Work

You’re looking for work and you’re over fifty

Translate thirty years of experience into words employers search for

The hard part isn’t the search — it’s the translation. Thirty years of experience described in words that were current when you learned them. Put the posting and your history side by side and ask what maps to what.

Try saying

“Here’s the job posting. Here’s what I actually did for 22 years. Which of my experience matches, and what are they calling it now?”

Where it lets you down

It doesn’t know the employer, the manager, or your local market. And it writes in a smooth, generic register that reads as machine-made — take its structure, keep your own sentences.
