Target specific jobs and employers where ageism can work in your favor. In my case, I thought I was going to play the "generalist" card based on the job posting, but they asked for someone to build the team by recruiting juniors and training them. Ok, sage age, FTW. Also: shave if you have a grey beard. Save it for later when you need someone to listen to advice from hard-earned experience.
