1
If you are over 50 years old and you are struggling to get a job, please watch this video.
2
Or if you know someone who is struggling to get hired in their 50s or older, please make sure you forward this video on to them.
3
I'm going to reveal the two reasons why people who are over 50 struggle to get invited to job interviews
4
and ultimately struggle to get offered the job.
5
There are two reasons you need to know what they are.
6
I will also give you two simple fixes to solve this common problem.
7
Make sure you stay tuned.
8
And just very quickly, before we get started, make sure you tell me the name of the role
9
you would like to apply for in the comments section below the video so I can give you some extra help.
10
My name is Richard McMunn.
11
I have been a hiring manager and recruitment expert for more than 30 years
12
and today I will help you get hired if you are over 50.
13
Here we go, take notes.
14
So, as I said at the start, there are two reasons why people who are over 50 often struggle to get hired.
15
Reason number one, you won't like this, but this is true.
16
There are some employers out there who believe people who are over 50 are stuck in their ways.
17
Yes, they have lots of experience to offer, but they don't like being told what to do.
18
They won't likely take instructions from a younger manager and they won't embrace change.
19
I am 55 years old.
20
Is that true of me?
21
No, it's not true.
22
I value change and I certainly wouldn't have any problem with taking instructions from a younger manager.
23
But this is the reality.
24
When you are applying for jobs over the age of 50, there is a misconception with some employers,
25
not all, but with some employers who believe you are stuck in your ways.
26
Stick around
27
and I will tell you what to do about this common
28
problem reason number two why people over 50 struggle to get hired is
29
because some employers not all some employers believe people who are
30
over 50 are more likely to have time off through health issues
31
now of course lots of people over 50 are incredibly fit
32
because as you progress through life then you tend to take more care of yourself
33
you might stop drinking alcohol you might you know engage in increased physical activity for example
34
i go out walking 15 to 20 000 steps a day i am 55 years old
35
but i take good care of myself yes i still like to go out for a beer at the weekend
36
but i generally take better care of myself than i did
37
when i was in my 30s
38
but there are some employers who believe people who are over 50 might have more time off through illness or sickness.
39
And again, there is a way that we can overcome this problem.
40
So in the next section of this walk and talk video,
41
I will reveal the two things you can do to significantly increase your chances of getting hired if you are over 50.
42
I will tell you what those two things are
43
and I will then tell you the various different jobs you might decide to apply for if you are over 50.
44
These are job roles that I believe, based on my 30 years experience in recruitment, that are very well suited to people who are over 50.
45
But first of all, let me tell you those two simple fixes you can do to increase your chances of getting hired.
46
Write these down.
47
When you apply for any job role with any company,
48
you are required to submit a CV or resume as part of your application.
49
Near the start of your CV or resume, there is a section called personal statement or professional summary.
50
This is a brief outline of your suitability for the role
51
and there is something I recommend you write in your personal statement
52
that will help to convince the employer
53
that you are the right person for the job even though you are over 50 years old.
54
Let me put up on the screen the exact thing I recommend you write
55
that I believe will increase your chances of getting hired.
56
Here it is.
57
A highly motivated, reliable and adaptable professional with x years of experience in and you would insert the industry.
58
So place the number of years experience you have there and the industry you have operated in.
59
I bring valuable knowledge, a strong work ethic, and a positive team -focused attitude.
60
I understand the importance of following management instructions, responding positively to feedback, embracing change,
61
supporting colleagues, and continually developing my skills.
62
I am fit and healthy and committed to contributing to my employer's success by delivering consistently high standards and positive results.
63
So writing that as part of your CV or resume, personal statement or professional summary,
64
I believe is going to increase your chances of getting hired because it tells the employer that you are fit and healthy.
65
You are willing to accept feedback.
66
You want to learn new skills and you will embrace change.
67
There is something else you can do as part of the application process, and that is to say something when answering the interview question,
68
why should we hire you?
69
Again, let me put up the answer on the screen
70
so you can write it down and use it when applying for different jobs.
71
Here we go.
72
Why should we hire you?
73
Here we go.
74
You should hire me because I have a lot to offer your company, Even though I have plenty of experience and knowledge,
75
I still enjoy learning new skills, supporting my co -workers, taking on feedback from my manager,
76
and helping my employer try new initiatives that help the business succeed.
77
You should also hire me because I understand the importance of change
78
and will take responsibility for my ongoing development so that I always add value to the team.
79
That is a brilliant answer for the over 50s to the question, why should we hire you?
80
Both of those things, the personal statement and the answer will help you get hired if you are over 50.
81
Before we come on to the jobs that I believe are highly suitable for experienced people who are over 50,
82
I want to quickly tell you about a brilliant service I offer for the over 50s.
83
If you click the link in the top comment below the video, it will take you through to my website,
84
cvmadeeasy .co .uk, and I will write your CV for you based on your many years experience,
85
your knowledge, your skills and qualities, and also what you can bring to the employer if you are over 50.
86
I will personally tailor your CV to the job role and the company.
87
That is very important when applying for any job role.
88
It does not matter how old you are.
89
You must tailor your CV to every job role.
90
So check out that link in the top comment below the video.
91
Here are those jobs I believe are highly suited to experience people who are over 50.
92
Job role number one, if you are over 50 is a front desk receptionist this is a great job
93
because you as someone over 50 will be a good communicator
94
you will be patient able to deal effectively with difficult customers
95
or clients solve problems and also you will be a great role model for the company so job number one, if you are over 50,
96
to consider applying for is a front desk receptionist because you are trustworthy and reliable.
97
And also, I don't know if it's just me,
98
but I've noticed in recent years that younger people tend to be incapable of communicating effectively in person with others.
99
Tell me if you think I'm wrong, but I've started to notice that more and more.
100
Younger people are struggling to communicate with other people
101
so a great job
102
if you are over 50 is a front desk receptionist job
103
number two for the over 50s is some form of professional driver bus driver train driver delivery driver again
104
because you are experienced you are more likely to be safe in your work
105
and understand the importance of following strict rules and procedures.
106
This is a great job for someone who is over 50.
107
I run my own business, a recruitment business.
108
I run this YouTube channel.
109
But if I were out of work,
110
the job that I would look for is either bus driver or train driver because I have many years experience driving.
111
I have a clean driving license and also i am reliable
112
and trustworthy i will always act safely and follow strict company rules and procedures driving
113
is a great job for people who are over 50.
114
The next job role that, in my opinion, is perfect for people who are over 50.
115
A security officer.
116
Again, because you are reliable, confident in your abilities, you have lots of life experience,
117
and you are able to converse and communicate with others effectively.
118
If you are over 50, people are more likely to take you seriously.
119
I want someone to turn up to work on time, to be reliable, punctual.
120
And those are skills and traits that are required in security roles.
121
So if you are over 50, you might decide to become a security officer or a security guard for a company or organisation.
122
This next job role for the over 50s is often overlooked.
123
And that is a manager, supervisor or team leader.
124
Why?
125
Because people who are over 50 generally have lots of life experience and they just need a little bit of training,
126
coaching and guidance to be able to lead and manage others.
127
It's a great job role if you are over 50.
128
I took up my first management position at the age of 23 in the fire service and I absolutely loved it.
129
And as I got older, my confidence grew.
130
So now I run my own company, I manage people and I'm 55.
131
I feel very comfortable managing other people and motivating them.
132
There is something very rewarding about being a leader or a manager.
133
If you are over 50, even if you have no previous management experience, I strongly recommend you consider being a manager,
134
team leader or supervisor
135
and in the description below the video i have provided you with a leadership
136
and management training video course watch that if you are considering becoming a manager
137
or leader another great job for people who are over 50 is customer service advisor
138
because lots of these job roles can be undertaken remotely
139
while working from home and this type of work is very well suited to some people who are over 50.
140
In this type of work, you will deal with customer complaints, answer questions.
141
It's very basic and monotonous work, but it is perfect if you are over 50, because again, you are reliable,
142
punctual, experienced, and also patient when dealing with others.
143
And by the way, I do have a free customer service training course, which will teach you the basics of customer service
144
it comes with a certificate of completion the course is free again

Aussprache, auf die du achten solltest
Der Sprecher verwendet 14 Kurzformen und abgeschwächte Formen, zum Beispiel don't, I'm, won't. Sprich sie in der kurzen Form, so wie du sie hörst.
- Die „th“-Laute: trustworthy /ˈtɹʌst.wɜː.ði/, ethic /ˈɛθ.ɪk/
- Die Laute „sh“ und „zh“: instruction /ɪnˈstɹʌkʃən/, initiative /ɪˈnɪʃ.ə.tɪv/, organisation /ˈɔː.ɡə.naɪˌzeɪ.ʃən/, completion /kəmˈpliː.ʃən/, receptionist /ɹɪˈsɛp.ʃə.nɪst/
- Lange Wörter – auf die Betonung achten: communicate /kəˈmjuːnɪkeɪt/, supervisor /ˈsupɚˌvaɪzɚ/, incredibly /ɪŋˈkɹɛdɪbli/, initiative /ɪˈnɪʃ.ə.tɪv/, organisation /ˈɔː.ɡə.naɪˌzeɪ.ʃən/
Laute, die Deutschsprachigen schwerfallen:
- /w/ — mit runden Lippen, nicht wie das deutsche „w“ (/v/): trustworthy /ˈtɹʌst.wɜː.ði/, worker /ˈwɝ.kɚ/, reward /ɹɪˈwɔɹd/
- Stimmhafter Auslaut — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ am Wortende nicht verhärten: solve /sɒlv/, engage /ɪnˈɡeɪd͡ʒ/, initiative /ɪˈnɪʃ.ə.tɪv/, reward /ɹɪˈwɔɹd/, succeed /səkˈsiːd/
- /æ/ — offener als „ä“: feedback /ˈfiːdˌbæk/, advisor /ædˈvaɪ.zə(ɹ)/, adaptable /əˈdæptəbəl/
So übst du mit diesem Video
- Höre dir das ganze Video einmal an, ohne zu sprechen, und notiere die Wörter, die du nicht kennst.
- Sprich Satz für Satz in normaler Geschwindigkeit nach und wiederhole jeden, bis dein Rhythmus zum Sprecher passt.
- Nimm dich auf und vergleiche mit dem Original; achte dabei auf Wörter wie hire, employer, skill.
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
