Tackling Ageism: How to Get Hired in Mid-Life and Beyond


Listen Later

The US workforce is getting older. Last year, almost 20% of Americans ages 65 and older were employed – that’s nearly double the rate it was in the 1980s. For some older workers, they want to keep working past retirement age; for others, it’s not a choice. So how should older people position themselves in the labor market to overcome age bias?

In the second installment of our ageism series, LinkedIn News Editor Andrew Seaman is talking to Janine Vanderburg, founder and former director of Changing the Narrative, a nationwide campaign and nonprofit dedicated to reframing the way we think, and talk, about age and aging. They dive into the do’s and don'ts for getting hired as an older worker.

Whether you're actively seeking employment or looking to maintain your current position, this episode offers practical advice and strategies for older workers to position themselves effectively in the job market and overcome age bias during the hiring process and in their day-to-day work environment.
