We all know that ageism is inevitable, and we can see its traces in every aspect of daily life. Even great companies have their discriminatory practices. Therefore, it can be challenging for seniors to apply for a job. However, some tips listed below help you to beat ageism and get hired.

1. It does not matter how old you are.
Since employers first see a paper and not yourself, the resume and the writing ability play an important role here. Unfortunately, many people don’t bother themselves to write a proper resume. So, it will be impressive to present a perfect CV.

2. It is vital to fill your resume with updated and modern skills.
So, make sure to drop outdated frameworks from it. It is better to add the relevant technology mentioned in the job description.

3. Highlight the proficiency, not the age!
Put more emphasis on the gained experience through all these years. The more they feel you are familiar with modern technology, the higher your chance.

4. Keep pace with the latest technological developments.
They don’t expect you to be familiar with every modern application. However, it’s essential to show you are not from the Mesozoic era!

5. At the end of the resume, add your social media accounts.
It shows that you are ok and familiar with the technology. Plus, make sure to know how to work with the industry’s software and needed apps. Check http://coursera.org/ for the available online courses; it helps you a lot.

6. Before sending the resume, check the company and employer’s history.
Some companies and startups don’t accept employers over 40, and some may have bad attitudes toward seniors. Kununu is an online site where you can read the reviews and see the ranks of different employers based on various aspects. In the end, pay attention to the age range of employees when you go for the interview.
