Book Overview

When you--re 50 or 60 years old, the job market is a combat zone, no matter what your skills or experience. Battle-scarred veterans report that they're passed over time and again for jobs which they are eminently qualified for. Successful applicants, often with fewer skills and almost always with far less experience, do seem to have one significant thing in common-they are younger, sometimes painfully younger. There was a time, not that long ago,...

Great book for boomers

I bought this book last week and have already read it from start to finish. It's the best book on careers for us baby boomers that I've found. I'm a guy who's been in the same job for fifteen years. I hate job-hunting and anyway, and with the economy down, I've been trying to maximize my retirement income. "Finding a Job After 50" is different from the other books I've read because it makes you think about how you feel and what you want, not just how to get a job. It's got very good advice on the job market but the main thing is doing what you really want to do. Although I've seen some of the info in other books, I found a lot that was different. For example, there's a good section about interviewers and what they're thinking when they interview an older applicant. When I came online to write this review, I noticed that another one's been posted. It says something about the book being insulting. It sure didn't insult me! It seems to know right where I'm coming from. I'm not completely burned out but I'm sure bored with my job and ready for a change. One of the things I liked best was a list of questions to pin down what you're really looking for. The idea behind the list is that boomers know themselves better than when they were younger and they've been changing. I'm thinking about starting a small business of my own and maybe moving west. Of course, these are just ideas and I need to do a lot of thinking but reading the book has made me feel like being a little more adventurous.
