You're over the age of 50 and intellectually or intuitively you know your age could be a factor in your job search...and you are right. There are age-related biases that exist in the job market that will work against you. According to government statistics, job seekers over 50 encounter more difficulty in getting new jobs and suffer notably longer unemployment than their younger counterparts. But these statistics do not have to apply to you!

In this must-have toolkit, Brian Howard offers a systematic approach for conducting a job search based on years spent helping job seekers find hidden position openings, ace interviews, and win job offers. These strategic insights include: Using the "psychology of persuasion" throughout your job search, understanding the mind and motivations of an employer, maximizing the use of accomplishments, optimizing your LinkedIn profile and leveraging its algorithm, networking, interviewing, negotiating job offers, and more.
