CareerBuilder’s Deanna Hartley offers these suggestions to help mature job seeker’s communicate their value. I add, younger job seekers should follow many of the same suggestions:
- Know the current lingo and latest trends.
- Provide examples of the value you would add to the team.
- Prove that you can be a leader (see next week’s blog on leadership)
- Find out how age is perceived in your industry.
- Outline your unique value proposition.
