My wife was in banking for 25 years and didn't get calls for jobs that she trained people on.

Ok, that makes some sense. I'm 44, and I do have relevant work experience listed on by resume dating back to 1991. That's pretty ****ed up if they want the experience but not the age. It's hard to get one without the other.
