Older jobseekers have strategies they can follow, while consumer credit counseling may help save for future
By Oscar Monfort on Jun 13th, 2010
Trying to save money for retirement may have gotten more difficult during the recession, as financial products took a hit and the stock market dipped.
As a result, many people may be returning to being employed after period of absence to help make ends meet during their golden years. Recently, Fortune Magazine interviewed Ken Dychtwald - an expert on aging - about strategies for older Americans looking to return to the workforce.
One mistake older people may make is trying to make themselves seem younger, which could include dying their hair or adapting to younger styles and patterns of speech. However, the magazine said mature jobseekers should stress what their age group has to offer.
"Stress your capacity to make smart decisions, your good judgment in managing people, your contributions in brainstorming and business development, and your lifetime connections," Fortune Magazine said. "This is your advantage."
Older people looking for work are also advised to focus on industries that cater to mature clients, which can help accentuate their particular knowledge and skills.
While some people may have to return to the workforce after their retirement income faltered, younger employees may be able to learn a lesson in saving. They may consider consumer credit counseling, which can help them plan for retirement.
