Description

Experience is usually a plus when looking for a job, but if you’re a more “seasoned” worker, subtle biases could stand in the way of landing the position you want. It’s called ageism: the belief that older employees aren’t as adaptable or desirable. But there are simple ways to position yourself so a hiring manager can see past the dates on your resume and instead see the skills you’ll bring to the job. At the WSJ Jobs Summit, Tess Vigeland spoke to Ginny Cheng, a career coach and Global Head of Talent at the wearable tech company Oura, about navigating the hiring process when you have a lot of experience and are rethinking your professional narrative. Plus, she answers audience questions on how to thrive in a multigenerational workforce.
