Welcome back. Is everybody warm? Thanks for all the sharing love you gave us last week. It worked. There’s a new batch of Next For Me readers and enthusiasts. If you find our newsletter valuable, please forward it to your friends.


Age Bias in Recruitment

Ashley Mercier, a Media Solutions Manager at LinkedIn, wrote an essay on the state of age bias in the recruiting industry. In the story she lays out some of the classic approaches to limit the pool to younger candidates.

She cites a 2014 report by Stanford Center on Longevity, “older workers are their organizations’ pillars: more loyal, better collaborators and more effective mentors.” Link


The Upside to Everything

Theresa Drescher had a vibrant career and big plans for her own company when cancer came knocking. Nineteen years later, and after fifteen years of volunteering on a cancer hotline, she’s learned a lot about managing crises – not just cancer but the foundational stuff that gets in our way no matter what we’re facing. She shares a fun story about confronting her age and new position in the world. Link
