Your job interview is tomorrow. You know your appearance will matter, so you polish your shoes and brush your hair. You realize your interviewer will have your resume in hand, so you've come prepared to explain every minute detail included on it. You've even done practice interviews and prepared your responses to all the trick questions. Are you ready? Not yet. There remains a single type of preparation that you should do that can make or break your interview-knowing how to handle the possible biases of an interviewer.

A call today on our Redundancy Hot-Line started us thinking again about the contradictory implications of old legislation on new rulings on Ageism, due to come into force in the UK in October 2006.At the moment the European Equal Treatment Directive, commits the UK Government to introducing legislation outlawing age discrimination in employment and vocational training, by October 2006, but critics say that so far the government has been acting only in employer’s best interests.In July 2005, the Government published the draft regulations on age discrimination.
