Older Workers Like Work
Gee whiz! I never thought I would have to look for a jobagain, but I do. Funny that no one taught or told me that savings don’t last forever. I’m in that “pickle!” Besides savings running out, I feel better working! That idea goes again the grain of American culture. People of a certain age are encouraged to find fun things to do and not work at a job! Work is an American dirty word! But I want to feel productive, make money, be around younger folks and have some fun times at WORK.
Heck, I don’t have time to think about the culture I live in. I’m older and I need a job!
What can I do to find a job to do? Before I get started in looking for a job, I’m just plain scared that no one will hire me. I’ve heard lots of stories about age discriminationand I don’t want to look for a job where someone will tell me that I’m over-qualified, just to get rid of me because I’m old.
I know it only takes one employer to hire me, not half a dozen at once, but I may have to see more than I thinkis my share of talking to employers to find something! How can I do...
