I just turned 60 and am actively looking for my next role... but I'm consistently running into brick walls after the initial interview. It feels like companies are just doing their due diligence with an older candidate. Are there specific industries or types of sales roles where experience is more valued over perceived "youth"? Thoughts?

I’m 56 and finally found a role in industrial sales. It turns out they love reps who already know how to talk to decision-makers and don’t need babysitting. Maybe skip the flashy companies and focus on the ones that want closers, not just charisma.

I haven't encountered this too often in medical sales. I definitely felt it more when I was considering going into technology or automotive sales. I do think the industry can make a difference sometimes when it comes to how much they prioritize "youth."
