Studies show that Generation X-ers get hired 33% less often than younger candidates with comparable skills and experience. Even once we do land an interview, there can often be a queasy sense of not quite fitting in -- culturally, if not skills-wise. But we all need to get past the discomfort when encountering someone who is different, whether due to age or any other factor, because studies also show that that a diverse organization is a stronger, more creative organization.
