Let's get that out of your head I have been on the other side of the hiring table. I know what the perception is for older developers and if you Communicate that you're not gonna get the job. Let me let you know that now They'll never tell you because of your age and it's probably it's not because of your age It's your mentality. That's why you're not getting the job Your age is irrelevant when it comes to if you can provide value if you can provide value They don't care of you 200 years old. They're gonna hire your own if you can be here another five years delivering Value to the team. That's the most important goal if you're not willing to do that You're not gonna get the job. So let's get that out of the gate that whole age thing Yeah, some bad companies may do it. I'm not gonna say No company does it but you probably don't even work want to work for that company anyways The average company wants somebody to come in and help solve their problems They are swamp what problems? Anybody who can hit the ground running at a reasonable rate don't cause problems and really work willing to work with the team It's going to be a value as long as you Come within the parameters and I want to help you guys out with this So that being said guys do not be the old stubborn guy So many times I go through interviews to older developers come in they tell their experience They'll be a high mighty and they wondering why they never get called back because it's all about what the company needs And what you can provide with the company that exchange they use a certain tech stack They don't need you coming in trying to change everything to older models. Don't do that That's the reason why you're not getting a job see what they have how they can improve it How you can fill in the gaps with the team and that's how you're gonna get the job guys So get do that. So first thing first when you are an older developer You have to look in a mirror and ask yourself. Why do you? Why don't you have a job? You got to do that first? Why do you why why you don't have a job? Look in the mirror. Yeah during these times you may got laid off But if you got skill and you really that developer you're gonna get a job just like that But you've been on the job market for I don't know two plus years can't find a job You really have to look in the mirror and admit to yourself why you don't have a job You have the answers already. You're just not willing to admit that. Hey, I have outdated skills Hey, my communication skills are not on point Hey, I'm asking for too much money based off of what I can provide for that company You have to admit to these things before you move forward It's no way you're gonna get a job if you don't admit your baggage because this is the only way to move forward guys You have to admit your failures. You have to admit your downfalls. You have to know what? Value brain to the table and that's my next point guys You have to know what value bring to the table if you have outdated skills Let's get that updated guys. Let's see what the job market is. You're older developer. You should have a Expect you should have an ideal about the industry what the needs are what stacks they're using What's trending? This is your benefit to the company if you're not willing to do this No, you're not gonna get higher. You gotta have you gotta leverage the Assets that you have at this age guys You've been around long enough to know. Hey ten years out of school industry was here They moved in this direction. They're gonna use this technology. I have the answers. I'm not I'm gonna come to the team Even if it's not a leadership role plug in the gaps work with the team be a good teammate And then over time as you actually see After you pop I value build that report a leadership position will come up and you're gonna be ready made for it You're not gonna even have to ask for it. They're gonna give it to you because they know. Hey, you got experience You've been around for a while. You know the technology. You know the team everybody like you. Here's the job Here's a raise take us to the promised land That's what your job is a lot of you guys come into the interview with that same mentality Haven't building a rapport got outdated skills not a good team member and expect to get a leadership position Everybody bow down to you. That's not the way it works You're wondering why you can't get to position So I know I've been hard on you guys and I'm trying to tell you down so I can build you back up So you if you sight in the mirror you admit it. Hey, I do not have the skills. They're outdated My social skills is crap. I'm not a good leader and I'm outdated. I'm older So what do I do? Okay guys? It's time to move forward. You got to be willing to do the work Wet work those gaps. I was telling you about in the team. You have to be willing to learn and fill those gaps It may not be ideal at first.
