Hi Rana, how does Nokia assess applicants in their early 50s for senior manager roles? Does relevant experience carry more weight than age? I am in my early 50s with extensive telco experience, but my resume isn’t gaining traction

    Dear Anonymous, thank you for reaching out to me and your question.

    At Nokia, candidates are assessed based on the relevance of their skills, experience, capabilities, and potential to succeed in the role. Age is not a factor in our hiring decisions.

    For senior management positions, hiring teams typically focus on how closely a candidate's experience aligns with the requirements of the role, their track record of delivering results, leadership capabilities, and the value they can bring to the business. .

    If your applications have not been gaining traction, it may be worth revisiting how your CV highlights the experience that is most relevant to the specific roles you are applying for. Tailoring your résumé to clearly showcase key achievements, leadership experience, and skills that match the job requirements can often make a significant difference.

    I hope this provides some helpful context, and I wish you the very best in your job search.

    Kind regards,
    Rana
