EP 8 Secrets to Optimize Your Resume and Prevent Age Discrimination Don't Be Caged By Your Age
-
- Society & Culture
In this episode you'll learn how to optimize career opportunities after 60 with resume tips and hacks that beat the ATS systems and prevent age discrimination.
From a diverse career spanning coding to interior design, HR management, and gaming for decades as the "Elder Goddess," Sandra Allison smashes every age-related stereotype.
At 71, Sandra has a booming resume writing business, a result from being fired at 58 and running headfirst into ageism.
Sandra quickly realized her resume was defeating her efforts at finding a job, so she dove into the world of resume writing, took training courses, earned certificates, and launched her resume services business.
Today she helps folks 40+ beat the ATS systems so they can avoid age discrimination and get the job opportunities they deserve.
Her services include resumes for Board Candidates, C-Suite and Rising Executives, and an Á La Carte Menu for a variety of roles!
Throughout our conversation you’ll learn invaluable tips from Sandra on navigating modern job markets, crafting a resume that stands out, combatting ageism, and how to optimize career opportunities against biases.
You’ll love hearing Sandra's passion for gaming, and how it defies generational gaps, adding a unique twist to perception versus reality.
And I’m still howling over her rebellious spirit story when, at the age of 6, she led a dozen neighborhood kids around Center City, Harrisburg on their tricycles.
Thank you for tuning in and remember, thriving after 65 isn't just a tagline - it's a movement, and it starts right here, right now, on the Don't Be Caged By Your Age podcast.
We’d love to hear your thoughts, so be sure to hop on over to Don’t Be Caged By Your Age on LinkedIn or Instagram.
Listeners, please remember – you have so much to give – don’t let those internalized ageist beliefs prevent you from pursuing new dreams and opportunities – no matter your age.
Tune in and let's crush ageism together!
Waving from Boston – cheers!
