Resume Help

Resumes After a Long Career (or a Career Break)

Guidance on trimming decades of experience into a focused, current resume without hiding who you are.

Why I recommend it: Fifteen years of relevant history is plenty. Lead with the last decade and let the rest be a short summary line.

AARP Work & Jobs

Job search guidance written for workers over 50 — resumes, skills, ageism, and flexible work.

In plain terms: This website provides job search guidance and career tools for workers age 50 and older. You can take online courses to build skills, explore flexible work options, and get advice on handling age discrimination.

Why I recommend it: The advice here assumes a long career instead of apologizing for one.

CoGenerate (formerly Encore.org)

Research and programs on encore careers — purpose-driven second acts, often in nonprofit and social impact work.

In plain terms: This platform provides research, fellowships, and programs focused on purpose-driven work across different generations. You can explore case studies, reports, and events to help you transition into social impact roles and collaborate with older or younger professionals.

Why I recommend it: Useful if the goal is meaningful work for the next fifteen years, not a ladder climb.

iRelaunch: Return-to-Work and Returnship Programs

The largest directory of paid returnships and career-reentry programs, searchable by industry and location.

In plain terms: This directory lists paid return-to-work programs and returnships from employers worldwide. You can filter the opportunities by location and program type to find companies hiring professionals returning to the workforce.

Why I recommend it: If you have been out of the workforce a year or more, a paid returnship gets you a current title on the resume fast.

Interview Prep

Handling Age Bias in Interviews (AARP)

Practical scripts for the questions that carry age assumptions — "you might be overqualified," "how do you feel about a young team."

Why I recommend it: Rehearse two answers: one for overqualified, one for culture fit. Calm and specific beats defensive every time.
