I would appreciate some intelligent advice about job hunting after age 50?

The most important thing is to make sure your skills match or exceed those of your competition. Attitude plays a huge part in getting a job when you are older. On the most part, your supervisors will be young and, although they may not have the experience you do, they will still be in the decision making position. If you don't have an "I'm the old guy/gal here and know how it "should" be done" you'll be fine. Only give advice, voice concern, be the grown-up when it is solicited. Yes, your CV will count, make sure that you don't go back so far that you appear over qualified. Take time before the interview to learn about the demographic of the company and their customer base. Learn the language of the company and what their marketing strategies are (if a company is heavy into social media and you don't know squat about it you're going to be in a hard spot in the interview process). It's really not that hard, forget your age and focus on all the great things you can bring to the table with the right company.
