Robert J. Gerberg: Newer Industries Important for Job Seekers with Age Concerns
New York, NY ��� "Millions of people searching for jobs over $50,000 are concerned that their age might be a liability. 65% of people we surveyed whose search was stalled blamed age. One of the things they need to do to offset the fact that they will lose some offers because of age, is to focus on newer growth industries as main targets." Best selling author Robert J. Gerberg explains this in his latest book, The Professional Job Changing System, available hardcover in bookstores nationwide.
"Why is that the case? By their nature smaller growth companies need to hire from other industries to find the talents they need, they don't have large HR departments to screen people out, decision makers are more accessible, and many are managed by younger people who know that adding older people in key positions will bring more balance and experience to their team. If the person is energetic, there is no downside. The book goes into detail on all the things people can do to neutralize the age liability."
"But that's just one helpful point of hundreds in this book, that was written to give job seekers all they need to know to be successful. In the first section people learn how to prepare in a way that gives them advantages. This involves setting the right goals, identifying key phrases, transferable skills and personal strengths to increase their appeal across more industries, writing a resume that pre-sells them to employers, anticipating and neutralizing liabilities ahead of time, and creating a simple, realistic action plan."
"The 2nd section teaches them all about today's job market and how to uncover more openings in all 8 sectors -- both published and unpublished. They learn how to find more openings in the published market of ads, job boards, employer sites and recruiters. To be successful in the unpublished market, where 50% or more of their opportunities will be, they learn several little understood principles they can follow to take the initiative and get considered before a job matures into the published market. The interviewing instructions in the 3rd section are proven in thousands of cases, and the 4th section on personal issues helps people build confidence and maintain enthusiasm."
