job' but rather it is easier to fight for a job. For an older worker, no matter how good he is in talking, age is still something employers consider as one of the most impt factors in an employee.
Wealth of experience is over-rated. Some ppl work in a company for 20 years without much exposure, so what is this 20 years spent in that company ?
