Finding a Full Time Job as a Senior
Finding
a full time job, when you are a senior, is not always
easy. Despite laws against age discrimination, prejudices
are hard "kill". But, many employers have
realized, that the reliability, experience and dedication
to the job of senior employees outweighs most of the
popular prejudices.They have come to realize the valued
resource, which not so long ago, was left on the
sidelines, is a great asset to any company.
Organizations
like AARP and some others,
have realized the assets of Seniors long ago and have
noted employers, that are especially willing to engage
senior employees, calling them "Senior
Friendly Employers". Below is a list of
some of these employers. Apply to them, when you look for
a full time position.
The
companies below offer in most instances the

Although, the current economic crisis has
led to some store closings and a loss of jobs, especially
in the financial and retail markets, there are still
opportunities in most areas. Retail for instance has
generally a high staff turnover and well trained people
are always welcome! Retail jobs also have the
advantage of being locally available.
Available
jobs in retail are salespeople, cashiers, counter
clerks, purchasing and buyers, merchants, administrative
support, pharmacists skilled artisans, maintenance.
Retail jobs often have flexible hours including weekend
and late evening work.

Staffing
and Employment Agencies
Staffing
and employment agencies are a good source for full time
employment. Although, the number of jobs offered is
nowhere near those in retail, the average staffing office
has between 5 and 20 employees.
|
The
employment skills would require good
salesmanship, the ability to interview people and
to relate to employers as well as employees.
Obviously, if you arrive with a human resources
background, you have a "headstart".
Salaries are often directly linked to performance
bonuses and are therefore highly variable. The
recruitment industry has generally a fairly high
staff turnover. |
If you do not want to work for a
staff agency, you can obviously also use them to
find you a job, either as a temporary or
permanent employee. |
