I applied for a position with a company that usually gets students right out of college, only I was 30 at the time.

They had me bring in my high school transcripts (nothing about college, mind you) and started going through them asking about my grades in particular classes in depth.

I joked of course that it was not quite as relevant as my experience since then that made me a very strong candidate for the position, but they kept going, even after I asked them, “You realize this was almost 15 years ago, right?”

I soon told them they were looking for someone else and just left. Smart move on my part.
