SEASONED JOB SEEKERS: FINDING WORK AFTER 50
Unemployment is not easy for anyone, regardless of their age. But unemployed men and women older than 50 may find it especially difficult to find work. Whether it is a byproduct of age- related discrimination or any of a host of additional variables, older job seekers often struggle to find work.
In a 2016 analysis of government figures, the Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis at the New School estimated that the jobless rate for workers 55 and older in August of 2016, six years after the Great Recession, was nearly 9 percent. At the time, the national jobless rate hovered around 5 percent.
Unemployed older adults who are struggling to find work can consider the following strategies as they look to rejoin the workforce.
REVISIT YOUR RESUME
Unemployed men and women over 50 have no doubt updated their resumes
to reflect their most recent professional experience. But they may need to trim some of the “fat” in regard to their work experiences that took place 10 or more years ago. Today’s hiring managers may only be concerned with recent experience that illustrates skillsets that are relevant to today’s jobs. Men and women older than 50 may consider their experience from 20 years ago to be valuable, but if that experience does not meet the specific needs of the jobs they are now seeking, they should remove it from their resumes so hiring managers can quickly access the more relevant information from applicants’ work histories.
TURN AGE INTO A POSITIVE
Men and women over 50 should accept the likelihood that their new managers and/or hiring managers will be younger than them. When interviewing for a job, older adults
should make an effort to showcase their enthusiasm about working with and learning from younger colleagues, while also noting their desire to commit long-term to a company. Some hiring managers may surprise older applicants, viewing them as potentially more reliable than younger workers, who may simply be looking to gain some experience in a particular industry before moving on to the next opportunity.
EMBRACE CONTEMPORARY JOB-HUNTING PRACTICES
Finding a job in the second decade of the 21st century is unlike job hunting in decades prior — and wholly different from the way men and women over 50 looked for jobs upon beginning their professional lives. Networking can mean the difference between unemployment and landing a job. Go to job fairs attended by hiring managers, and join professional
