What Is Ageism And How Can I Avoid It? Essential Tips For A Good Resume Format

What is ageism in the hiring process? How can a good resume format eliminate ageism? These are two questions that I want to answer in this video.

A lot of people with 20 or more years of experience worry about that experience being a handicap. They worry that employers will see their seniority and pass them over because they’re too “old.” This is essentially ageism – the bias against prospective employees based on their age.

Here’s the thing: you’re never going to be able to fully control how others perceive you. However, I do notice that often people who worry about ageism are setting themselves up for failure by emphasizing their seniority on their resume.

So, what is ageism? Well, sometimes it’s discrimination in the hiring process. But other times it’s simply a resume with a poorly designed layout. Here are some tips to help you create a good resume format and avoid being judged based solely on age.

The first thing you should keep in mind is to avoid leading with your age or years of experience. Instead, lead with the achievements that are relevant to the job you’re seeking.

Second, please don’t use the word “seasoned.” The connotation is that you’ve been around a long time and thus it draws attention to your age.

Third, don’t go back more than 15-20 years when writing about your past experiences. If you do feel the need to go that far back, make sure that the older experiences don’t take up more space than the most recent ones.

If you’re wondering, “what is ageism?” maybe you should start asking yourself, “what can I do to avoid looking dated?”

The answer: come up with a good resume format that highlights your relevant achievements rather than your years of experience.
