Dear James

- James Innes, best-selling careers author and founder of The CV Centre, solves your work problems...

DOES age matter? I worry that if I include my age on my CV I will be discriminated against because employers won't want me in my 50s. I have worked all my life in admin roles for various companies and took voluntary redundancy last year. Since then I have struggled to get an interview. How do I make prospective employers see that my age can be an advantage not a hindrance? James, 50, West Sussex
