Strategies for the Over-40

JobMob, an Israeli blog for candidates, has put together an impressive list of 40 job-hunting tips (with links) for people over 40. Among them:

Midlife job seekers need a resume that looks forward, not backward. (No. 2)

Resist being put off by younger-sounding ads that use terms like fast-paced and multi-tasking. Growing a family requires tremendous multi-tasking skills, so know that you can compete with anyone. (No. 6)

Be sure to specify any recent professional training courses you attended in order to demonstrate your willingness and ability to stay up-to-date. (No. 24)

Don’t try to act young in your eyes, you will just look old in their eyes. Always be yourself- it has gotten you this far already. (No. 40)
