The Kubera Principle
The Book That Will Change the World
Job hunting or making a career change is tough at any age, but if you’re over 50-or any of the euphemisms we like to use: “seasoned,” “experienced,” “mature”-it’s particularly difficult today. In fact, a recent report from Korn Ferry, the largest executive search firm in the world, claims that Gen X may now be the new “unemployables.”
It’s shocking, but even over 40 can be considered “old” for job seekers. And while it’s unfair, ageism is real, and it’s not going away anytime soon. (check this video out about the hidden ageism older job seekers face https://youtu.be/jHPdaxUTJ5k) Just as we’re facing life changes like wrinkles, menopause, or being empty nesters, we’re being told we’re unemployable.
The rules of the job market have shifted. They’re fluid. But here’s the cool part: being older means we no longer have to play by anyone else’s rules.
For reference, I’m in my fifties, too. Alongside being a five-time bestselling author and founder of Advanced Adulting, a platform that helps midlifers navigate life’s next chapter, I’m a former executive recruiter and headhunter. I spent over 15 years placing executives in high-level roles. I’ve been in the rooms where decisions are made-and it’s not always pretty.
I’m here to share with you the good, the bad, and the ugly truths about what really goes on in the hiring process-and more importantly, how you can take control of your job search. I’ll also share some blunt realities that may challenge what you’ve been told about job hunting at this age.
There’s a lot to cover, so buckle up.
This Is Just the Tip of the Iceberg. What I’ve shared here is just the beginning. If you want to dive deeper into how to overcome ageism and get noticed, I host a 90 min Zoom workshop specifically for older and Gen X job seekers. In the workshop, we tackle the real issues and strategies for getting your foot in the door. Register here WANT TO TAKE THE COURSE THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT? 👇
