Book Description
Here's timely job-finding assistance for millions of America's "50ish" workers. In this irreverent, myth-busting book, career expert Bob Weinstein shows older workers what it takes to find and hold onto the most important thing in most people's lives-- gainful employment. Resumes, networking, interviews--this is the only book that tells older job seekers how the new job market works. This upbeat, positive guide tells it like it is and drives home a proven fact: older workers are an undervalued and untapped asset employers have yet to use meaningfully. The author reveals the latest trends, statistics, and hidden opportunity for 50-plus job-hunters. Plus how to overcome job-related anxiety and crippling inertia, read the employment landscape, negotiate a salary, and fine-tune interviewing skills.
