How to Get a Job After 45

Are you in mid-career, and unsure of which direction to take? Or do you find yourself out of work when you least expected it or felt able to deal with it? Perhaps your children have left home and you now need to get back into the job market. This book, now in its revised and updated second edition, will help you to form an action plan for your future. The author provides information and advice on: how to come to terms with your new situation; assessing your accumulated skills and experience; the opportunities available; taking advantage of government initiatives; retraining and further education; how to prepare job applications; and succeeding at interviews. The author assists mature job seekers in making the most of themselves and their opportunities by offering a realistic yet positive approach to look for work. Using case studies, Julie Bayley shows that with guidance and sustained effort, a mid-career job change can often lead to a more varied and rewarding way of life.
