Overcoming
AGE DISCRIMINATION By Robin Ryan, author of “Over 40 & You’re Hired”
A manager shared something with me in
confidence that the President of their billion dollar organization had issued a verbal decree saying “we aren’t hiring anyone over 40 because they are too old to get the job done.”
Yes, age discrimination does exist. Anyone over the age of 50 wishes it wasn’t a fact, but sadly it is. You can overcome this issue. Whether you are employed and looking to make a move, or in career transition, handling these age biases effectively is essential if you are looking for a new position. After surveying hundreds of decision makers, here are the a few important strategies and solutions to overcome the problem.
Stereotype: Declining Productivity Levels Decision makers note that they have witnessed a decrease in productivity with older workers. Some said a significant decrease. One CEO said: “I want someone who can contribute now, not someone who did a lot ten years ago and still wants a large
paycheck but has little to offer in adding to our results tomorrow.” Solution: Producing recent results. It’s the factor that influences decision makers. Show how you have recently applied yourself and been able to get the job done. You will need to stress that you are good at what you do and that you deliver results. They want demonstrated initiative plus creative problem solving, integrity, honesty, hard work, self-start ability, a positive attitude and good communication skills.
Stereotype: Being Overqualified Employers worry about this issue A LOT. Many job seekers stressed, “I’m willing to start lower and work my way up,” but this seemed like an act of desperation and an out-of-touch, dated response to the hiring managers who hear it. Anyone who seemed desperate, willing to take “any” job, was “a major turnoff.” Additionally, the overqualified person is often believed to want the hiring manager’s job and that was a major concern. Employers frequently say they worry that the candidate sees the job as temporary until he or she can find a better position. Solution: The simplest and wisest solution is to look harder for positions you are qualified for. There may be fewer opportunities, but you can spend your time putting maximum effort in to locate these positions that fit your level of expertise and experience. Then target your resume and cover letter to meet their specific needs. Be open to moving - you likely need to move where the job is, recognizing that a lot of the competition for that job often refuses to move. If you still want to look lower, you may need to make some resume revisions that pull out or at the very least tone down some of the higher skills and accomplishments. It’s not uncommon for job seekers with PhDs to remove this degree from their resume because employers label them as too academic for jobs outside of the field of education.
Stereotype: You look OLD
22
JULY 6, 2018
A CEO from a major U.S. company noted, “There is a presumption that if your look is out-of-date, your information and skills are also out-of-date. Most over-40 job hunters have not had a makeover in ages and don’t realize how off-putting their appear-
ance can be, especially to a potentially younger interviewer or when they will be working with younger coworkers and/or customers.” On the other hand, a HR VP stated that sometimes people forget to act their age. They try too hard to look trendy, young, and hip, and it backfires. “A woman dressing like a teenager,” one said, “comes off looking ridiculous. And men in an outfit their kids would wear does not work!” Another sentiment noted by a top-level HR VP, “We see too many people who are over 40 showing up at an interview and actually losing the job ten seconds into the interview. They have lost their enthusiasm for life, let alone the job, and when they walked through the door they look defeated and burned out.” Solution: A dated appearance and a lack of enthusiasm are career stoppers. Many people over 40 could care less about fashion. Reinvention is the answer. Reinvention may simply mean for you to buy a more contemporary suit, get a new hairstyle to update your professional appearance to throw off this stereotype. Burnout is a different story. This needs some serious remedies. Time off, vacations, daily exercise, exploring hobbies you enjoy-maybe even counseling is necessary to get you out of this defeated mode. Your attitude - positive and encouraging, or negative, angry, and grumpy - has a big impact on those around you. A great many of these employers commented that a bad attitude was often the reason they skipped over hiring someone over 40. Therefore, you must show up enthused, vibrant, and excited. Hiring managers DID point out several very positive characteristics of more mature workers, including: • • • • • •
Having a superior work ethic Being loyal to their employers Acting as strong role models and mentors to young workers Offering superior customer service Being dependable-showing up every day ready to work (their kids are typically older or grown, thus they can work flexible hours). Stress the positive and the results you can deliver and the employer will take notice.

Q: I sometimes have a small glass of wine with my lunch. I have never mentioned this to anyone, but a manager asked me yesterday if I had been drinking. I never get drunk or hung over and have only one glass. Do you think I owe an explanation to the manager -Houston, Texas Reader A: Yes. And you think so, too Q: I have a crush on a guy at work, but I’ve never talked with him about it. We have not dated and are friendly, but that’s all. Do you think I should talk with him about it? -Houston, Texas Reader A: No. If he doesn’t feel the same, you are going to want to avoid him in the future. Both of you will feel uncomfortable and may not be able to continue working there. That seems a pretty high price to pay for a crush. Q: We interviewed a candidate last week, and although we liked her very much, we decided to not continue the interview process. 6, 2018 32 JULY She was engaging, interesting, and had a great sense of humor,
but she doesn’t know what she wants to do in the future. She is interviewing for a large variety of jobs rather than focusing on one career. In addition, and perhaps most importantly, she didn’t even research our company online before she came to the interview. She explained that she went to bed early. Do you think we did the right thing? -Katy, Texas Reader A: Absolutely. I know how hard it can be to fi nd the perfect candidate, and sometimes we are tempted to hire people we like even though we can tell they aren’t committed to our company or the job. The problem is that you can train them, but you can’t change them. If they didn’t care enough to research the company prior to appearing at your door, what will make them care enough to do a good job? Since she didn’t care, it was not a good match. Q: What is the most important thing you look for when you interview someone? -Houston, Texas Reader A: A good sense of humor. -If you have any questions about interviewing, hiring, or work, I’d love to hear from you. Due to the volume of response, not every question will appear in the column, but most questions will receive an email response within 2 to 3 days.

with my LIBERAL ARTS
“What are you going to do with a degree in THAT? Do you want to be a teacher?” If you major in liberal arts, you probably hear questions like those. It can be challenging to explain how a degree in, say, philosophy or music will lead to a career. That’s particularly true if you don’t want to teach. But there are probably more options than you realize, even if your career choices aren’t as apparent as those for students of nursing or engineering. Liberal arts majors have skills that are in demand—and they can qualify for many different kinds of jobs. Surveys by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) show that most hiring managers care more about a job candidate’s skills than they do about a college major. And the skills employers say they want most in a
JULY 6, 2018
That doesn’t mean the job search won’t take effort. As most jobseekers can attest, having a college degree doesn’t guarantee instant success in getting a job. And liberal arts graduates may need to be especially persistent.
WANTED:
LIBERAL ARTS MAJORS Liberal arts students’ employment and earnings have increased over time. More liberal arts graduates are reporting employment that relates to their degree. And more recently, salary offers have risen for many liberal arts graduates.

candidate, such as communication and critical thinking, are precisely those for which liberal arts students are known.
Those who study liberal arts can pursue a range of careers. Most entry-level positions require people who can learn quickly and solve problems; the specifics are taught on the job. “A general college degree is the major entry-level credential you need,” says author and speaker Donald Asher. “Employers are looking for the skills a candidate has to offer.” Experts say, and a NACE survey confirms, that the most important skill employers seek in job candidates is the ability to communicate effectively. Employers also look for a strong work ethic, teamwork, initiative, interpersonal skills, and problem-solving and analytical abilities. These are the very kinds of abilities honed by coursework in the humanities and social sciences. The same NACE survey shows that liberal arts graduates worked in a variety of industries, including retail trade and social assistance. And they worked in a range of career fields, from management to sales to graphic arts. Liberal arts majors who are passionate about their studies are at an advantage in the job market, experts say. Interest in the classroom often translates to eagerness in a job search and enthusiasm in an interview. And the ability to confidently articulate their ideas—a hallmark of liberal arts training—may be these jobseekers’ best justification of all for having chosen their major.
FINDING YOUR NICHE For many students, choosing a career path is the most difficult part of their college experience. The decision may be especially difficult for liberal arts majors, who often have many options beyond the obvious ones. An English major might decide to become an editor, for example, but they could also look at careers in business, sales, or graphic design. Narrowing down what you want to do can be hard, but it is important not to procrastinate for too long. “It can be so easy for liberal arts students to put off that kind of decision making,” says Robert Greensberg, former director of career services at the University of Tennessee, “usually because no one pushes them.” Echoes Susan Templeton, a senior career counselor at the University of Washington, “It’s never too early to think about what you want to do after college.” You can begin finding your niche by considering your interests and skills, doing some research, and gettingVOL. expert Know 23help. ISSUE 1148thyself—and thy
skills. When choosing a career, first consider your interests. Start with the courses you like. Suppose you are a history major. Think about what you enjoy most about that major. Is it the research? If so, you might want to explore research-intensive occupations, such as research assistant and paralegal. Do you like writing papers? If so, working as a reporter or technical writer might be a good match for your interest. Each of your academic and extracurricular interests could take you in a different career direction. Figure out what you like doing, and then think about which occupations require those aptitudes. Some career fields might require additional training, but a liberal arts background provides a solid foundation on which to build. Interest and skill assessments, many of which are offered as career counseling services, can help you to pinpoint your preferences. These exercises allow you to create a personal inventory for identifying strengths and weaknesses. Preferences aside, you may have skills employers favor—even if you’re not aware that you have them. As a liberal arts student, you have technical qualifications related to your particular major. Learning what those qualifications are can prepare you for specific occupations. Anthropology students, for example, know how to conduct ethnographic interviews and studies, skills that can aid them in marketing work when they analyze customers. English majors usually have editing and writing skills, which are essential for media, public relations, and publishing occupations. And geography majors are well suited to location based urban planning. These are just a few of the many ways that liberal arts studies apply directly to occupations. Some students dismiss these subject-specific careers because they think that there are too few jobs in them. But evidence suggests that all fields mentioned in the previous paragraph, while relatively small, are growing. Liberal arts students often end up broadening their search when choosing work. In fact, solid training in liberal arts subjects is more of an asset than many students realize—but they soon discover its value when they start a job. Laura Denbow, a career counselor at Bucknell University, tells of a student client who majored in art history and landed a job in investment banking. When applying for the job, he highlighted the finance projects that he had worked on outside of his usual coursework. His unique perspective and skill set gave him an advantage over more occupationally specialized students. “Because of his liberal arts courses, he approached problems at work differently,” says Denbow. “He also became the point person for all of the writing in his office.” Research the job market. In addition to knowing your skills and preferences, you need information about career fields and employers to make a decision about what you want to do. But like many students, those who study liberal arts don’t always know enough about career possibilities and the business world. Fortunately for liberal arts students, the research skills they use in their coursework are applicable to learning about businesses, too. Experts suggest that VOL. 23 ISSUE 1148 students approach career research as they would
any other research project: by talking to specialists and reviewing news articles, journals, Web sites, and other resources.
can help them figure out what they might like to do as a career. After all, a job can be a steppingstone; it needn’t feel like a life sentence.
Find help. Deciding on a career can be difficult, especially if you have a degree that doesn’t point to a specific type of job. But getting help can make the process easier. Professionals in your college’s career center can offer advice on topics ranging from choosing a career to negotiating a salary.
DEVELOPING JOB SKILLS.
If you know which skills you want to use in a future job, you can consult a career counselor to help you match those skills with potential jobs. And even if you have no ideas, career counselors can help you find direction. Nearly all career centers offer Internet resources that describe occupational choices by college major. But online research should be considered one of many steps. “Web sites are everywhere,” says Denbow. “Sometimes, there is just too much information out there to make a good choice when you don’t know what you’re looking for.”
For many students, choosing a career path is the most difficult part of their college experience. The decision may be especially difficult for liberal arts majors, who often have many options beyond the obvious ones WHAT ARE THE “LIBERAL ARTS”? “Liberal arts” can mean different things to different people. Some use a broad definition that often includes mathematics, basic sciences, and economics. Others refer more specifically to the humanities and social sciences. Examples of fields of study that are usually included in either definition are history, English literature, women’s studies, anthropology, foreign languages, philosophy, and international relations. The NCES definition classifies economics as a social science and one of the liberal arts; by contrast, NACE defines economics as a business discipline. To help sort out options, most centers provide a variety of services in addition to career counseling, including job fairs, internship placement, and resume workshops. The University of Washington, for example, hosts an annual career discovery week, inviting alumni to come and discuss their career paths. And, say experts, students can reduce the pressure to decide their entire lives in college and instead plan only as far as a first job. Learning new skills and gaining experience in an entry-level job
You can begin to develop job skills while you’re still in school, even if your courses seem to have little to do with your career goals. Get skills for your resume by molding your activities, including coursework and summer jobs, to fit the careers that interest you. Coursework as resume builder. One way to boost your career readiness is to take a course or two in a different, more occupationally specific, subject. Doing so will help you see if you like the subject, and you’ll also learn new skills and industry jargon. Some liberal arts students even decide to earn another major, or pursue a minor, in a technical or business subject. Some colleges and universities offer programs that connect liberal arts studies with real-world skills. Through these types of programs, liberal arts majors can develop skills, test career aspirations, and boost confidence. New York University, for example, has a program that awards certificates in professional subjects but does not interfere with the core curriculum of liberal arts. An art history major might elect to earn a certificate in art appraisal, perhaps, or a French major could opt for a certificate in translation. Matthew Santirocco, dean of the university’s College of Arts and Sciences, describes the program as an “add-on” to liberal arts studies. Another way to demonstrate interest in a career unrelated to your major is to choose class projects that connect with that career. A sociology major might show interest in working with children, for example, by writing a paper on the impact of programs on disadvantaged youth. In addition to helping you gain a fundamental understanding of the field, projects like these make it easier for professors to provide recommendations to employers. Internships and other experience. There is often no better way to develop your interest in a career than to get direct exposure to it. Obtaining relevant work experience can make all the difference in getting a job. And that’s especially true if the job is in a field not directly related to your liberal arts major. Internships give liberal arts majors a hands-on opportunity to test their career assumptions. Some students pursue an internship in an occupation they don’t know much about as a way to discover their preferences. Even if they don’t like the internship, the experience can help them know what to look for in a job after they graduate. Summer jobs, part-time jobs, and volunteer work can also be useful. Working not only provides exposure to the world of business or community service; it also gives students an opportunity to demonstrate reliability, timeliness, courteousness, and other traits important to employers. And building a reputation as a good worker or volunteer is helpful for jobseekers in need of references.

openings for which you apply. You can use your resume to explain how your liberal arts major and your skills or experience relate to jobs. Starting off with a summary of qualifications, say experts, is a good way to include both transferable skills, such as writing ability, and more technical ones, such as knowledge of computers. To market yourself well, create a master resume you can alter to fit each job you want. “Resumes must be tweaked each time they are used,” says Asher. “It is about tailoring your background to the needs of the employer.” You may have to research the company advertising the job to learn which skills it is likely to be looking for. Then, you can emphasize on your resume how your qualifications relate to those skills. Liberal arts majors might want to consider including extracurricular activities and academic projects on their resumes. Doing so helps them demonstrate that they understand the link between what they’ve done in school and what’s expected in the workplace. For a management trainee job, for example, liberal arts applicants should highlight courses or projects that required teamwork or public speaking.
GET OUT THERE! When your resume is ready, you should use a variety of methods to distribute it. Common methods include networking, checking job postings, attending job fairs, and making “cold calls.” Networking. Networking involves making work-related connections with people you already know and people you meet during your job search—and it is a powerful tool. “Networking is a major activity,” says Greensberg, “and it’s important to devote a lot of time to it.” For liberal arts graduates especially, networking may offer the chance to show people more directly how they qualify for a specific career. In general, networking makes the job search more effective. “You have a better chance of getting a job if you have someone on the inside of a company give an employer your resume,” says Asher. “If it’s before they decide to post a vacancy to the public, you have cut down on your competition.” Students should ask family, friends, and professors for help. Check with your career center or academic department for opportunities to speak with alumni. Joining professional associations and attending conferences are other good ways to expand your network. Finding job postings. Job postings, including those in newspapers and professional publications and on the Internet, are another source of opportunity. But simply putting a resume on an Internet job bank is usually unsuccessful, in part because of the large number of applicants. Specialized sites devoted to one career might be more effective. Visiting career fairs. Many employers recruit directly on campuses, and most employers attending career fairs are not recruiting students by specific degree or major subject. Learn about your school’s fairs, and ask which employers are expected to attend. Even if you go only to learn about a type of job, these events can help to sharpen your focus. “Cold calling.” Some students looking for an internship or full-time job try “cold calling”: contacting employers they do not know and who have not advertised job openings. Experts suggest doing this only as a last resort. “Although it’s good to be creative in your job search,” says Santirocco, “it’s better to use and take advantage of any connections you have.” Cold calling does work sometimes. But researching the best prospects first will increase your chances of success.

KEEP IT SIMPLE AND SAFE
ALLOW THEM TO EARN IT
Dear Dave,
Dear Dave,
My husband and I finally have our full emergency fund in place. Like you recommend, we’ve kept it in a money market account with check writing privileges for easy accessibility. Recently, we heard about short-term bond funds with a higher interest rate than our current money market account. Our money would be available for withdrawal if needed, and we would only lose the interest. Is it okay to move half of our emergency fund into one of these bond funds to take advantage of the higher interest rate?
Our daughter just turned 10 years old. Is now the right time to start giving her an allowance, and start teaching her about money?
- Ferisa Dear Ferisa, Absolutely not! Under no circumstances should you do something like that. An emergency fund is not an investment. You’ll never build wealth and get rich off your emergency fund. That’s not what it’s there for. I understand this might be the first time in your lives you’ve had a nice chunk of cash in the bank. I also get that it’s hard to let it just sit there and make no money. But an emergency fund is insurance, not an investment. It’s a rainy day fund, and its whole purpose is to sit there safe and wait until life throws unexpected expenses in your face. Think about it this way. Insurance costs you money to protect things that make you money — like your home. It’s also there to cover things you otherwise would not be able to afford. When you have an emergency fund in place, you don’t have to dip into your 401(k), your IRA, or go into debt. Why? Because your emergency fund provides insurance against those kinds of things. Let your emergency fund sit right where it is, Ferisa. Besides, it’s a really bad idea to buy bonds in an environment where interest rates are increasing. Bonds have an inverse relationship to interest rates. So, as interest rates climb you’ll lose out if you’re playing around with bonds! —Dave

JULY 6, 2018
Danielle Dear Danielle, I’m glad you’re going to teach your daughter about money. But in my mind, there’s never a time for an allowance. I believe that kind of thinking, and using words like “allowance,” are some of the best ways to instill an attitude of entitlement in a child. I don’t think you want your daughter growing up with the idea she deserves money simply because she’s alive. My advice is to develop a method by which she can earn commissions. Write down a daily or weekly list of jobs around the house that are ageappropriate she will be responsible for doing. Then, at the end of the week, she gets paid for jobs she completed — and she doesn’t get paid for the ones she didn’t do. The idea is to teach her that work creates money, and teach a healthy work ethic at the same time. Of course, there are some things a child should be expected to do without financial reward. Everyone needs to pitch in, and do certain things to help when they’re part of a family. And once you’ve taught her about the importance and rewards of work, make sure to also teach her about the three uses for money — saving, spending, and giving! —Dave
