How to Write a Resume That Survives an Age Discrimination Filter

In episode 56 of The Resume Room, Lucas and Luna tackle one of the most quietly pervasive hiring biases: age discrimination. With the median age of the U.S. workforce now at 42 and companies increasingly using AI screening tools that can inadvertently penalize older dates, the hosts drill into a specific strategy called 'the ten-year rule.' They walk through a real example — a 58-year-old marketing executive who cut her resume from 25 years of experience to a focused 10, landing interviews at three tech startups within six weeks. Along the way, they discuss how to handle certifications that date you, why you should drop the 'References available upon request' line, and the surprising thing about GPA that older candidates keep getting wrong. Plus, a quick word on why this show stays ad-free and how listeners can support that choice. #AgeDiscrimination #ResumeWriting #CareerAdvice #JobSearch #AIHiring #TenYearRule #MarketingExecutive #TechStartups #HiringBias #CareerPivot #LucasAndLuna #TheResumeRoom #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #JobApplication #ATSResume #MidCareer Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
