Job Hunting is Starting to Get on My LAST Nerve!!

http://www.snagajob.com/job-seeker/jobs/job-details.aspx?postingId=3400306&refid=emlBHZipSearch

Age Requirements
Minimum of 18 years of age (I am 51)

Experience or Knowledge Requirements
• Prior teamwork experience in a customer service setting preferred (I have years of this type of experience)

• Ability to add, subtract, multiply and divide in all units of measure with whole numbers, common fractions and decimals using a calculator or 10-key audit--one would think that a freaking ACCOUNTING major has these kinds of skills.

Pre-Employment Testing
• As a committed equal opportunity employer who maintains a drug free workplace, RGIS conducts pre-employment criminal, drug and social security screening

They only wanted experience for the last 12 months, but I went clear back to the ACI job which ended over 5 years ago.

I was turned down for this job.
