We can see the traces of ageism in the IT industry more often, as people believe that seniors can’t keep pace with technology and modern things. Therefore, it may be challenging to apply for an IT position! Some companies don’t accept people above 35! However, it’s possible. A perfect and modern CV can help you a lot. Considering the tips below may increase the chance of acceptance.
1. Fill the resume with updated and modern skills
2. Drop outdated frameworks from the resume
3. It is better to add the relevant technology which the company requires
