You have to hide your age "I'm not kidding" anything earlier than 20 years add as prior experience. Good luck. I'm 63 and this is what I was told.

Precise and to the point-Use keywords based on your experience and how you want to be noticed; don't add too much detail since employers goes through so many resumes, make yours stand out. As far as for an older worker, do the same as a regular resume but include the last two or three most recent job history you had.

Don't add dates to your education; one thing I learned during an interview, they ask "since you left college, what have you done in the way of using your degree"? It's an open ended question to how seasoned you are or how old you are. Be careful how you answer.

Keep it simple but full of information, try to downsize to one page, long resumes have a way of hitting the trash faster, save your references with you. Always apply a cover letter. Attachments like that go a long way.

Tell your story. You have tons of house cleaning experience ( for hotels), cooking experience (for any restaurant), customer service (for giving advice to all the people you have consulted in life) childcare experience ( for taking care of children), cash handling, driving, etc. Think outside the box. Just because you haven't been hired by title at a job does not mean you still don't have the skills and you can list the skills. Good luck!
