From "botoxing" your resume to starting and improving your website or blog to updating your wardrobe, Mandell shares the secrets that will get mid-career job seekers noticed and on the payroll.

Unfortunately, getting older can be a career killer. That's what entertainment journalist Lisa Johnson Mandell discovered when she sent out a resume that made her sound like an aged veteran. Her new career makeover guide—expanded from the Wall Street Journal article about revamping her "older" image to land her dream job—acknowledges that experience matters, but looking and acting up-to-date matter just as much.

Mandell provides ten strategies for putting a youthful spin on resumes, Web pages, and personal presentation, and explains why looking young and staying technologically current is crucial to competing in an increasingly tough job market.
