WiserWorker.com:Dedicated to the Largest Demographic in the County
As a company we selected this statement to represent WiserWorker.com and our older worker program and almost 2 years later I look back and think of all that this statement stands for: Older Workers, Baby Boomers and helping them find jobs. I remember sitting around the conference table trying to select a statement that truthfully described what we were doing and what we hoped to accomplish in the future and thinking “hmmm I wonder if WiserWorker.com will live up to this”.
So what are we doing to help you the Older Workers find work?
As company our hope is that through the continue education and awareness process we will help make a change in the recruitment world, because recruiters are the people who are make the hiring choices. Still I think older job seekers have doubts…so our job is not done. I wrote a blog about benefits and the part time employee. I received feedback asking: “do these companies really in fact hire older workers?” Well the companies in that particular blog are part of AARP’s national employer team as well as advertisers on our site. I have in the past worked with them and to the best of my knowledge not only do they hire older workers they make it a practice. Apply with confidence and know you are the best candidate!
WiserWorker.com: We created an online job board specifically designed for the baby boomers and older worker demographic. We make changes to the site based on feedback we get from job seekers. Our product was designed to be user friendly and for you, so if you would like to see a change email and I will see what I can do.
Job Fair Series: Along with The AARP Foundation are co-hosting our biggest job fair series ever. Last year The Employment Guide hosted over 40,000 job seekers in 40 cities nationwide and we are here to top those numbers in 2008.
Helping YOU the job seeker; I implore you to confidently attend job fairs. Contact your local WorkSeach program provided by the AARP Foundation, you will be amaze! Finally apply for jobs that interest and share your knowledge and experience with others
WiserWorker.com has been online for 6 months and our job fair series is in its second year, while we have scratch the surface of the older worker issue, and sure we have made some strides, I realize that we have a lot to do still. Our goal is to create a marketplace where older workers can easily find the job of their dreams. We aren’t there yet but we are closer.
