OVER 50 AND CAN’T GET A JOB? WATCH THIS! (How to Get Hired After 50!)
Are you over 50 and struggling to find a job? Are you applying for jobs but not getting interviews? Or perhaps you’re attending job interviews but keep getting rejected?

In this video, recruitment expert Richard McMunn from CareerVidz reveals 2 reasons why people over 50 struggle to get hired, plus 2 powerful job application tips to help you overcome age-related stereotypes, improve your CV or resume, pass your job interview and get hired!

Whether you’re looking for a job at 50, 55, 60 or older, these practical job search tips will help you stand out to employers.

WHY IS IT HARD TO GET A JOB AFTER 50?
Some employers make unfair assumptions about older workers. Two common misconceptions are:

**1. People over 50 are resistant to change.**
Some hiring managers wrongly assume older candidates are set in their ways, unwilling to learn new skills or reluctant to take instructions from younger managers.

**2. People over 50 are more likely to take time off sick.**
Some employers incorrectly assume older workers will have more health problems or higher sickness absence.

These stereotypes do not reflect the abilities of individual candidates. However, knowing how to challenge them can help you present yourself more effectively.

2 WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR CHANCES OF GETTING HIRED AFTER 50
**TIP 1 – Improve your CV or resume personal statement.**

Your CV should highlight your experience, reliability, adaptability, teamwork and willingness to learn.

Example CV personal statement:
“A highly motivated, reliable and adaptable professional with extensive experience in my industry. I bring valuable knowledge, a strong work ethic and a positive, team-focused attitude. I respond positively to feedback, embrace change, support colleagues and continually develop my skills.”

**TIP 2 – Give a powerful answer to WHY SHOULD WE HIRE YOU?**
When answering this common interview question, explain how your experience benefits the employer while demonstrating your willingness to learn, accept feedback and embrace new ways of working.
