Overview: Employers cannot ask about age in an interview because of age discrimination laws. And because they cannot ask your age, they generally stay away from the topic all together. Remove the burden by asking them directly if they have any concerns about it. Use words such as "Now that we've had a chance to meet, I'm sure you must have some concerns about hiring me. Would you mind sharing those with me?" This gives the employer an opportunity to get any lingering issues on the table. As long as you address their issues without anger or defensiveness, the conversation will be a positive.
