WSJ Your Money Briefing · How Older Workers Can Combat Ageism While Job Hunting · 14 Oct 2021 podcast

Also, about a quarter of the workforce is age 55 and older. voice-verified

And they've actually been increasing. voice-verified

That's been an increasing share of the workforce. voice-verified

And they're not only increasing, but they're staying in the workforce much longer than in the past. voice-verified

Exactly. voice-verified

And some of the things that they should sort of emphasize is, one, that they're up to date with their field, whatever field they're in. voice-verified

They just want to make sure that they know, you know, the latest jargon or they're up with the latest sort of buzzwords in the industry. voice-verified

So it's just important to sort of keep that fresh energy going as you're talking about what you can bring to the table. voice-verified

Another thing that might be good is to just mention networks that you have, whether it's contacts or professional networks. voice-verified

It also helps us to mention voice-verified

in your cover letter or your interview that you know somebody who works at that company or someone on the board. voice-verified

So those things can also help just besides talking about your experience. voice-verified

And you can also just talk about in terms of what you can do, just making sure that you're talking about the future, like what you can do and what you bring to the table. voice-verified

One of the ways is to make it really personal and specific. voice-verified

And for instance, you can talk about sort of how you're looking for something more meaningful. voice-verified

You're looking for a job where you can be meaningful or that would be meaningful to you. voice-verified

And you want to be... voice-verified

specific as you can about it and pointing out the ways that it would be meaningful to you, meaningful, fulfilling, meaningful in terms of just what it sort of signifies or how it's going to help something or another. voice-verified

Employers might be more receptive if you're sort of voice-verified

talking about what you want to do, why you want to be there, and how it will allow you to sort of really make some difference or make a contribution, that's going to stand out because it's going to look more than just, oh, you know, I need this job. voice-verified
