Applied online then got a phone call from HR to setup a time to go over resume. Phone interview consisted of questions asked from a sheet of paper . HR must have been knew he kept contradicting himself and was taking to long to write down what I was telling him. I was surprised that I was not moved to next round as I have a friend who got hired with no expeirience in the automotive field and never had a sales job either.

It's unfortunate but evident that ageism is alive and well here. Had interview with recruiter and was told with my experience I would be passed on to the hiring manger but one day later, received a form letter turn down stating that they were proceeding with candidates with more experience (I have over 20 years experience).
