CareerCon | The Job Hunt Summit for Professionals 40+

You're seasoned and can't get anywhere in your job search. We're helping you find fresh ways to land the interviews and the job.
About this Event

CareerCon is a full-day experience for professionals over 40 who want fresh new strategies and a competitive edge in today’s job market, realizing that ageism can be at play in some instances and the competition is tight.

Who’s this for

Professionals over 40 jobs seeking, pivoting, staying competitive where you are, or looking at other income opportunities like entrepreneurship, this event gives you the tools and clarity to move forward.

Here’s what we know:

According to AARP, 78% of workers 45+ have seen or experienced age discrimination. This may just be you and the average job search takes significantly longer once you hit 50. And "overqualified" is often just code for something else entirely (and we know what sometimes).
