One of the crappiest trends I’m seeing in my mentorship sessions today is people getting laid off from large corporations after 20-40 years of silo right now.

If you’ve been somewhere over 5, 10, 20 years it’s worth looking at your employability elsewhere.

I have to have a deeply uncomfortable conversation with people my age and older about how they’re missing essential skills ATS will automatically reject without. How they’ll look to the computer worse than a new grad. Don’t trust corporations. Never trust corporations.

Applicant Tracking Systems will reject qualified candidates for using a dated descriptive term for a skill, rather than the modern word.
Job hopping allows a candidate to keep current on the jargon for identical skills.
Networking helps too.

@Npars01 @hacks4pancakes When I was laid off at the end of 2023, I polished up my resume and paid to have it reviewed twice. The biggest suggestions were to remove all experience greater than 15 years, remove the dates from my education, and remove all open source contributions and conference speaking engagements. I felt like I was completely eliminating what I thought was my “competitive advantage.”

I'd suspect a great deal depends on who you'd want to work for. Who could really use your skills in a way that would make the work worth doing... or if you just want to find the highest paying job you can land.
Interview the company right back.
