hey everybody Don Georgevich here do
you feel that your age is holding you
back from landing a job I hear from
people who are 50 55 60 70 years old all
the time they write into me and they
like Don it's being six feet holding me
back from getting a job employers don't
seem interested in me and I'm not
getting any job offers is it because my
age am I too old
am I too old to work these are all the
questions that go through anyone's mind
who's over 55 all the time am I too old
to work nobody's interested in me nobody
calls me is my age holding me back
well I'm here to tell ya no it's not and
we tell you why you see if you see your
age as a problem then so will your
interviewer this is so this is a mindset
now I want to tell you I just helped a
woman who is 67 years old land a
management position making a hundred and
twenty five thousand dollars I didn't do
it for she did it I just helped her
overcome her confidence or her
insecurity is about her age and told her
that don't be insecure about your age
you're 67 so what you have a lot of
value to offer lead with your value not
with your age lead with your experience
forget about your age there's nothing
you can do about your age I mean you're
50 or 60 70 whatever you are there's
nothing you can do about it what you
want to do is leave with your many years
of experience that's the key lead with
your many years of stable and proven
experience that's how you do it
you want to you want to show them that
you know how to get things done and that
you are a solution to their problems
that's the key if you look at your age
as a drawback then so we are interviewer
if you see yourself inside
someone who is not capable of doing this
job because of your age it's just gonna
shine right through and your interviewer
is just going to agree with you and you
won't get the job it's more of a mindset
thing than anything you need to be
positive you need to use what you have
and forget about what you don't have you
have age and experience you don't have
youth and inexperience so use what you
have forget about what you don't have
because there's nothing you can do about
it now
you're not 35 anymore so don't think
that you have to be to get hired for a
job don't worry about all those 20 and
30 year olds they don't have the
experience that you have you have years
of stable proven experience they just
graduated through college they don't
have the depth of experience that you
have if you think in your mind that you
need youth to get a job your mind is
going to work against you and it's going
to convince you and it's going to
subconsciously prohibit you from getting
a job because you've just created a
pattern in your mind that the only way
you can get hired is if your youthful
and we know that we're not youthful so
no one will want to hire us you have to
get rid of that type of faulty logic
because that's going to be the end of
your career I mean if you think about it
you have twenty or thirty years of
proven stable experience which is way
more than other people half your age so
you know how to get things done you're
motivated you're disciplined you're
focused you're not in that younger time
in your life where you're distracted by
family obligations I mean by now you
know your kids have gone to college if
you had kids and so you have more time
to focus and dedicate on your career
where someone in their 30s if they just
got married they had kids they have all
these distractions at home which are
going to prevent them from immersing
themselves in a new position where is
you you can totally immerse yourself and
you have the time and the discipline to
do it much more than someone half your
age
so forget about all that stuff that you
don't have
focus on what you do have and use it to
your advantage
