where can i find free resume's and cover letters designed for 50+ workers?

We Answered:

You might consider doing a "free resume review" or "free sample cover letter" search in yahoo. Often times, professional resume writers will offer this type of information on their sites.

The biggest problem you might run into is that people will potentially be concerned about your level of computer / internet knowledge, typing skills and/or that you are overqualified for a position. Depending on your background, you might be able to position yourself as a consultant versus and employee and do some contract work, which could be more rewarding, unless you are really in need of a traditional benefits package.

As for resume styles, you might consider a performance based resume instead of a chronological, which does a little better job of hiding your age before you get into the interview process. It is illegal to discriminate based on age, but if you don't even get an interview, it doesn't matter.

Contact me if you'd like to talk more about your particular situation.
