Although age discrimination in hiring is illegal under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), that doesn’t mean it isn’t prevalent. Research shows that it’s often harder for older workers to secure new jobs.

How do I find a new job at 59?

Here are some strategies to find a new job after age 50:

  1. Start your job search right away.

  3. Reassure a younger manager.
  4. Don’t mention your age or the interviewer’s age.
  5. Shorten your resume.
  6. Explain why you’re not overqualified.
  7. Demonstrate your fluency with technology.
