-A female, 47 years of age, with 20 years of experience, who is a paraplegic
-A female, 22 years of age, who is a new college graduateThe hiring manager does not want to consider the 62-year-old male because he does not believe he will be able to put forth enough effort at his age. He also does not want to consider the 47-year-old female because he believes her appearance will cause potential customers to not buy their product.
