Finding A Job Over 50? Tough In This Economy!

With so many job sites automatically weeding out anyone over 'a certain age' where can you look for a job? Why not go to a site where employers post jobs when they WANT to hire retirees? Yes, that's right, there is such a thing.  Who knew? Just head over to RetirementJobs.com where they not only list jobs, they give tips on how to land them.

What are employers saying about using Retirement Jobs?

“Your site is really a great management tool and it is an easy way to review and add notes and organize groups…. The candidates coming in are also highly qualified with rich life experiences that fit our job profile. …I find that the candidates applying are adept at the computer, well educated and have a rich profile that matches our coaching needs. Thanks again for providing such a great resource.”
- Deb Sundal, Director of Program Services, United Healthcare

and

“RetirementJobs.com's certification gives RHI credibility with candidates. We only use RJC and AARP for this market. They have the highest customer service. We ask them to include us in all the press they get .” - Camille Grabowski, Robert Half International

How about consumers? Are they happy with this site?

“You are a Godsend - what a super idea -- someone catering to those of us who have early retired but don't really want to retire totally. Brilliant concept! I have recently retired from education after a rewarding 36 years but I am, by no means, ready to stop working! I want to give back but I also want to be paid for my knowledge & skills. I am passing your website on to all my colleagues who have recently retired from education -- we are a growing number -- as you well know (& most of us are under 60 & very much wanting to continue in the work force)! Thanks so much for providing us with a resource to do just that. It is great to feel valued.”

About a month ago I visited your site and noted a local Fortune 500 Company looking for retiree part-time employees. I applied using you post resume function and I begin work this Tuesday. Your site is the real deal.

So it seems everyone is happy with the services provided by Retirement Jobs' website. They maintain an 'A' rating with the Better Business Bureau. And part of the site is free (don't you love that word?) but even the Premium Service is not going to break the bank at a reasonable $4.95 per month. (Less for longer memberships!)

Premium members get a free review of their resume, a list of 'age friendly certified' employers, a discount on career services such as resume writing, Kaplan University, career coaching, and personal customer service, online workshops geared toward the 'over 50' job hunter, and they provide their work at home guide, which their experts have reviewed and found are legitimate organizations. You have to agree the minimal cost provides you with maximum return! And it's tax deductible if you itemize your taxes as a job hunting expense.
