People with over 10 years of work experience are starting to hide parts of their experience on their resume to get more interviews. And here's why. This article talks about how people are reducing their resumes down to the last 10 years to avoid getting filtered out or just getting automatically rejected. And a big reason for that is because of age bias in the hiring process. So I'm gonna show you three things that you can easily fix on your resume so this doesn't happen to you. And I'm saying this as someone with hiring experience, as a former V P. And director. That now helps people get hired in this terrible job market. So first, similar to what this article is saying, your resume should not be your full entire career history. You should focus really on the last 10. I would say 10 to 15 years of relevant work experience. If you have additional relevant experience, you can put that in an additional work experience section at the bottom, condensed. But it's the most recent and relevant experience that you wanna emphasize and expand on. And the second important fix is that when you do expand on those recent roles, you don't wanna just list responsibilities. It's absolutely critical that you show how you brought value, your impact in those roles. So instead of saying something like this, you wanna say something like this. And the third fix is that your resume has to show that you're Adaptable, not stuck in the past. So in this case, you wanna avoid saying something like this, and instead you wanna say something like this. Hey, this shows that you're evolving with new technology and that you're not stuck doing things like the old way. The goal, all these changes, isn't to necessarily hide your age, but it's to make sure that your qualifications are what stands out and that your age is not a distraction. And if you need more help with this, I have ages and proof resume templates with more examples and details. You can get them. They're available in my bio.
