Are you worried about age discrimination in the hiring process?

Most people fear discrimination by a hiring manager, however, most of the time technology is the one discriminating against you. Job seekers over the age of fifty don’t always realize they are being screened out of the hiring process by a computer, not a real human being. Unfortunately, this technology is one of the biggest reasons why job seekers don’t get the interviews they want and deserve.

Many employers use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to help screen for candidates. If your resume isn’t optimized for these systems you will have a hard time getting through. ATS can filter for years of experience, and if your experience doesn’t exactly match the numbers they are looking for, you will be thrown in the trash.

If you are having a hard time getting your resume into the hands of a real person, it might be time to age-proof your resume and LinkedIn profile. Our tips will help increase opportunities, boost candidacy, and land you more interviews!

5 Reasons To Make SurveyJunkie Your Next Side Hustle

There are several reasons why someone might choose to have a side hustle as an online survey taker for SurveyJunkie. Here are five possible reasons:

1. Flexibility: Online survey taking allows for flexibility in terms of working hours. As a survey taker, you can typically choose when and where you want to complete surveys. This flexibility is especially beneficial for individuals who have other commitments such as a full-time job, studies, or family responsibilities.

2. Extra Income: One of the primary motivations for having a side hustle is to earn additional income. SurveyJunkie offers compensation to survey takers for completing surveys. While the income may vary depending on factors like survey length and complexity, it can be a convenient way to supplement your regular income or save up for specific goals.

3. Low Entry Barrier: Starting as an online survey taker usually has a low barrier to entry. SurveyJunkie, for example, allows individuals to sign up easily and start taking surveys without requiring specialized skills or experience. This accessibility makes it an attractive option for people looking to earn money without needing extensive training or qualifications.

4. Work from Anywhere: Online survey taking provides the opportunity to work from anywhere with an internet connection. Whether you prefer to work from the comfort of your home, a coffee shop, or while traveling, as long as you have access to the internet, you can take surveys and earn money. This flexibility can be particularly appealing for digital nomads or individuals seeking location-independent work.

5. Variety and Engagement: Participating in online surveys exposes you to a range of topics and provides an opportunity to share your opinions. This can be interesting and engaging for individuals who enjoy expressing their thoughts, providing feedback, or learning about different subjects. It can also serve as a way to stay updated on market trends, consumer preferences, and new products or services.

In the video above, J.T. talks about how her followers on TikTok told her the best thing that happened to their career in 2023 was unplanned. Some of them even said that the best thing that happened to their career started out as something negative. Maybe they were laid off, fired, or let go. At first, that might seem like a negative thing. However, it opened up new opportunities and led them to something great.

Many times when we go after career goals, we set very specific expectations for ourselves. And when we don't meet those expectations, we get frustrated and sad. But when something unexpected happens and it turns out to be positive, we celebrate.

We want you to celebrate more than just the unexpected. You should be able to cerebrate achievements you have planned for too!

When you set an active plan that doesn’t have very specific end goals, you are providing a chance for unexpected opportunities. If you are feeling miserable and frustrated and are using outdated techniques, then it’s time for a change. It’s time to start seeking new opportunities.
