US centric article. I am over the article mentioned age by quite a few years, and since arriving in France I got job offers (and accepted one), without "hiding" anything in my resume (education w/dates, complete experience w/dates + up-to-date picture in resume).
BTW: I was member of AARP until last year, in the US. Wasted money + junk mail every once in a while...
- gniv 4y agoHow did you find these offers? I'm planning to move to France (from US) and to look for jobs once I learn French well. Feel free to email me if you don't want to share publicly.
- netfortius 4y agoNo secret :-) I changed my profile in LinkedIn to mention new location (France) and added "Freelance/Consulting in sabbatical". Had absolutely no intention to get a job, originally (my sabbatical was in fact a sort of pre-retirement/FIRE), but when I started getting DMs in LinkedIn I became curious. A few calls with some folks, with one thread of conversations which seemed too interesting to not pursue - job offer.
- gniv 4y agoThanks! I'm in a similar situation. Good tip with "sabbatical". I should do the same.
