Description: Many baby boomers are seeking to stay in the workforce longer and are looking for satisfying, fulfilling jobs. This book is a step- by-step guide to finding and winning the sort of job most likely to give job satisfaction and success. It sets out how older workers are often valued in the workplace because of their experience, skills, reliability and sense of responsibility before going on to show how to demonstrate these qualities to prospective employers.  It encourages people to adopt a pro-active, 'self-employed' approach, building self- esteem and promoting a time-efficient, self-managed job search program.  --Publisher's description.
