So the recruiter sent me a rejection email today (no surprise as my "gut" alarm was blaring that she would per her coldness with me during our phone interview).
She wrote:

I read recently that most digital marketing companies hire 20 and 30-somethings and since I'm nearly 50, I definitely don't fit those demographics. Plus, the way the recruiter described the office fun as "Whiskey Fridays" screamed misogyny to me which is so icky. I can't imagine standing around while a bunch of assholes with ironic beards and Warby Parker designer eyeglasses for men drink whiskey and wax on how ironic life is. I MEAN WHAT THE HELL PEOPLE!
I keep changing my LInkedIn "about me" summary b/c my cousin's daughter told me that recruiters don't read that section but that can't be true. I also filled in my job's summaries on my LinkedIn too. I feel like getting a job is about networking more than it is being qualified.
