While applying for a job recently, I purposely left the graduation dates off a company application so I could minimize the chances of any age discrimination. I made it past the first two rounds of interviews and was called back with one other person for a final interview. At the end of the interview, I was told I needed to supply the missing graduation dates, along with a couple of other minor things. The other applicant was then hired and I think I have a valid age discrimination case. What do I do to get one started?
