Here’s a summary of our tips for workers aged 55 and up:

1. Don’t wait to be laid off to look for a new job.
2. If you have been laid off, do a little soul-searching before deciding your next move.
3. “Dumb down” your resume.
4. Put personal networking first.
5. Target companies where the leadership skews older.
6. Be patient.
