Summary of Robin Ryan's Over 40 & You're Hired!

Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 You will need to adapt to secure the job you want. The job market has become extremely competitive for workers over 40. Today, employers seek talented employees, but they are also concerned about whether you are up to doing the job and providing them with a good value for their money. #2 It should be noted that age discrimination in the workplace exists. #3 The more experienced you are, the more likely you are to be hired. HR managers noted that bosses and organizations expect employees to be dedicated to, and focused on, their jobs. They also noted that workers with a bigger Rolodex and larger circle of business contacts are a big plus. #4 The mature worker has more common sense and is better at dealing with problems than 20-somethings are. You have a better understanding of the work culture and how to get things done.
