I have a good friend and mentor who has been facing a lot of ageism in the job search process despite her incredible background and decades of experience in executive leadership, community building, and strategy management.

I have a good friend and mentor who has been facing a lot of ageism in the job search process despite her incredible background and decades of experience in executive leadership, community building, and strategy management. Does anybody have insight into companies who value older workers and/or are looking for executive leadership to help build communities and/or lead strategy? She is an incredible and emotionally intelligent leader who any woman would be lucky to work for!

    Have her look into government and academic jobs.
    Money isn't going to be as good most of the time, but benefits are solid and in my experience they are way more likely to respect the positive side of having older staff. My husband is 70, working for a state agency for the past 6 years, and his new boss (outside hire) is 67. I work for a university and my last 3 hires were in their 40s.
