Today, we have an episode about not settling as an older job seeker. I brought on Dave Watts who specializes in job strategies for older workers to find meaningful employment. He is the host of the Redundancy Podcast, which has a solid listener base all over the world. He’s helped many people find work as older job seekers, and I could not have picked a better person to come on the show and do this.

Here's what we cover:

SETTING THE CONTEXT:

Why is it so hard to get a job as you age?
What’s the biggest mistake that older job seekers are making with their job search?

THE HEART

Dealing with discrimination as an older job seeker - what are some ways around this?
Let’s talk about some best practice job strategies for older job seekers. How are you finding folks can best get the job they actually want (i.e. not settling)?
The “I’ve done all I can do to get a good job” mindset. How can people get on from this?
