When applying as a candidate of the age group over 50, you should emphasise your strengths. There may be many of these, for example:
Experience
You have a wealth of experience that younger people usually do not have. This background creates a self-confidence that helps you to find a new challenge. You know what you can do and what you want.
Reputation and network
In the course of your professional life you have already been able to collect a number of references. You have an extensive and resilient network that could possibly be an advantage for a new employer.
Clarity
You can specify your ideas, strengths, interests and values. If your ideas coincide with those of the company, you will find together.
