Over 40 and Looking for a Job Workshop

In the next ten years, 76 million Americans are set to retire, but there will be only 46 million people in line to replace them. Clearly, the labor force will change dramatically in this country in the next decade, and older workers may have less trouble than they do now finding a job.

Meanwhile, since jobless mature workers still face a real challenge searching for a job, Westport Library will host a Jobseeker Special entitled "Your Next Job" on Wednesday, October 20 at 10:00 am. Steven Greenberg, founder of jobs4point0.com, designed especially for jobseekers over 40, and host of CBS Radio's "Your Next Job," will discuss what it takes for a mature jobseeker to get hired. Topics will include how to identify and apply for unadvertised jobs, how to create a résumé that generates interviews, how to follow up in ways that produce offers, and how to turn a job search into productive process that can lead to a better career. Free and open to the public, the program will be held in the Library's McManus Room.

Greenberg has been a recruiter and human resources professional for more than 16 years. He is also an attorney and has served as general counsel for a leading toy manufacturer. Before that, he practiced law at several major firms. He was born in 1960, and, at 48, "knows that his best years of working are ahead of him!"
