Description

As the average age of our society steadily increases, the ability to find employment decreases. In this one-of-a-kind book, Betsy Cummings shows older people how they can go about finding quality employment in a shrinking workplace. As workers get older many of them look to take on new careers to alleviate boredom, pay the bills or simply to explore new options. This book details how to look for a new job and also gives hand-on tips on how to gain the necessary experience and how to handle the transition back to the workplace after a long absence. Along the way, Cummings provides solid, practical advice on how to re-write a resume for today's job market, how to prepare for a job interview, especially when the interviewer may be 25 years younger than you are and how to make plans that will make that dream job a reality.
