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

It's going to really reframe the dialogue to talk about where you are in your life and how you're really looking to invest in a company that shares your values or has these values or that you're going to find some significant meaning in. voice-verified

So that that can make someone's cover letter stand out from the others. voice-verified

And also keep in mind, your past experience doesn't have to necessarily work against you. voice-verified

You can emphasize that, yes, I've had this fast paced job. voice-verified

It was a high power job. voice-verified

And now, you know, I'm looking to give back. voice-verified

And that also shows that you're looking to do something with meaning. voice-verified

And it also shows where you've been, but where you want to go. voice-verified

Yes, that's right. voice-verified

As some people start entering their 50s, they'll basically start to see their earnings peak. voice-verified

And frankly, that's something that people are going to have to be realistic about and get used to. voice-verified

And the sooner they accept that, it's probably the faster they'll find a job. voice-verified

So keep in mind, if you're going to hold out for the job that pays more than your former job, your previous job, you're probably going to be disappointed. voice-verified

You're going to be unemployed and looking for quite a long time. voice-verified

Older workers should not be afraid to seek out help. voice-verified

And fortunately, there are places they can go for that help. voice-verified

They can go to the American Job Centers, which are funded by the U.S. voice-verified

Department of Labor. voice-verified

They're in every community, and they run local workforce boards. voice-verified

So that's an opportunity. voice-verified
