Job Hunting After 55
Finding Meaningful And Fulling Work
This site is targeted at professionals, 55 or older, looking for a suitable job. Below is the macro environment we are living in:
The prices of goods and services are rapidly increasing.
Job security is evaporating. Established and startup companies often go out of business. Reorgs happen.
New Industries are forming, established industries are transforming or disappearing. Whole classes of jobs are disappearing or the skills requirements are evolving; secretaries, truck drivers, factory workers, lawyers, middle management, etc..
Work hours and the definition of the workplace are fluid.
Electronic monitoring in our personal and work lives is commonplace.
Wage growth is not keeping up with inflation.
Fewer companies offer company funded retirement plans.
These factors are pushing many of us to work later in life. Retirement funds may not enough to maintain our standard of living. However, If we keep honing your employable skills, actively seek out employment opportunities that are good fits for our skills and interests, stay active, take care of our mental and physical health and stay positive, we can find meaningful and fullfilling work.
