Don’t assume bias
It’s easy to assume that because you’re over 50 somehow everyone is going to be against you, and all sorts of bias will prevent you from being successful.
If you go into any interview or application process with this on your mind, chances are you’ll bring your own unconscious bias into the situation, and that may really work against you.
CVs generally don’t have age on them anymore but obviously experience will indicate your age – wear it as a badge of honour. Life and work experience is worthy of respect.
