Keeping On Track

The journey to securing employment is a long one that is full of regular rejection and self-doubt. It is a negative one that will continually erode your self-esteem and confidence. If you are aware and ready for this, then you can adopt strategies to cope.  

Many senior job seekers refer to the challenges of job market ageism and whilst legislation exists to prevent it, ageism does exist. The smart job seeker will turn this to advantage and adopt a strategy for this. 

For many returning to the job market follows a lengthy absence from employment, be that for caring, health, or other reasons. Employers will have doubts about your employability, and you need to take steps to overcome these doubts. 

Whilst good planning will help you to keep on track it is not a guarantee of doing so.
