Age Bias

Overcoming age bias

Age bias is an unfortunate reality for some job seekers - some employers use age as one way to quickly screen out candidates.

Your best bet for overcoming this is through research and a good resume. Research the employer - if you go into an interview with detailed research showing you understand the business, the challenges it faces, and what problems need solving, interviewers will tend to look past your age and focus on your ideas. Use a resume service to create a resume that emphasises your acheivements (so as to demonstrate the results you can bring an employer).
