What’s happened?
Redundancy
Discontent
Time for a change
So much more to offer
It’s my time

What can you do about it?
Reality check
Know what you really want
Your network
Self-marketing
Looking towards retirement

Redundancy
Emotions
Shock and grief?
Relief?
Anger and indignation?
Perceptions
No emotional value in redundancy…..it is how YOU react to it that counts.

Discontent
Niggling feelings
Disappointment
“Is this all there is?”
Resignation –
“Putting up with the work, the people, the company.”
Incongruence
“It’s just not who I am”
Diminishing
“They treat me like dirt”

Time for a change
Moving away from something
Unhappy
Feeling overwhelmed
Feeling bullied or otherwise uncomfortable
Moving towards something
Great idea
Money making venture
Seeking fulfillment

So much more to offer
Being overlooked
Not in the right job….although might be in the right organisation
Not getting a chance to show what you can do
= FRUSTRATION

It’s my time
Congruence – the right fit for you
Fulfillment
Passion
Purpose

Reality check
Will anyone employ me over 50?
What sort of work can I do?
Am I employable?
What skills do I have that I can transfer to another work environment?
The Global Financial Crisis and its impact on employment in Australia.

Know what you really want
Out of the frying pan into the fire……………..Ouch!
New stage of life - What does that mean in terms of the work you are seeking?
Clarify what you are seeking
Professional help
Qualified in Career Development
Counselling, coaching, practical help.

Self marketing
Transferable skills = Self belief
What can you really offer them? Be honest with yourself because then you can be honest with them.
Strong powerful resume that makes you stand out.
What you have achieved
Action or achievement oriented
Professional looking

Your network
Age has advantages. You know lots of people.

Looking towards retirement
At what age do you want to retire?
What do you want to have achieved by then?
What does retirement mean to you?
Baby Boomers have always done things differently!
Previous generations – Stop work, Travel, What next?
Want retirement to provide fulfillment, satisfaction, the chance to “do your own thing”……but what is that?
Plan NOW for a fulfilling retirement. Start working towards it. Make it a seamless transition.
Need to have Passion, a Purpose and a Plan.

You might be over 50but you are not over the hill!
