Comment on: Blog Post 'India: If you were me what would you want to know? (-6 Days and Counting)': ication but it is a factor as much here as anywhere. I spoke Tuesday night to group of 50 out of work MIS professionals and few in the room were under 40. Age came up. it always does. The short take is that professionals over 40 are as much to blame for the problem - which doesn't excuse the employer side of the equation. But there are two areas mature professionals can address - 1) obsolescence- networking with peers of all ages through professional associations to stay current is essential even if you do it on your own time and expense and, b) give up that defensive attitude that signals you expect to be discriminated against which is probably borne of the fact that they have probably passed over folks older than they in the past partly due to bias rather than clear information about performance. So forgive yourself and move on. An experienced pro should walk into an interview and subtly show that they get it by turning their RIm to silent mode. They should be able to point to their technical blogs, quote peers half their age who have excelled in measuring the impact of their function and note key points about tactics, strategy and policy that are current in their profession. They should be able to describe conversations they've had recently with employees all willing to refer them (no matter how they got the interview) and be prepared to argue that they expect to solve problems easily. There is much more to this issue and there are cultural complications. In China, for example, professionals my age were likely damaged during the cultural revolution and, coupled with the fact that their second language is likely Russian instead of English, probably should be retiring (men are forced out at 60 and women at 55) and making room fro all those new grads. I promise to help keep this issue alive...at least as long as I think I might want to work. lol The advantage of age is the wisdom to know what you are really good at. Stay current and share it while you are in a position to do so and the problem of competing unsuccessfully with younger colleagues will be minimized.…; Added by Gerry Crispin at 3:39pm on December 3, 2009
