Qualified executive Tom had trouble landing the job for 8 months…until he brought a 30-60-90-Day Action Plan to his interview. His new boss thought it was what set Tom apart and helped him beat out two other qualified candidates. Congratulations Tom!
Hi, Peggy,
After 8 frustrating months, I just landed a VP level position with a well known company. Being 62 years old made this even more remarkable. My resume was already in the format you suggest, but handing the 30/60/90 day plan to the hiring manager made the difference. There were two other qualified candidates, but my new boss specifically mentioned the action plan as something special. Thanks for your help!

I speak to a lot of people in their 60s who have real trouble getting a job…but with the right approach, you absolutely can get a great job. At any age, how you present yourself to the employer makes all the difference.
