Peter Cappelli of the Wharton School recommended that job applicants older than 50 assure younger managers that they’re comfortable with the power dynamic. “The big thing to keep in mind is that the person supervising you or making the hiring decision may well be younger than you are, and insecure about supervising someone with more experience,” he said. “So it is important to let them know you are OK with the role you're applying for, that you don't want their job and that you are expecting to take direction from them.”
