Questions and Advice
"I am facing age discrimination while applying for jobs. How do I show people I am more than my age, and my age is a benefit, not a disadvantage?"
Tired of being either a "fresh-faced newbie" or a "seasoned professional"? Don't ditch the age denial, ditch the ageism! Embrace your wrinkles (wisdom highlights, obviously) and showcase your experience. You are a Yoda of your field, dispensing knowledge and slaying dragons (metaphorical office dragons, that is).
Here's the truth: age is a superpower, and it's time we started using it like one.
This is your time to shine!

- Acknowledge your feelings
- Connect with others
- Practice self-care
- Honor in your own way
- Set boundaries
- Seek professional help
