“Too late for me” – If you’re having this thought, do yourself a favor and strike it out right away! That attitude kills every bit of astounding potential you have at your disposal from decades of experience and refined knowledge.
One can’t stress enough the fact that true success in all its glory is perfectly limitless. Age has no role in determining or validating the ambitions, plans, ideas, and determination of an individual. If you’re over 50 and strongly intend to revamp your professional course or start over a career in a new company, go for it! Of course, it can be challenging, but what in the corporate world isn’t? But, most importantly, remember that nothing in the corporate world is impossible.
All you have to do is start looking for a job that you might thoroughly enjoy for the next few years. You do not have to settle. It is always better to start searching for a new job while you are at one instead of easing into job searching when you’re in between jobs. A large time gap on the resume only adds to your growing frustration and unnecessary complications at the time of interviews.
Use your experience to the ultimate possible advantage. You might’ve achieved a lot of professional success in the past and broadened your business network. Well, now is the time to put it to the best use. One of the crucial bits while job hunting that is subtlety required is reassuring your new employer that it is okay for you to learn new ideas and perspectives from a person with far less experience than you. This doesn’t mean that you’re giving up your individuality, respect, and recognition you’ve had through the years. It is a gesture that portrays you as a confident individual who is open to change, learning, and new experience – which is everything that an employer expects from an employee.
Most people believe in having a lengthy resume but it need not always be so. Keep your resume short. Include job roles, positions, and experience that is more in common with the new job you’re applying for. Highlight the achievements and recent contributions you’ve made in the professional field. Keep the spotlight on recent and relevant events.
Most importantly, constantly make an effort to keep yourself updated with the current highlights of your industry and skill set and demonstrate your fluency in technology. Make sure that all the potential employers know that you are hands-on and in line with ever-evolving technologies and would continue to keep up with the revolutionized development of technology.
Lastly, understand that you do have enough time. Starting afresh after 50 is more than possible! It is of utmost importance that you keep your skills fresh and always find satisfaction in your work. Between owning your experience and chasing after your new dreams, you’ll soon be ready for the next chapter in your professional life. The right company with a new-age mindset and flexibility that does not label you and put you into boxes is what you need and trust me, if you don’t give up, you’ll find one and plenty more to choose from!
