In a market where many are in transition and looking for new jobs, optimizing the interview experience is important.
Generally, those chosen for an interview have what it takes to do the job; the challenge faced by all, then, is how to favorably standout from other qualified candidates.
What sets an interviewee apart from others who do the routinely proper interview things -- such as arriving on time and preparing relevant questions?

It includes issues of particular interest to the 50+ demographic, such as an employer’s concern about the value of a job in the life of a prospective older employee, and how that issue may be approached in an interview.
