Here is another one - ideal age: 20 - 30 http://www.irantalent.com/home/Linux-Security-Expert-jobs-in...

Do you really want to be doing this when you're 50?
I find it interesting that the job is posted in English. Do they conduct IT business in English or are they specifically trying to recruit out of state talent?

Dang. Soon 40.
I guess I won't be able to take an entry-level programming job in Iran. No point in bucket-listing that anymore...
I'm shocked, shocked, to learn that this level of discrimination exists in Iran.
What is their perceived benefit of hiring young? They can pay less?

They do this in Japan too.
ouch - first time I've seen max age on a job listing...
How disappointing for us old guys!!
Expert Crystal Reports experience and under 40? That's a hell of a Venn diagram.
