Thought for the Moment

Getting Back in the Work Force After 50
Part 1
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2 3

Whether you've been forced into early retirement, downsized, or are tired of being at home and eager to work again, or even taking your first job, entering the work force after the age of 50 can hold some challenges. Here are some tips from someone who coaches a lot of people in this transition.

Focus On Your Skills

Focus on the skills you have, not your deficits. Chances are you've accumulated a great range of talents over the years, particularly people skills. Studies show that Emotional Intelligence generally increases up to the age of 50 or so (Reuven Bar-On, Ph.D.) and EQ includes those "soft skills" so sought after in today's work place.

Your ability to handle stress and handle people can be a great asset.

'Get' What You Don't Have

Don't be intimidated if you haven't had the chance to get computer-proficient. Sign up for courses at the local community college or computer store. People over 50 are the fastest growing segment on the Internet.

You can also read. A friend of mine who had been a school counselor for many years decided to apply for a job as principal. She read as many text books on the subject as she could find before the interview, aced the interview and got the job.

You could also, of course, get an online degree, or a bricks-and-mortar degree, but the possibility exists of doing this on your own time, spending less money and perhaps doing it more rapidly.

Focus On The Plusses

A friend of mine who's 59 applied for a job recently, and both the HR person and the manager she interviewed with asked her - though it's probably not "legal" - if she had children. Clearly this was an office that had experienced difficulties with parents taking time off for their children, and were looking for someone not so encumbered.

Whether or not it's "right" for employers to look at it this way, once your children have left the home, or are grown, driving, self-sufficient and back home, you have an asset to offer. You won't be calling in when the kids are sick, or leaving early to take them for orthodontist appointments, and you can find a way to mention this.

My friend capitalized on this, and she got the job though she'd been out of the work force for three years and was nearly 60. (And at her highest salary to-date.)

The Top 10 Ways to Increase Prosperity
Be grateful for where you are right now. Be grateful for the food on your table, your relationships, your current financial situation, your family, and for all blessings in your life. Say "thank you" more often. We all have the ability to be a channel through which all blessings flow to one another. Make a "Gratitude" journal and write in it every day. Gratitude opens up the world, and life doesn't seem so "limited" anymore. When things don't feel so great, break out your "Gratitude Journal" and read through it. You'll find that you have a lot to be thankful for.
