I was asked about my age during the interview.

The other day, I went to an interview at a Japanese company and

at the end of the interview,
I was asked ？ "How old are you
?
In the U.S., it is taboo to ask questions that reveal one's age, but the question was asked without hesitation, and I was very surprised and exclaimed,
"I am **years old." （ The interviewer is a woman ｝ and prompted me to answer
"I am in my 50's ？". And
"I ask everything." And.
"Are you physically fit ？?"
I was silent the whole time, and I think I had a very drawn look on my face.

I was very uncomfortable and hurt.

I don't understand why they called me in for an interview when you can tell the approximate age by looking at the resume.
I also don't know if it is company policy or if the woman who interviewed me asked my age at her discretion.


Also, in the U.S., many companies do not notify you of rejection if you are not hired, but
this is the only place where the American style is used, and it is unpleasant.

I contacted the Labor Commissioner, but
he advised me to file a claim with the Civil Rights Department.

As for me, I would like to warn this company.
I also want to make sure that people who are considering applying for a job know what kind of company it is before they apply.
I am thinking of posting a message on the bulletin board of the site where the job advertisement was found, but
Is it good manners to first warn the president of the company ？

Is there any good way to do this ？
Has anyone had similar experiences? ？
Any advice?
