This is my first time looking for a job since I turned 50. Should I be worried? Should I dye my grey hair and break out the Botox?

In this episode, Hunter Leonard, founder of Silver and Wise - an organisation that helps mature workers into work - says that yes, we probably will face discrimination, but there's plenty we can do about it.

Check out the Silver and Wise website at: www.silverandwise.com.au

There you'll find a link to Hunter's own podcast program, The Forty Plus Business Show: www.silverandwise.com.au/podcasts.
