Job Search Tips for Workers Over 40, ELKHART
Date/Time:  9/8/2011  10:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Location:  WorkOne Elkhart County, 430 Waterfall Drive, ELKHART, Indiana  46516

embers of the 40-plus Boomer Gen- eration may face steeper challenges than other job seekers, but in many cases, you may have more of the at- tributes sought by employers: not only in workplace experience but also in under-standing a vital area — soft skills.

A key topic of this workshop is how to deliver your resume and conduct an in- terview in a manner that shows all your experience without emphasizing age.

Here are some hints: attitude is a very important factor; and make sure you show enthusiasm for today's technology, such as email and the Internet. If you're a bit uneasy about computer-based tech- nology, WorkOne offers free courses to boost your computer skills.  REMEMBER:  Attitude matters!

Members of the Boomer Generation might have significant, and important, work experience to offer employers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Boomers may face hurdles in a job search, but they also could offer more to an employer.Using skills developed over the course of a career, boomers can fit nicely in various workplaces.
