3 Resume Sections That Beat Age Discrimination


Listen Later

This week, Jeff and I are tearing up the "rulebook" to show you how to actually use your degrees and certifications to sell yourself.


The biggest mistake we see isn't about where you went to school, it’s about how you present that information. We dive deep into why you should almost always remove your graduation dates to protect yourself from age discrimination, and how to handle those "in-progress" or unfinished degrees so they still work in your favor.


We’re talking about:

  • The golden rule of resume real estate: top vs. bottom
  • How to list degrees you didn’t actually finish
  • Why your graduation date may be hurting your chances
  • Using “Relevant Coursework” to your advantage
  • The LinkedIn Learning “trap” and how to avoid it
  • When a hobby like hiking or triathlons belongs on a resume
  • How to “double dip” on awards to catch a recruiter’s eye
  • Handling expired certifications the right way


Listen in to help us help you give yourself the best chance of landing your Next Job… NOW :)
