Description
This authoritative guide helps Baby Boomers navigate their way through a host of issues that typically affect careers from the midpoint onward toward retirement.
If you are a Boomer and want to make sure you a) follow the right path to reach the pinnacle of your career; b) prepare yourself for common pitfalls and dead ends that can derail a midlife career; and c) get where you want to go the way you want to get there, this invaluable, can-do guide is the resource of your dreams.
The Boomers' Career Survival Guide: Achieving Success and Contentment from Middle Age through Retirement is designed to help the nation's largest, wealthiest, and most successful generation make the "back nine" of their working lives an extraordinary, enriching experience. With page after page of real stories about real people, it offers expert insights on how much the working world has changed in the Boomer years, and on the common workplace issues Boomers face, including second careers, age discrimination, stalled careers, and anxieties over finding your true talents and snagging opportunities. A final section provides realistic, workable advice on those ultimate Boomer dreams: starting your own business and retiring in style.
