Retirement Planning? . . . How About an Exciting New Job?
And you thought you were all finished with work. But retirement
planning these days includes so many diverse options. And one of
them is to find a retirement job.
If you're leaning in that direction because you just can't see
yourself hanging up your work shoes . . . or perhaps you wish to
work for financial security . . . well, there are some fabulous
opportunities just tailor made for your situation.
The good news is that many companies value having retirees on
their workforce. They're experienced, loyal, committed, on time
and get along well with others. What employer wouldn't salivate
to have someone like that on board?
If you've decided to explore some retirement work opportunities,
whether full-time or part-time, there are five benchmarks you
can use to check out in advance to determine if an employment
situation makes sense for you. That way you can be sure you'll
wind up in an environment that's comfortable and productive.
1. Health benefits. The best companies offer subsidies for
eldercare, tax-free health accounts, wellness programs and
insurance coverage for part-time workers.
2. Recruiting. Forward-looking employers target diverse age
groups. They seek out older workers, rehire retirees, and
actively retain their older workers.
3. Pension plans. Defined-benefit plans, stock options, profit
sharing, incentive programs . . . all these are signals that
you're dealing with an age-friendly
organization.
4. Training and development. The very best employer provides
career counseling, refresher courses, as well as mentoring and
coaching opportunities.
5. Alternative work arrangements. Flexible workplaces with
seasonal schedules, shift options, telecommuting, leave for
care-giving. In other words, do they engage older workers on
their own terms?
Now, where do you find such high-quality employment
opportunities?
For openers you might take a look at the Nov/Dec issue (2005) of
AARP Magazine. They list a number of companies that meet these
high-quality specifications.
On the other hand, if you haven't been in the job market
recently, you must understand that things have changed
dramatically, especially since 9/11 and Katrina.
To succeed in today's job marketplace you need to dump the
old-fashioned ways of finding a job and discover the exciting
alternative and non-traditional strategies that can guarantee
you a high-paying job in as little as 14 days!
With these innovative techniques you can be sure your retirement
job search planning will lead to the career adventure of a
lifetime!
