By now, you’ve heard about ageism in the job search. Yes, it is illegal. It's also rampant. Perhaps, you’ve experienced it. Thousands of smart and experienced workers can't land a job, because of misguided perceptions and biases against mature job seekers. During this session Ed Lawrence reveals the ageism presentation that he showed recently to a group of coaches and resume writers in Chicago. This presentation was aimed not at job seekers, but at the people whose job is to help job seekers. Ed will show you the survey results that reveal whether or not the coaches & writers make a difference and show you the suggestions he gave to the professional audience for better assisting job seekers.

Ed Lawrence is the founder and principal of Getstart-ed, through which he offers practical job-search assistance, résumé-writing services, and assessments to help people gain meaningful employment or transition to a new career. He is a Certified Professional Résumé Writer, Certified Student Career Coach, National Certified Online Profile Expert (NCOPE), and is certified in Myers-Briggs (MBTI), DISC, the Strong Interest Inventory, and Skillscan. He is the official resume writer for the Framingham Public Library, offering in-person help sessions on Tuesdays and online sessions on Thursdays.
