Information and Advice Pages for Senior Job Seekers

Jobs4seniors does not endorse any of these sites, though, it might comment on what they offer. Giving advice is often a difficult task. Especially, when people are under stress. Many people, under stress, only want to hear the things that enforce their existing point of view.

Consequently, we have assembled a list of sites that give advice to job seekers. Not only to seniors, but to everyone looking for a job. Although, seniors may have special needs and requirements, these are covered elswhere, such as through AARP or retirementjobs and, we do not want to repeat their information.

Use and select what you think is useful for your particular circumstances. There are also many books available through amazon.com. Our own Self Assessment and Self Evaluation Page should also be of help to you.

The Internet is a fast moving environment. Since we have started this site, the number of advice sites that have disappeared has reached at least 60%. Now, economic stress will take a further tole and some valuable advice will go lost. One of the downsides of the Internet is that many users want things for free, not realizing, that someone has to work on providing them.
