Biases, salary expectations, expensive health benefits, and younger bosses are all barriers for aging job seekers. But there IS hope!
By 2024, nearly 1 in 4 people in the labor force are projected to be age 55 or over. Recognizing this growth, employers are getting smarter with hiring. Anti-discrimination and age-inclusion policies are starting to take center stage. And innovative companies are assessing the need for real talent.
What does this all mean?
Older workers CAN improve their success in the job market.
Let’s learn how!
Join us for a live discussion with Career Service Professionals & HR Specialists as they share insights around critical questions, including:
Are there actually ‘age-friendly’ companies and jobs out there? How can I find them?
What skills are in demand for the aging candidate? What can I do to ramp up in this virtual world?
How can I make my résumé and digital presence stand out among the competition?
What can I do to impress young recruiters/hiring managers and get them to see my value?
How do I explain that I’m not ‘overqualified’ without seeming desperate?
How can I gain actual bargaining power in the interview process?
While the economic outlook is unstable, there are some things you CANcontrol. Learn how to take ownership of your career and start navigating your way to desired employment!
