The Truth About Ageism

Job seekers over 50 often cite age discrimination as a significant barrier to employment. While ageism is real and documented—two out of three workers aged 45+ report seeing or experiencing it—sometimes the biggest obstacle isn’t just the perceptions of employers but also the mindset and approach of the job seeker themselves.

Join Katherine Burik, acclaimed Career Coach and Founder of The Interview Doctor, as she tackles the complex realities of ageism in the hiring process. Katherine will empower you to recognize the genuine challenges posed by age bias while reflecting on habits and attitudes that may unintentionally hold you back. With her signature blend of expertise and actionable advice, Katherine will provide insights to help you take control of your job search.

Key Takeaways:

  • The truth about ageism: Understanding real barriers versus myths.
  • How to craft a professional image online and offline that combats stereotypes.
  • Practical strategies to improve your first impression—both in person and virtually.
  • How to shift your mindset and approach to exude energy, adaptability, and enthusiasm.
  • Tips to align your vast experience with employer needs and expectations.

Don’t let ageism—or self-doubt—stand in the way of your next opportunity. Learn how to overcome challenges with confidence and elevate your job search strategy.
