Where Can You Find Employment For Senior Citizens? by Raymond Angus

Are you trying to locate employment for senior citizens? Is it for yourself?  Has the staggering economy scared you?

Are your carefully laid plans for a pleasant tour, although perhaps not  royal, through your golden years seem to be stalling? Will employment for senior  citizens be the answer to your dilemma?

You are not alone? The same feeling is infecting your senior citizen neighbor  next door, your sixty year old friend down at the retirement center, your old  buddy in the bowling league and your aging sister in Buffalo.

The truth is, you have options! We all do. Too often, we seniors tend to feel  betrayed by our government and left to fend for ourselves at the mercy of an  indifferent panicking society. Scrub away those thoughts!

You are no different than the forty old accountant that was cut loose by his  business firm, or the thirty five year old new car salesman who is left to his  own devices. You are just older than them, but you have a lot more going for you  than they do. Most of their experiences and trained talents and skills are still  down the road in front of them. Yours are spread out in a panorama behind  you.

Look back at your life. Now is the best of times for you to make the things  you have learned over the years put you up in front of the growing crowd of  employment seekers. If you were to write down all you have experienced, dealt  with, learned from, overcame, and grown from, it would fill an entire library  shelf.

Do you think that from all of this knowledge and living you can find some  things that would increase the performance and productivity of an employers  business.

Do you realize that the sum of all your hands on training and acquired  talents and skills would be of great value to some employer?

There are wheelbarrow loads of gold nuggets kicking around in your head, my  friend. Grab hold of a few of them and transform them into that perfect job you  are now dreaming about.

It is not as hard to accomplish this as you may think!

Here is a valuable gem of knowledge and fact that should stir up the juices  inside of you.

Most vacant employment positions are not even advertised! Whoa! What does  this tell you?

There is no competition for these jobs outside of word of mouth. Why? There  are many reasons why this is so.

Maybe the job has not been defined by the manager yet, he knows that the need  exists but what will he call it? You can step in and give him a definition. Do  some advance homework.

A harried business owner is overworked and wishing for a fairy godmother to  wave her wand and provide the perfect assistant. Check out the company and tell  him how much easier you can make his life, and earn him more profit as a  byproduct.

You read an item in the newspaper, or saw it on the TV news, about a business  making substantial growth spurts. That is your cue!

Call the company and inform them all the things you can do for them, and let  them know you will be stopping by tomorrow, would he or she have time to spend a  few moments with you.

Where can you look for employment for senior citizens? In your own head! Take  advantage of your own experience and skills.

There are jobs out there waiting for you. Be creative and bold. It will  happen!
