A rather youthful interviewer held the microphone to several experienced career coaches and repeatedly suggested that older workers were technologically unsavvy. As well, she implied that boomers inexperience with computers, the Internet and social media harmed their job search efforts.The career experts naturally and calmly debunked this assertion, affirming that technology and social media aptitude was NOT an issue for most boomer workers and job seekers. The interviewees even attempted to steer the conversation to the real issues faced by mature job seekers.However, the interviewer was undeterred and determined to move her agenda along. She continued to assert her idea, inserting interrogatives that implied older job seekers, in fact, were behind the curve with technology, and didnt the interviewees agree? [They repeatedly disagreed and calmly (but unsuccessfully) attemp ted to guide the interview elsewhere.]I was a bit disappointed, but not all that surprised at the slant on this article, so I decided to make lemonade from the letdown lemons. The blog response articulates five characteristics that age and experience give you. To read my post, please visit: How Age Experience Can Help You Land a Job.  I hope you enjoy.
