How Can I Find Work For Retirees?
Are you looking for some tips on how to find work for retirees
?
Are you a senior citizen, or real close to it? Do you want to get yourself a job and make some money? What is your core reason to find employment?
Are you running short of discretionary cash by the end of each month and are learning that living on a fixed income can be tough?
Pensions and government checks are nice and steady. But they rarely grow in size.
Are you game to make the leap into the employment arena with both feet?
Then welcome to the wonderful world of work for retirees! I am not being frivolous about this. The employment of people goes on, and there is a growing need of work for retirees.
But to find the perfect fit for you, and the best employer for you, will require an investment of time and effort on your part.
The ranks of the unemployed seem to be increasing each month. Many individuals have removed themselves from the effort even to find employment.
Business must go on and companies continue working, and they do need indidual employees to do things.
The manner in which seniors now package their skills and offer them to prospective employers has changed.
Yes, I mean packaging.
In the past, part and parcel of hiring on to draw a paycheck from a business included close scrutiny of benefits provided also.
Today, the benefits are dwindling to next to nothing, and in many cases are in reality, nothing.
It may be necessary to inform the prospective employers that you have self provided benefits, like medical insurance.
The president's healthcare program, if enacted, will perhaps alter this fact of life. But, for now, self provided benefits will play a role in your actually qualifying for work for retirees.
The marketplace continues to provide increasing work for retirees.
They may not fit the mold of jobs in the past, but they are employment making real paychecks, working for real businesses.
If you have read my words in the past, then you know your first step in the job hunt is to decide on the work you want to do. Yes, your idea of the job you want is important.
Don't sell yourself short. Go for the work you really desire to do.
Then make a list of the specific employers you want to approach for work for retirees. The most successful approach for many seniors is to present themselves as applying for a part time job. Then they can elaborate to the prospective employer the advantages to the business of hiring them in this capacity.
This approach appeals to many employers because it fills a need they have, and yet they have not even decided to hire for.
Keep in mind that you will not find employers in this position placing ads in the newspapers.
Key to this are your talents and your past work experience.
Add the time you spend researching possible businesses that need your skills, and your preparation of both a verbal and written presentation.
Keep in mind that you are marketing the business of you, be persistent and you can get a great job for yourself.
Work for retirees is a productive field if approached properly, take advantage of it and be persistent!
