It May or May Not Be Your Age.<\/strong><\/h3>\n


If you're an older worker, you have probably applied for a job, and wondered if you were passed over because of your age.<\/strong> While other reasons may be atr play, you are justified in wondering. Age discrimination is definitely a concern. While you can't stop employers from considering your age, there are other factors well within your control.\u2028.<\/p>\n


10+ Things Older Workers Can Do to Keep Themselves in the Running<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. Remove graduation or attendance dates from your educational information.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. If you've had more than one job in the last ten years, just list the last ten years of employment.<\/strong> If you have to go back further to show you've had more relevant experiences, do so. If older jobs are not relevant, \"demote\" them - just list the basics: title, dates, employer, and location - under an \"additional experience\" heading.<\/p>\n

3. If your skills are dated, take an online course or two.<\/strong> If you have LinkedIn Premium, you can take any LinkedIn Learning course for free, and when it's completed, add it to your profile. Then you can add a \"Continuing Education\" section to show you are doing your best to stay informed about current tools and practices. It's not the same thing as getting a new degree or industry credential, but it shows you're an active learner and trying to stay current with your skills.<\/p>\n

4. If you do creative work but don't have an online portfolio, create one.<\/strong> Behance is a great site that makes it easy. Or you can create your own website and feature some of your best work there.\u00a0https:\/\/www.behance.net\/<\/a><\/p>\n

5. Update both your resume and your LinkedIn profile.<\/strong> Make sure to align content across both to convey your top experience, skills, and achievements.<\/p>\n

6. Use a modern resume format. Key areas include:<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0a.) A target job headline.<\/strong> (Switch out to match the exact title each time). Applicant Tracking Systems will score you higher if the exact job title appears at least once in your resume. Recruiters and hiring managers will see that you have made some effort to customize your documents for a specific vacancy.If you are uncomfortable having a title that might imply you have more seniority or experience, or that a reader might think you are exaggerating, just add \"Candidate for [job title] as the headline. It's clear and factually correct.<\/p>\n

b.) Have a Professional Summary after the headline.<\/strong> It should be no more than 5 lines, and should give a an overview of who you are (professionally - title, place in organization, number of years experience, what you are best at (top skills -make sure they related to the target job), and what impact you've had on your company\/customers\/etc. or that an employer can expect you to have if they hire you.<\/p>\n

c.) Have a skills list. <\/strong>Don't use columns - you will get more keywords in if you list them in series, with bar separators (the | character). I make my skills lists 9 points, because it makes longer lists seem more reasonable\/less overwhelming. Review the job posting for the top skills needed and make sure they are in your skills section. If you don't have a skill, don't lie. Just think of a similar skill you have that might imply your ability to learn the new skill.<\/p>\n

d.) In the jobs section, list your job title first, not the company.<\/strong> What you did is more important than where you did it. Put them in bold so they stand out.<\/p>\n

e.) Use bullets with each job,<\/strong> and whenever possible, convey the same ideas as in the summary (what role you played, skills you used, what you accomplished) or use the P-A-R (Problem- Action(s) taken-Results formula to explain what you accomplished and what skills you used.<\/p>\n

7. Network with anyone who can tell you what a target job requires, or who can give you context about the company culture and how to present your best argument.<\/strong> People closest to you aren't necessarily the best advocates. They like you and just want you to be happy and have a job. A second-level contact can provide you with objective feedback about the company, its culture, and what hiring managers might prioritize in hiring for the job. They would also want to vet you before referring you for a job. Nobody wants to be the person who sends unqualified people to HR.<\/p>\n

8. Learn to use LinkedIn for job searching and networking.<\/strong> Optimize your profile by having a well-written \"About\" section. Start with the ideas in your professional summary. You can make this feel more personal by writing in the first person. Add as many relevant skills as you can. They give you up to 100 skills. A newer feature allows you to click on each skill and connect it to all the jobs\/education\/volunteer experiences where you used a skill. Do this for every skill. It helps the search algorithm, and you will show up in more relevant searches by employers or people wanting to connect with you. Also, since it's a newer feature, most people don't realize they can do this, so you will be ahead of those folks.<\/p>\n

9. Use LinkedIn regularly.<\/strong> Post something once a week if you can. Sharing photos or videos helps because people engage with them, and they rank higher in search results. I realize that many people think LinkedIn is a waste of time, and it can be. But it is actually three things: a search engine (where employers are searching for people like you); a tool (only as good as you use it), and a map between where you are now in your career and where you want to go (and the most important waypoints in between are people who can help you). As an older worker, you have to show you understand how people connect using LinkedIn. It's a basic skill for younger workers. You need to level the playing field by understanding the game. It will also put you ahead of competitors in your age range, because they don't know how to use it.<\/p>\n

10. Give yourself permission to look for an \"ideal\" job.<\/strong> Also, acknowledge that it is a fictional job. Just make a list of your \"must-haves,\" and \"can't-haves,\" the skills you want to use, and the kind of company or work environment you want to work in. Then allow yourself to prioritize finding a job with as many of those \"must-haves\" as possible, where you will be able to use your top skills.<\/p>\n

Focus on making targeted arguments that convey not only your skills, but also your accomplishments and motivation. As much as you can, include statements in your cover letter and resume that convey your motivation, coachability, willingness to learn, and your \"fit.\"<\/p>\n

The average resume doesn't convey these ideas enough (or at all). Most resumes lean toward explaining qualifications. Those are the basics that employers SCREEN<\/strong> They HIRE<\/strong> people who show they are skilled, accomplished, motivated to do the job, willing to learn, coachable, and will \"fit.\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Often, the \"most qualified\" candidate isn't the one hired. Why? Because the employer thinks they won't stay, will find the job boring or beneath them, aren't willing to learn or accept feedback, or that they will disrupt their department or team. If they can see your potential, your motivation, and your willingness to learn, it helps them imagine how you would fit in and contribute. This is especially important for older workers. If they think you're an \"old dog who can't learn new tricks\" or possibly a feral and angry lone wolf, they won't hire you.<\/p>\n

One last thing: if your circumstances require income that you don't have, get a throw-away job so you can pay the bills while you look.<\/strong> Don't overcommit to this job. Do a good job, put in your hours, and go home. Then try to be polite and give notice when you get a better job, if you can. Sometimes, a throwaway job keeps you busy and interacting with other people, rather than dwelling on the job search and feeling anxious. I worked as a cashier at Lowe's for five months a few years back while I was looking for new options. The pay wasn't good, the hours varied, but the people were nice, and getting out gave me the better mindset I needed at the time to find the next thing.<\/p>\n

I know this is a lot. Good luck in your job search!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
