Senior jobs: older workers adding value

Dear readers and job-seekers, 69% of workers over age 55 plan to work beyond retirement, making 50-plus folks one of the fastest growing labor groups in the US. They're supplementing retirement income, working in jobs that inspire them, and starting new careers. I found some good information and resources to help with that, including some ways to rethink current careers, brought to you by Cornell University:

  • 26% of employers would allow older employees to reduce hours while not changing your benefits
  • 40% of employers would allow pension benefits to be drawn while you work part time
  • 3 out of 4 companies would permit you to reduce your hours rather than go to full retirement

Other options include:

There's a lot of information to keep organized when you're looking for work, making lists, and staying on track. We at Office Online have all kinds of templates, for just about everything: inventories, calendarsfamily reuinions, holidays, you name it!

Despite the dismal state of the economy, HR needs to get on board with the “senior” workforce. As I apply for different positions, I often hear I have “too much experience.” What a load of crap, in reality they think I will be bored or be brain dead on the job. Every day I continue to learn and contribute, bringing positive energy to the workplace.

Unemployment is a worldwide scenario. Government will have to focus in providing more stable jobs with high cost of salary. I want to help.
