As an older worker, it’s easy to go off recalling the “old days” and how things have – or haven’t — changed.  In searching for an IT job at 50, however, it’s important to stay focused on the employer’s present and future needs – and how the company will benefit from your experience.
That doesn’t mean leaving dates off your resume to appear less old, according to Shelley Radinsky of T & S Recruiting near Philadelphia.  She relates:  “I think you should be proud of every bit of experience you have and “If you go in there confident, that will come across.”
