Age and Career

      Aging may be regarded as an obstacle from the point of view of looking for a new job. On the other hand, experience which comes with years ha helped me substantially on my path on the career ladder. What I mean is that being old is not always for the bad.
     First of all, looking at my portfolio, people tend to be extremely surprised. The profound layout of all the positions held have a great impact on the attitude of people who are on the higher rank. They are not ashamed of asking for advice and discussing some important points.
     Moreover, experience provides me with access to the so-called helpers-list, that is people who I can delegate some my tasks. That makes my work much more interesting, allowing me to reject some boring obligations.
     To tell you the truth, my age makes all the younger employees respect me and it can't but please me.Understanding of the fact that you are the first to be asked for help in some problematic issues.
  

Interview tips

     I believe that we cannot go far in a CV. It is really hard to make it catchy or exciting: too restricted form, too few place for letting your thoughts go far away. It can be still impressive, full of qualifications, useful experience and skills. But a great failure is to state something an author of a CV does not really possess. During the interview it becomes obvious straight ahead; this leaves few chances for applicant to succeed.

     Interview – this is the right place and time for standing out of all the others short-listed. Of course, confidence and goal orientation take the stage here. You should always remember to prepare some questions for your interviewer in advance, since their absence can be regarded as lack of interest or concentration.

     My personal experience shows that it is of extreme importance to be a pro of interview. For this purpose, I have a rather useful tip. You should go for interviews even not being interested in a new position. Let’s say, just for fun. In this way, being interviewed, you will be up your alley and behave absolutely normal. Personally I have earned plenty of useful tips for my further promotion.
