Job seekers over 40 and 50 often face interviews with younger managers and often feel the need to address several issues related to their age. This video from AARP provides some excellent advice on how to address those issues.

Great tips on the video – I think job seekers over 50 often forget the wealth of experience they have when looking for new jobs. Rather than leverage their expertise, many down-size their expectations. To that end, I would suggest joining an expert network. Expert networks connect experience professionals with investors, companies and individuals interested in entering or a new market or investing in a new product or service. Engagements generally last 30 to 60 minutes, pay well, and offer great networking opportunities that sometimes lead to extended due diligence engagements or even full-time employment. theexpertnetworks.com has more than 30 networks to chose from and best of all, membership to all of them is free.
