I’m Not Letting Ageism Define My Future and You Shouldn’t Either

About this session

In my 40+ years in corporate America I became very familiar with ageism in the workplace. I will discuss why we must never let ageism dictate the future for us. I will share different tools and approaches to deal with this discriminatory practice so you can take your power back and move forward.

You will walk away from this chat with:

  • An understanding of how to present yourself when applying for a new job
  • Gain the confidence to stop letting your experience feel like a factor that takes you out of the job search
  • Strategies for approaching the interview process and hiring managers
