How Your Resume Can Brand You As The Top Candidate When You're Age 40+

Are you an age 40+ job seeker, frustrated about job search ageism?

Why not learn how your resume can brand you as the top candidate, no matter your age?

According to a study published by TheLadders, in 6 seconds, your resume's reader makes their first decision to stay on your resume or move to the next. Employers decide to stay on your resume if you clearly show that you're qualified for that exact job, at a minimum.

6 seconds isn't much time ... only enough time to decide based on the first impression your resume makes - your personal brand. In 6 seconds, your reader doesn't have enough time to search to discover if you're qualified. More than 95% of resumes fail this minimum test - so yours probably fails it too, rejecting you from interviews when you really are qualified.

But that's still not enough to win the job when you're over 40 - you need to do more than just the minimum to show employers you're worth the perception of a higher salary. To show employers that you're worth it, you need to brand yourself as the top candidate.

Resumes that brand job seekers as the top candidate create a first impression with these things in common:

1. Crystal clear to the reader
2. Shows reader that you're more than just qualified
3. So short that your reader can internalize it in 6 seconds
