Are you a mature job seeker?

[To comment: larry@larrylitwin.com]

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.
