Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Ageism in the workplace is a harsh reality, and Farah Sharghi, a former Google recruiter, is shedding light on why older workers often face barriers to employment, and how we can address this systemic issue. This is a problem in a western society where older workers abound, but find difficult to find new jobs due to bias, or misconceptions about adaptability and cost concerns. This is very common now. How to handle these biases and misconceptions if you are an older worker? Well, first of all, brand yourself, show your experience and how it is what any company would take the opportunity of getting your experience and valuable kills like mentorship, confidence, and so on. This takes strategy, prepare your job interviews addressing biases, tackling them before the other side does it, and build a new frame positioning yourself as a problem solver, not overqualified but a proactive person capable of helping other members, ready to always update skills and embrace technology. And if you are a recruiter, start to rethink your own biases and see how we value experience beyond other concerns. What do you think?
