I was recently told that in this job market, 40 is the new 50. Since I'm turning 40 next month, I'm not loving that information. How are y'all making yourself seem younger on your resumes?

That's so common and I never understood why people did that.

That's crazy, who would say that? I almost think it's the opposite. People are working later into their lives and also living longer in general. I'm almost 50 and I feel like I'm 40. I wouldn't worry about seeming younger, just be yourself.

I dont' try to make myself seem younger. I am on the other side of 40 and this has not been my experience. I honestly would keep applying and not even let what people are saying phase you.

Only put the last 10-15 years of work on your resume, leave off graduation dates for your degrees, and remove any outdated skills or software. Then moisturize, use sunscreen, eat lots of plants, and exercise outdoors to lend a sense of vibrancy to your countenance.
