How to Find a Job and Survive over 40 (Nov.)

How to Find a Job and Survive Over 40

Introduction

In job interviews, are you often told you are "too experienced" or "too senior"? Does your resume read like a retirement dinner testimonial? Being out of a job takes a heavy toll on one’s finances, self-esteem and family.

If you are over 40 and especially if you are over 50, you know that people do discriminate in their hiring practices. Hard to prove, but it is true. Younger people are cheaper and easier to place as there are perceptions that older people are harder to manage, don’t listen, follow directions, etc.. You have heard all the excuses.

Change the employers view from "looking at everything I’ve done" to "look at everything that I can do for you" at this special CareerCross seminar. Learn how to get a job and what you can do from tomorrow and make yourself employable and in demand.

Our speaker, Ken Koike, has:
1) Been fired and hired three times since turning 50 years old
2) Plumbed the depths of unemployment for over a year and been under employed for over six months 
3) Experienced personal bankruptcy and severe depression

And is now HAPPY, SUCCESSFUL and PASSIONATE about life.
Hear and learn from his experience to change your life.
