Is It ME?

Izzy is looking for a new job, he has sent scad's of resumes out with very little repsonse. Izzy's skills are up-to-date and he definately isn't making so much that a new master couldn't afford him...... what's the problem? In the old day's Izzy could send out some resume's and get bunches of responses, what's different??? economy?, AGE? Izzy tries to keep his resume only reflecting 10 years of experience is their another method an employer could use to find out how old he is? (and what's wrong with older workers anyway?).
