The Conversation That Demands Action
The recent GREEN conversation sparked by Robert Walsh and the incredible response to Stuart Neilson's practical guidance prove one truth: Ageism is real, but so is the fierce determination of Individuals who refuse to be defined by a number.
My Collaborator and Resource, Stuart Neilson, delivered a fantastic checklist addressing this challenge. I, as an Aspiring Professional at 69 who holds that "work is my prayer, love and mad of work plus more," want to amplify his message and add the critical mindset shift that transforms this list into a Thought Leadership Strategy—the core of your LinkedIn Content Pillar.
The Shocking Truth Behind "Overqualified"
The conversation sparked by Robert Walsh proved that the term "Overqualified" is often just code for bias. This is the Shocking Truth the market hides.
As an Aspiring Professional and an Authority still actively delivering value, I confirm this struggle. But I’m here to tell you: Never Say "Overqualified" Again. You are not a liability; you are a solution. The key is shifting your mindset and strategically presenting your value.

Experience is Your Ultimate POS System
Let's understand our value. My core philosophy, rooted in professional ethics, honesty, and integrity, dictates that "work is my prayer, love, and madness of work plus more."
Our age isn't a long history; it's a Hyper Market POS System (Personal Social Responsibility) by Allah. It counts the experience gained and the growing bills we have to pay to society, our job providers, and family. The greater the age, the greater the Personal SR commitment to contribute.
At 69 (my age), this dedication yields an Irrefutable market advantage: emotional intelligence, resilience, and proven performance. This is the Untapped Power that Crushes ageism.
Use These 7 Irrefutable Rules to Instantly Beat Ageism
Drawing inspiration from Stuart Neilson's practical guidance, here are the 7 Irrefutable Rules to make your experience of the System the market cannot ignore:
Rule 1: Modernize Your Brand & Lead with Value
Stop detailing every past job. Focus on the last 10 years and frame your experience around what you deliver today: growth, transformation, culture. Your story must be forward-looking.
Rule 2: Showcase Digital Fluency (Instantly)
Nothing counters age bias faster than demonstrating Tech Fluency. Be visibly comfortable with AI, data, and collaboration tools. Show you are a lifelong learner committed to continuous development.
Rule 3: Master the "Revenue to the Organ" Story
Refuse to discuss pay first. Emphasize that you are driven by purpose and generating revenue for the business, the blood to the organ. Use your experience to show you can solve complex problems related to sales, marketing, and loyalty.
Rule 4: Activate Your Network with Empathy
Activate your Community (trusted peers, ex-colleagues) not by selling, but by reconnecting and sharing what you are exploring next. Use empathy and collaboration to build strong relationships.
Rule 5: Target Purpose-Driven Opportunities
Stop applying everywhere. Target companies seeking maturity, stability, and mission-driven roles (scale-ups, PE-backed ventures). This aligns your Personal SR with the company's needs.
Rule 6: The "Overqualified" Rebuttal
If called "overqualified," make it clear you are seeking an opportunity space seeker to grow big like a shark—a space to contribute to global issues like Zero Unemployment, not just climb a corporate ladder.
Rule 7: Keep Learning, Publicly (The Cornerstone)
This is the most critical rule. Take a new course (especially in emerging tech/leadership) and launch your certification publicly. It signals curiosity and proves your adaptability, instantly neutralizing the bias of being "stuck in your ways."
We are not "done yet." We are the Blueprint-Provider and the System that organizations need to strengthen their future.
