I just turned 40, do you guys think I am to hold to get a design position at an agency? A 20 yrs old kid is more creative than a 40 yrs old man? why the fuck I dont even get an answer from the agency's??? Not that I need or something...

depends on how immature you are.

you can never be too old!!!!

how does anyone know how old you are from your portfolio/resume?
do you look it or say you're 40 in your interviews? you're not old... you're wise and distinguished. screw them if they hire some snot nosed 20 year old who isn't as well rounded as you.

its not you the person its the work you do, yes the new generation knows more tools to use but you have the experience to know how to do the job that they may not have or ever have for that matter... without the old ways the new kids wont go that far so dont hold yourself back!!!

intimidate the 20 year old kid sexually... he will never tell anyone and he will leave the company running. and thats how you secure your position

It depends on the agency. A lot of places want tools. I tend to find those are the ones who don't survive the long term. The ones who matter care about the thinking. Tools can be learned in months at a decent level, thinking takes years, if not decades.

By 40 you should have a strong portfolio.
Your work should say "I know what I'm doing and I don't need my art director to hold my hand". The only problem that comes with this is the salary.

its all about the work. no one cares if you 40 or 32.
