What kind of senior citizen employment do you want for yourself? Have you set any goals on what businesses you desire to work for? Start your list today!

Why? Why do you want a job?

Is your social security, and maybe your pension, shrinking? Are they falling to such levels versus costs of living that you are forced to redefine your necessities, and qualities of life?

Is worrying about the vulnerability of Medicare and overall healthcare cutting into your sleep?

Is this is your motivation? Is senior citizen employment the best plan to follow?

Then why not toss another painful spike into your personal quiz grilling. What in the world do you think you have to offer some business employer?

What do you have of value that would make him, or her, give you a paycheck on a regular basis for chunks of your time?

Come on now, fess up! Isn't this last question what you keep pounding yourself with?

I am here to tell you my friend, that you have something of such value that empires have been lost for the lack of it.


Wars have been waged and lost for lack of it, and many lives have been sacrificed for the absence of its use in making action plans.

What do you have in such abundance that it gushes out of your ears? Try this on for size! You are a repository of insightful experience.

You were probably aware of this to some extent already. But do you have any idea of its value in the workplace?

Consider a business that was forced to shift gears in production of an in house designed product.

What if the employees were having difficulties coping and adapting to the vital changes on such short notice.

Do you think you can handle that because something just like that happened in your past experience?

What if a large store deemed it was necessary to stay profitable by shifting its sales focus onto a brand new line of goods.

But what if it didn't have personnel on staff having the experience vital to changing presentations and knowledgeable usage of the new product?

Could you help because something like that came up in your past one day and you took care of it?


A small sales company found itself immersed in a fabulous growth of business?

The office staff was flooded and the old system they were using become incapable of handling the influx of orders. The computers were too slow and obsolete.

A senior resident in a local retirement home, phoned the head of the company and offered him a lifeline.

The senior retiree and several of his buddies at the retirement home, men and women, had spent their business lives in sales and office procedures.

They helped the company design a new computer program and system. The sales company hired them on the spot.

They were so effective that the President of the company hired them and kept them on the payroll. They instructed his present employees on the effective use of the system and the computers.

These are not rare happenings. These are common occurences today, especially in the expanding economy that we have now.

Decide what type of job you want. Write down some of your work experiences on a sheet of paper. Keep an eye open on what is transpiring in businesses around you.

When you see something that seems ready made for your experience. Go for it! Big league baseball players only have to get a hit three times out of ten and they become stars.

Believe in your real value, and become your own star!
