Mary Eileen Williams has a great article about the 3 Common Mistakes Older Job-Seekers Make. I love the article because the #1 mistake she cites is wrapped up in a personal statement I make all the time about avoiding competency complacency.Here are the three common mistakes Williams cites:
1. The appearance of complacency
2. Hesitancy to toot your own horn
3. Allowing the media hype to get you down
Please read the complete article for her great insight and how to overcome these mistakes.
