Ralph DeVito, a New Jersey resident who filed the lawsuit, had applied for two tech job openings advertised by Infosys on Monster.com.

One Infosys job posting set a "maximum experience" requirement of 15 years, and another set a limit of 25 years.

1. Good...Sue the Discriminating Cheap Asses....

Found this to be interesting:

"Most of Infosys workers in the U.S. are from India and are using either H-1B or L-1 visas. But a recent lawsuit also cites its use of the B-1 visa, a visitor visa."

2. Don't go back more than 10 years on your resume

even if you have 20+ years of experience. My husband was told this by an IT headhunter. We also know a HR manager of a national retail chain. She told us there are programs they use that will reject resumes when certain keywords show up.

This OP does not surprise me at all.
