How Many Age 40+ Job Search Fails Are On Your Resume?

Age 40+ job seekers get a lot of bad advice, that causes their job search to fail.

How many of these age 40+ job search fails are on your resume?

• Describing Yourself As A Generalist:?When you try to describe yourself as a generalist, you describe yourself as all things to all people. It doesn't work well in a job market where employers search for specific experience, even for generalist jobs (determining in interviews if you can apply your talents to different problems).
• Focusing On Your Qualifications:?When you focus readers on your qualifications, you look like every other qualified candidate - average. When you're over 40 or looking for a high level position, you give employers the perception that you expect higher compensation. And why would an employer want to hire a higher priced candidate who looks just average?
• Excluding Information:?Most age 40+ candidates have been advised to exclude information on their resume that hints at their age. But it's easily discovered when you exclude information, making an employer ask "What are you hiding - age or something worse?" Worse, when you try to give employers the perception that you're younger than you really are, what will they think when you meet them face-to-face (or video). They'll think you tried to deceive them to get an interview ... making it impossible to build trust.

Want to learn about more ways your age 40+ job search is failing and how to fix it? I'll teach you how to beat job search ageism, so you can find a great job fast.

Good thing there are more effective ways to beat ageism than trying to fake your age or exclude early career. The best way to make employers realize that age doesn't matter is by proving to hiring managers your age doesn't matter - You've performed at higher levels than your competitors regardless of your age.

If you're an age 40+ job seeker trying to accelerate or turn around your job search, why not let me show you specialized solutions for age 40+ candidates? I'll teach you how to beat job search ageism showing you what to change in your resume, interview, and job search strategies to solve the unique problems of age 40+ job seekers.

This is the 3rd recession and recovery I've recruited/coached through, so I've seen first hand what resume and job search strategies succeed for job seekers during the toughest job markets. I've also seen mistakes candidates make, causing their job searches to fail. I've been through this before and know what works and what doesn't.

As a top national recruiter who reads hundreds of resumes per day, who has helped hundreds of thousands of candidates in their job search, and seen thousands of employers' job search processes from the inside, I've got a different perspective than most career coaches.

I see that most job seekers do essentially the same things, even when they think they are job searching differently. I also see most job seekers were taught search methods that eliminate them from consideration, because they conflict with the employer's hiring process. You're probably making similar mistakes, without realizing it.

But I've been teaching job seekers to beat Applicant Tracking Systems for 14 years by using non-traditional resume/job search strategies that demonstrate impact rather than appearing average. I'll show you how to beat the ATS and find a great job fast by understanding employers' point of view and hiring processes ... and using this understanding to beat your competition.

(I'm not just a career coach. I've also been a top national recruiter for the last 17 years ... so you'll get advice from an insider's point of view.)

Let me show you what you can do now to change your job search and resume so you can beat the ATS and find your next job fast during a highly competitive job market, even if you're between jobs, over 40, trying to change careers/industry/location, if your industry is in decline/consolidation, trying to overcome long term career gaps, family leave, find a remote job, turnaround your job search or other tough to solve job search problems.
