Are you over 50 and considering a new career? This course, based on research and programs developed by AARP, is a guide for people over 50 looking to make a career change, find employment opportunities, or learn strategies that give them the best chance of getting hired. You'll find out how to plan your job search, build your résumés, get ready for interviews, and take maximum advantage of job openings and offers.
We'll begin by taking a realistic look at today's job market to help you identify where your skills and experience will fit. Then you'll focus on yourself—assessing your skills and interests to see how you could use them most effectively as you zero in on job opportunities. You'll use the AARP Foundation's exciting new interest and skills-assessment WorkSearch tool to guide your self-assessment and highlight your best job matches. Then we'll switch gears and start working on your résumés—the critical tool that gets you in the door for an interview. We'll cover all the ins and outs of interviewing, including what questions to expect and what questions you should ask.
By the end of the course, you'll know how your work and life skills can meet the needs of employers who are hiring today. You'll be fully prepared to begin your winning job search!
