- Register with temp firms in
your local area as they don't care about age but are more interested in
your skills and experience. Also if you get work through a temp firm it
helps build your resume for future work assignments.
- Try to get an interview with
an employer that is not your first choice to practice your interviewing
skills. You don't want to go to your first interview in a long time with
the employer you are really interested in working for and make easily
correctable mistakes.
- Consider having your resume
re-written or updated by an expert as the resume you used years ago is no
longer appropriate. Click here for free resume writing
help.
- Look for temporary,
part-time or project assignments as they are much more available than
full-time jobs.
- Search for a job in areas
that connect older workers with employers seeking to hire them. Click here to search for a job and
where you can search for a job in any geographic location by job title or
keywords.
- When applying for a job tell
the employer you are willing to start working as a consultant or on a
project basis; this often gives you a leg up on younger workers who are
often unable to accept this kind of employment. Temporary employment or
working on a consultative basis can lead to full-time work.
- Get information on the
perspective employer prior to your interview. For example contact someone
who works for this employer who attended the same school you went to or is
a member of your sorority or fraternity saying. "Hi. You and I went
to the same school but graduated at different times. I'm interviewing for
a position in your firm later this week and, before I meet with the hiring
manager, I would like to test out a couple questions I have about the firm
on you and see what you think the answers might be." (You might also
ask if you can use their name as a reference).
- Look at companies with fewer
than 500 employees as employers of this size created 64% of the new U.S.
jobs from 9/92 through 2012 even though they employ just 55% of the
private sector work force according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
- Volunteer with a charity or
non-profit. Although in most cases there is little or no monetary
compensation, it is often excellent experience and can possibly lead to
employment with a firm that is seeking that particular experience or
appreciates your work ethic. It is also easier to find employment while
you are working as you have a better mind set. Looking for a job on a
full-time basis is not a very rewarding experience. Click here for volunteering

Thanks for this! The statistics really interested, me, I had always made the assumption that bigger companies would have a larger turn around of employees, so they would be better to apply to. CLearly I was wrong. I've done all the rest though (except for charity work, which takes up too much time), so fingers crossed!
