Jobseekers: Ageism isn’t just a concern for workers over 50 — millennials are now feeling it too.
A new NewsNation report shows job seekers in their 30s and 40s are trimming their résumés to avoid being screened out, a trend Business Insider calls “résumé Botox.”
The takeaway: employers may say they want experience, but many still filter out candidates who show “too much” of it. If you’re job searching in 2026, strategically curating your last 10 years — and modernizing your LinkedIn — isn’t vanity. It’s positioning.
Worth a read for anyone navigating today’s white‑collar recession.
‘Resume Botox’ and ‘resume age-proofing’ have become new trends among millennials as the job market worsens.
