[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, I re-entered after a shorter period but I do have some thoughts. First of all, you can fudge people's perception of your age a little bit, by just not disclosing it. Take graduation dates off your resume. Color your hair if you aren't. Get a good LinkedIn photo in which you look sharp and professional. The most important thing, I think, is to have something at the top of your resume that is recent. The board work could be good especially if related to the area you're targeting. You can also take some online skills classes, earn certificates, and put those on. It seems trivial but it helps you look engaged. This helped me get hired in a new industry. You are not so old, and you have time to have a solid career ahead of you. Good luck![/quote]
