I don't know if these tips help that much. My dad is an older electrical engineer, with experience with embedded systems, telecommunications networks, Unix, and R, Python, and Data Science. He regularly has great phone interviews only to hear after the in person interview "We are moving forward with a different candidate."<p>My dad however is nearly bald with grey hair and his skin is a little worse for the wear.<p>I am very sad to seem him like this and wish I could do something for him. The only thing I can think of though is to tell him to look for remote roles so that they don't see what he actually looks like and won't discriminate against him.
Some good, constructive advice in here amongst some of the usual pablum. Reframing is clever: "We're looking for younger minds." "Well, what you're actually looking for is innovative thinking and here's XYZ that I can bring."
> more people under 45 were exhausted (43%) than those over 45 (35%), with the least exhausted group being those over 60.<p>Welp, they aren’t making the greatest case against ageism here, are they.
