This guide gives detailed guidance for older workers on how to keep working beyond the "normal" retirement age. It offers specific techniques for how to: stay active in their current job or create alternative positions with their employers; explore completely new options (part-time or temporary work, voluntary work); re-train themselves to fill growing needs for new skills; create a resume that will maximize a life of hard work; and deal with ageism.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
With baby boomers hitting midlife now and in the next decade, chances are that Ernest Hemingway's "ugliest word in the language"--retirement--will be heard more frequently. This mother-and-daughter team of management consultants parlay their own experiences as older workers into some valuable information for those who can't or simply won't retire. Skip all the chapters about the job search and r{‚}esum{‚}e writing; the most important contribution is the authors' exploration of employer myths, how to overcome them, and the flexibility of various career options, from telecommuting to job sharing. Their lists of answers to inappropriate interview questions, whether blatantly or subtly discriminatory, are well phrased and occasionally spiked with humor. Barbara Jacobs
