Seasoned Advice for Mature Workers by Linda K. Rolie, M.A., CVC - Oct, 2012 A significantly growing population of job hunters, and those who are landing jobs, is between the ages of 55 to 71 (and beyond).

There are mature workers who are far from elder status but feel they are discriminated against due t... |

Networking Strategies for the Career Changer by Heather Mundell - Oct, 2012 My client, Megan, is in her late 40s and wants to change careers. The jobs Megan is considering to target are not easily found online. She's unsure of what are the most common job titles that are most relevant for her to pursue and how to tap into job openings (or whether there even are job openings). I've said this before: changing careers is not for the faint of heart or the person who's in a big rush! Megan, however, is m... |

If so, you are in good company. A Mercer’s What’s Working™ survey last year, conducted over two quarters, included 2,400 workers in the U.S. They found, “nearly one in three (32%) U.S. workers is seriously considering leaving his or her organization at the present time, up sharply from 23% in ... |

As long as you are just meeting to get information and aren't asking for a job, people are usually willing to say yes to a request if their schedule permits.

Is It Your Boss That's Bad, or Are You Just Hard to Get Along With? by Heather Mundell - Oct, 2012 In my former life, I was an HR director. HR folks can be a cautious, cynical bunch. Reason #1 - they are the legal front line when things go south with employees. Reason #2 - they've seen a lot of bizarre and bad behavior at work (and they're called in to help deal with it). I inadvertently had my HR hat on when I read What to Do If Your Boss Is the Problem on the Wall Street Journal online. It's a good article with... |

What to Do When You're Overwhelmed by Too Many Career Ideas by Heather Mundell - Oct, 2012 Many of the people who hire me as their coach aren't struggling with a lack of career options. Rather they are stuck because they have too many ideas and don't know where to start to narrow them down. This reminds me of a story a friend of mine told me who moved from the U.S. to New Zealand for a year.

For those involved in an active job search, the use of SNS has become part and parcel of their efforts. If you don’t have a com... |

The independent workforce has grown to 16.9 million from 16 million in the past year, according to research by MBO Partners, which provides business services to consultants. As companies realize that they can hire contractors for certain services instead of paying for full-time workers, more people will find themselves becoming freelancers, either by choice or by necessity. ... |
