If you're a job seeker who is concerned about the potential impact of age discrimination, how should you handle this?



Trim off all but the last 10-15 years of experience on your resume

Dye your hair, excerise regularly, and dress more fashion-forward to pass as "younger" in the interview process

Seek out companies that have demonstrated a proven track record of hiring (and valuing the experience of) older workers

Try all of the above steps -- and any others that might help camoflouge the age issue, at least initially

Just be yourself, don't apologize for your age, and assume the right employer will recognize your value and hire you
