When age 40+ job seekers fail to get interviews and they're qualified, it's easy to blame job search ageism.
After all, some employers and hiring managers are biased about candidate age.
But there's also a good chance that it's something other than ageism that's holding you back ... something that you can control.
I'm not just a career coach, but I'm an active recruiter, so I review hundreds of resumes each day ... and I can see why most resumes stay buried in ATSs, even from qualified candidates.
Even if you're being discriminated against because you're over 40, you also lose opportunities because there are common mistakes on your resume that keep you buried. These mistakes are also commonly made by outplacement, most career coaches/authors, certified professional resume writers, high volume "resume mills", and job board resume services, given as advice by most of the people you've sought help from, so you're probably making these mistakes too.

But it's easy to blame ageism, even when it's something you can control.??And there are many more mistakes that age 40+ job seekers blame on ageism, but are things you can control. You also have the opportunity to use strategies that help you reduce job search ageism, by changing how you present your resume information.
So if you're not getting enough interviews, even if you're convinced its ageism, let me show you how to get through ATSs, get more interviews, and beat ageism during 2024's competitive job market.
