Finding Work After 50
Losing your job or changing careers later in life can be both terrifying and exciting. There are so many questions; Should I look for work in the same field or should I try something new? Are my tech skills adequate for today’s labour market? Will an employer hire someone like me who’s getting close to retirement age?
Keeping your cool and using some new strategies can make the experience fun and rewarding. You can get the foot in the door by making a few simple tweaks to your resume and modernizing your approach to job search.
What is Labour Market Research?
Labour Market Research will tell you not only who is hiring, but can also tell you what to expect for wages, advancement policies, benefits, and job expectations. Labour Market Research will tell you if the company runs shifts, if employees are expected to be on call, or if the work is seasonal. You can find out what skills you will need to enter a new position, qualifications or certificates you might need, where you can get any required training, and how much it will cost for that training.
DUMB Goals
Having a goal, possessing a sense of direction, gives us meaning in our lives. This meaning validates our existence and gives us a sense of worth. It gives us hope for the future and a belief that we can achieve our goals.
