In addition to the general job search strategies we recommend, the best thing you can do as an older worker is develop a strategy to counteract the myths some employers hold regarding the “cons” of hiring mature workers, and promote the “pros” of hiring you! 

  • Get, or stay, up to date in your field and with office technology. 
  • Present your best self and focus on your strengths and abilities. 
  • Be prepared to proactively address concerns employers might have about your plan to continue working or commitment to their organization.

Also, review the mature workers section of the Career Center website as well as our on-demand tutorial Job Search for the Mature Worker: Leveraging your Experience!
