Must be ‘fit and active’ or ‘digital native’: how ageist language keeps older workers out

By Peter Newfield | April 21, 2023 |

by Guest Author, Chris Farrell The research confirms widespread age bias among employers Ageism is wrong. Age discrimination is illegal.

Denise,
Great Job, though I’m not surprised. Worth the wait and all the suffering with this small CPA who’s abused me all through tax season. Might even have to take him to the Dept. of labor for the 90+ hours of o/t he owes me. Your thoroughness should free me from such undeserved pettiness. Will need to go over a few minor details. Don’t expect any big change. What impressed me the most was how you put together such a fine package and without even mentioning my best skill. I think I must have mentioned ProSystem fx for Windows a few times, the tax software package I feel I’ve spent my life on. To my credit I guess that I get a full 2 page resume as good as I’ve seen in the resume books at Barnes and Nobles and without my best software skill program on it. As to the cover letter, I have one but I’ll look it over. What I’m more in need of is coaching through the job search, interview process, negotiating, sending out the resume on line and where to send. I have an extensive list of contacts I’ve been saving, but this resume is so good I need to consider how I market it and to whom I market it.

I am very appreciative of what a great job you did of cramming some many different experiences I had into 2 pages! My wife just LOVED the moving…
I did note some things for you to consider. I’ve atttached a draft with comments.
