Landing a job and managing a career can be challenging at any age, but older workers often face unique hurdles. Balancing retirement goals, caregiving responsibilities, and combating age discrimination can turn a routine job search into a daunting task.
To support experienced workers in navigating today's job market, AARP and Indeed have joined forces to offer a suite of resources and tools. This collaboration aims to empower older job seekers with everything from interview preparation to résumé assistance, ensuring they remain competitive.
Carly Roszkowski, Vice President of Financial Resilience Programming at AARP, highlights the importance of this initiative: "With the number of older workers projected to grow significantly over the next decade, understanding their needs benefits both workers and employers."
Key Resources Offered:
- Job Board: Start your search on the Indeed job board, which lists millions of opportunities. Finding an employer that values experience and fosters an age-friendly environment is crucial.
- Career Advice: Tailored guidance for older workers, plus discounts on Indeed's paid services for AARP members and registered nonmembers.
A recent AARP Research survey revealed that 22% of job seekers aged 50 and older need help finding job opportunities, underscoring the value of these resources.
