Act II: Finding Career Satisfaction After 50

 

Job Action Day: November 2nd, 2015

F. Scott Fitzgerald once wrote that “there are no second acts in American lives.” But when it comes to your career, it’s never too late to keep growing, improving, and reaching for your goals!

Older workers are one of the fastest-growing segments of the American economy: more than 45 million folks over the age of 50 are still making important contributions as part of the workforce. If you’re in this category, or if you’re a baby boomer (or beyond!) looking for work, this year’s Job Action Day has been designed for you.

LiveCareer has gathered an impressive range of career experts and successful bloggers to provide a full day’s worth of tips, tools, articles, and resources specific to the needs and challenges of more experienced workers. You’ll find a wealth of information to help you stay competitive in your field, feel valued in your workplace, find a new job if you want one, and make the next act of your career a smashing success.

Whether you’re working because you need the money, you love what you do, or you’re making a fresh start, Job Action Day is all about empowering you with the knowledge and the confidence you need to take the next step in your professional journey.
