Music Over 50? 5 Smart Tips for Landing a New Job By Chad Brooks, Business News Daily Senior Writer June 18, 2015 For many people, finding a new job after the age of 50 becomes more difficult.  After losing a job, older job seekers, compared to younger counterparts, receive fewer job offers, search for weeks longer and are ultimately less likely to find re-employment, according to a new study recently published in the Psychological Bulletin. Based on data from the U.S. government's 2014 Displaced Worker Survey, researchers discovered that job seekers over age 50 are likely to be unemployed 5.8 weeks longer than someone between the ages of 30 and 49, and 1

Music New York Times Hiring a Coach to Spark the Job Hunt MARCH 7, 2015 By ROB WALKER My husband lost his high-level, overseas position after the company sold off his division. He has always been an ambitious, successful executive. But in the year since this job ended and we moved back to the United States, he has become depressed. His efforts to find new work, while sincere, have not been consistent. I am trying to be supportive and have never nagged him. I would like to find an executive coach for him to work with on his job search — someone who would help him strategize and hold him accountable. A friend recommended someone, but that person seeme

Music From the New York Times Health Care Opens Stable Career Path, Taken Mainly by Women By DIONNE SEARCEY, EDUARDO PORTER and ROBERT GEBELOFF, FEB. 22, 2015 HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — For Tabitha Waugh, it was another typical day of chaos on the sixth-floor cancer ward. The fire alarm was blaring for the second time that afternoon, prompting patients to stumble out of their rooms. One confused elderly man approached Ms. Waugh, a registered nurse at St. Mary’s Medical Center here, but she had no time to console him. An aide was shouting from another room, where a patient sat dazed on the edge of his bed, blood pooling on the floor from the IV he had yanked from h

Working Strategies: Four options for easing job search pain By Amy Lindgren

 The good news is that the job market has been improving. The bad news? That kicked-in-the-stomach feeling you may be experiencing if you're not one of the people benefiting from the upturn. It's one thing to be unemployed when unemployment seems like the norm; it's entirely different when you feel like the last kid picked for the softball team. It's normal for me to see people who are hurting from a frustrated search, or from the job loss that led up to it. Pain is to be expected and it can even be helpful. But too much pain is a problem. It can morph into a psychic burden that threatens to stay with a person even into the next job. One way to know if you've slipped into this zone is by checking your inner monologue. Do you generally feel hopeless or hopeful about finding work? Have you slowed or stopped looking for work? Are you still looking, but with only half your attenti

Music From the Star Tribune Ask Matt: Does it matter what time I interview? By MATT KRUMRIE May 26, 2015 Dear Matt: Does it really matter what day and time I interview? Matt says: Ninety-nine percent of interviewees would rather be anywhere else on the planet than at an interview, says career development coach Vicky Oliver (vickyoliver.com), author of “301 Smart Answers to Tough Interview Questions”. There’s a tendency to want to get the interview over with as soon as possible — so if you have a choice, choose a morning time slot for your interview. “Studies show that people who interview in the morning are offered the job more often than those who take a

Music From The Wall Street Journal Mind Your Email Manners In business communication, it is important to observe some etiquette rules Business etiquette expert Jacqueline Whitmore, at her Lake Worth, Fla., home, says that drafting business emails is a craft that should prioritize a professional tone. By Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan April 15, 2015 1:03 p.m. ET So much business communication takes place electronically that people tend to dash off emails without thinking about them.

Music From the Star Tribune Ask Matt: 1,000 interviews, still no job! Why? By MATT KRUMRIE April 27, 2015 Dear Matt: I’ve interviewed over 1,000 times and still don’t have a job. What’s going on? Matt says: This reader claims he has sent out 12 applications a week, had 2-3 interviews a week and spent 10 years trying to get a real job. The fact that he’s getting so many interviews and no offers is a real red flag, says Ron McGowan, author of “How to Find Work in the 21st Century — A Guide to Finding Employment in Today’s Workplace” (howtofindwork.ca). He must have marketable skills to be getting the interviews, so the key question is, why no offers? “Spen
