Yes, it’s Patra Frame time again! I really like her great insights and no-nonsense and pragmatic
approach.
This film takes a sensible approach to tackling ageist
attitudes amongst employers. Not least, you’ll get a better understanding of
what they are thinking about older candidates. You cannot eliminate ageist
attitudes, but understanding them is the first step to constructing your own
plan to overcome them.
You also get some great tips here on how to assess which
types of organisation are best to approach and which ones to avoid. Sadly,
ageism isn't going to go away anytime soon, but we can apply our maturity and
intelligence to combat it.
Another way to deal with age discrimination: switch to self-employment. There’s less discrimination. Many of the concerns that Patra Frame lists do not apply to freelancers and consultants.

I agree Diana. And having read your great book, I can only recommend it to anyone considering this option. Let's play to our strengths!
