Older adults from all walks of lifeare returning to the workforce—orjoining it for the first time. Manyemployers value older workers’knowledge, maturity and workethic, but finding a job can bedifficult, particularly for adults overage 50. Studies show that enteringor re-entering the workforce at laterages is more difficult than atyounger ages. Older adults,however, have something thatyounger workers do not have:experience. Even if you have notbeen steadily employed, you havepicked up transferable skills just byliving your life. If you are an olderadult who has not applied for a jobin many years, this guide provides aframework for you to increase yourodds of finding employment.KNOWING YOURSELF AND

YOUR SKILLSStart by taking an inventory of theskills and experience you haveacquired through jobs and activitiesin your life. Work, parenting,hobbies, part-time and seasonalwork, volunteering—all requireskills that can be readily applied tothe employment you seek. Describethe main duties for each activityand list the skills you used toaccomplish them, then think abouthow these skills could apply to a jobthat interests you. For example,If you know how to...A. Develop a budgetB. Care for children or relativesC. Organize a community eventD. Weatherproof your homeYour transferable skills mightinclude...A. Basic accounting, officemanagementB. Care giving, customer serviceC. Organizational skills, eventplanningD. Conducting energy audits and

other “green services”PRESENTING YOURSELF

Target yourpotential employers’ needs in yourapplication, résumé and interview.In WritingWhether you submit a résumé orcomplete an application, tailor it tothe position—when it comes torésumés, one size does not fit all.Use words from the job description,if there is one. It is important todescribe your skills in a way tomotivate the employer to interviewyou. Many companies requireapplications to be submitted online.If your computer skills are weak,find someone to help you fill outand submit your online application.Résumé TipsWrite a summary of your skills andexperience targeted to the

requirements of the job. Emphasizeexperience within the last 10 to 15years. Keep information brief andto the point.Mention volunteer work, trainingand certifications only if pertinentto the position.

“HONOR”A thoughtabout

Lao Tzu once said, “Fail to honorpeople, they fail to honor you. Butof a good leader, who talks little,when his work is done, his aimfulfilled, they will all say, ‘We didthis ourselves.’” But just how do you honorpeople? A good leader listens tothe people who work for him orher. And good leaders take whatthe people are telling themseriously. If workers come up withgood ideas, good leaders use theirpower to implement thesuggestion-and then they givecredit to the person whose idea itwas. Good leaders take the blamethemselves when mistakes aremade, but they pass out praise andcredit when something is achievedand give the credit to the peoplewho work for them. Follow this small bit of wisdom,and you’ll likely find that youhave loyal workers who trulyhonor you and will probably bewilling to go to the ends of theEarth for you, because it’s a sadfact that few leaders understandthis important principle.
