Jeff Dean has a story to tell about being a seasoned professional who found himself in job search through no fault of his own. In this episode, you will hear ways to navigate through the waters of being labeled "over qualified" which is a euphemism for age bias to using your skills and persistence to find a better quality of life.
Take Aways:
- Participate (not just join) job seeker groups
- Networking is key, and more productive than ever before
- Use time wisely and consider volunteering
- Age bias is real, so be prepared to demonstrate your value over younger workers (e.g. loyalty, experience)
