**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Webinar via email.**

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.
