Age Bias

Age bias in
#hiring
is an obstacle many senior professionals face, but few openly discuss.
It’s complex to broach
#ageism. A 90-second video won’t solve it for good, but it could help you tackle it effectively.
Mind you: if you ever sense assumptions being made about your adaptability, energy, or relevance, walking away is sometimes the right decision. Dodge the bullet kind of situation.
When you choose to stay in the process, preparation matters.
Here I share four areas where experienced professionals can proactively shape perception and strengthen their position during a
#jobsearch.
I hope this is of practical value. Have a great rest of the week.

This week, allow me to open up and share the details of “my first time" In brief (!), I found it strange, uncomfortable and ultimately unsatisfactory. I think the person doing it with me won’t be too happy either, once they hear my feedback Maybe it will get better with more practice / when the tech evolves? #ai #interview #candidates #jobsearch #recruiting #hiring

Hopefully, my video last week was super clear about the need to establish a “new normal” for job hunting. More often than not, it will be too late when you get to see a job posting. So please do more, better, and sooner. Here is how I suggest you go about it, in actual practice. #jobsearch #claude #cowork #ai #tech #recruitment #careers #signals

โฐ Every job ad you've ever applied to was already late. The decision to hire was made weeks, perhaps months, before the post went live. ๐๐ผ Marketers have been using buying/selling signals for a long while now. There's no reason job seekers can't build a similar system to get to that job first. #jobads #jobsearch #hiringsignals #careers Extend Consulting

๐คท๐ปโ๏ธ Sending out applications and hearing nothing back? You might be playing "blindfold darts" ๐ฏ The algorithm doesn't know you. Job ads are often written to a role ideal. And yet most job seekers keep firing off applications hoping something sticks. There's a smarter way. Watch This ๐

This year we have been refining the way to attend the demands of our clients and ensure we elevate our candidates and contractors care. Sustained results will show us if we are focusing on the right areas. As we looked for an "edge", a "reset"; the insights from the people we depend on and we trust as a business, told us in unequivocal terms to concentrate in a few fundamentals to underpin any changes. This is what they shared with us. I reckon this will be useful for you too, whether you are in #jobsearch or #hiring mode.
