The sad thing is that employers laying people off used to pay for this...and I think job seekers are so terrified of their financial position, they lock down all spending regardless of ROI :-(Neil Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15453744260747911733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255177454234597104.post-1077354191349750312014-04-12T19:10:11.790+01:002014-04-12T19:10:11.790+01:00Neil, excellent post!

I would also recommend that for the over-50 job seeker, especially whose job search skills are outdated, look into hiring an outplacement firm or a career coach. These people can shorten one's time on the market, a very good ROI.James E.

But I am almost never approached nor do I see many cvs from this group. I think part of the problem is that it must be a major mind challenge to find the energy to tout your individual potential. <br /><br />Imho there are plenty of opportunities for those you can find the energy and also develop the entrepreneurial approach. Maybe the 50+ group, of which I am a member! need some mentoring or coaching to help deal with those challenges. john hhttp://www.gdpglobal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255177454234597104.post-90766035983523454822014-01-09T18:56:26.998+00:002014-01-09T18:56:26.998+00:00Nice article Neil.

I'm open to their approaches to reapply their skill and experience. john hhttp://www.gdpglobal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255177454234597104.post-60120370622846156402013-12-18T15:40:36.039+00:002013-12-18T15:40:36.039+00:00Hi Diana,
I couldn't agree more. Self-esteem ...Hi Diana,<br /><br />I couldn't agree more. Self-esteem is critical and can crumble surprisingly quickly if positive activity isn't maintained. You are absolutely right I think that the freelancing option is very valuable and has no downsides. Even if it doesn't lead to a permanent full-time job, it's a gateway to a whole new world of self-employed opportunities.Neil Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15453744260747911733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255177454234597104.post-83205391314913653602013-12-17T19:19:33.489+00:002013-12-17T19:19:33.489+00:00Neil,
