Stop Making Your Age 40+ Job Search Fail: Quit "Winging It"​

Stop Making Your Age 40+ Job Search Fail: Quit "Winging It"

Are you "winging it" in your job search ... or do you have a job search plan?

Because when you fail to plan, you plan to fail ... and this is a primary reason age 40+ job seekers struggle in their job search.

A job search plan is more than a list, more than defining the job you want, and more than a follow up calendar. It's step-by-step guidance, leading your search to a specific goal by a specific date.

Without a plan, you randomly apply for jobs, try to speed things up by applying to even more jobs and hope you get lucky. You have no way to tell what's not working that you need to change, because you're "winging it". Instead, you end up doing the same things over and over, hoping for different results.

You probably plan in your job, creating financial plans, strategic plans, marketing plans, sales plans, operational plans, project plans and plans to meet your annual goals.

You plan in your job because it ensures that you successfully meet your goals, and "winging it" isn't enough.

So why are you still "winging it" for your job search?

Probably because:

  • You didn't need it earlier in your career.
  • You didn't need it when there were candidate shortages, but now when 90M candidates compete for 9M advertised jobs there are job shortages for the types of jobs you want.
  • No one has taught you how.

If you're an age 40+ job seeker trying to accelerate or turn around your job search, why not let me show you how to plan your job search for success? While we're at it, I'll also teach you how to beat job search ageism by changing your resume, interview, and job search strategies, to solve the unique problems of age 40+ job seekers.

This is the 3rd job market recession/recovery cycle I've recruited/coached through, so I've seen first hand what resume and job search strategies succeed for job seekers during recovering job markets. I've also seen mistakes candidates make, causing their recovery job searches to fail. I've been through this before and know what works and what doesn't.

That's why numerous job seekers who work with me have already gotten job offers every week since mid-March 2020.

As a top national recruiter who reads hundreds of resumes per day, who has helped hundreds of thousands of candidates in their job search, and seen thousands of employers' job search processes from the inside, I've got a different perspective than most career coaches.

I see that most job seekers do essentially the same things, even when they think they are job searching differently. I see the mistakes that almost every age 40+ job seeker makes that make them lose great opportunities. I also see most job seekers were taught search methods that eliminate them from consideration, because they conflict with the employer's hiring process. You're probably making similar mistakes, without realizing it.

But I've been teaching job seekers to overcome ageism for 14 years by using non-traditional resume/job search strategies that demonstrate impact rather than appearing average. I'll show you how to beat ageism and find a great job during a bad job market by understanding employers' points of view and hiring processes ... and using this understanding to beat your competition.

(I'm not just a career coach. I've also been an active top national recruiter for the last 17 years ... so you'll get advice from an insider's point of view.)

Let me show you what you can do now to change your job search and resume so you can beat ageism during a highly competitive job market, even if you're also between jobs, trying to change careers, industry or location, if your industry is in decline/consolidation, trying to overcome long term career gaps, family leave, find a remote job, turnaround your job search or other tough to solve job search problems.
