What Should I Watch Out For When Changing Careers?

Changing careers is always challenging. It grows even more challenging as you get older. What can you do to help smooth the way with potential employers?

Jen asks:

I'm changing careers in my mid-30s, from management/admin to programming. From the perspective of an employer, what are the pros and cons of hiring a career-changing not-young person? Specifically, how can I frame it so that my resume isn't passed over because of these factors?

Yes, ageism, sexism, racism, all-the-isms are illegal, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
