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.

In this video, I share my personal mantra that contributed to me being promoted six times, and continually motivates me to grow my business.

You will see how this mantra helped me land 6 promotions combined (both promotions with my employer and higher-level jobs at new employers).

This tactic makes getting promoted almost flawless (I say almost because nothing in life is perfect, right?).

But I swear by it and I want to share it with you.

Let me know what you think by commenting on the video.

Recruiters initially read resumes in 6-15 seconds, depending on which study you read.

In today’s YouTube video, I answer the question, “What do recruiters look at first on your resume?”

I outline the 4 initial areas recruiters look at first in that 6-15 second time period.

You may think it’s impossible to assess all of the information I outline in the video in this short of a period of time.

I was a recruiter for 13 years. I will tell you when you get good at reading resumes (after reading hundreds a day for years), you can assess if someone should get a interview call or not, or whether to keep reading the resume or not, in this short time frame.

So in this short video, you will learn:

**The most common resume mistake job seekers make that stops most recruiters from reading further and puts your resume in the “don’t call” pile.

**Why functional resume formats don’t work and why recruiters hate them.

**How recruiters determine if you are good at your job — just by reading a document.

**What recruiters are looking for in the education section of your resume.
