Wiser Worker Blog

When starting to write for a new blog I always feel as if I need an obligatory introduction post. It’s kind of like introducing yourself to someone new. On this blog you’ll find issues and posts related to anything regarding the “older worker” or “mature worker”. Personally, I’ve never been much a fan of those terms. That’s where the term “wiser worker” comes in. It reflects the life and work experience that you have.

What’s this Blog all about?

If you do some research on me over the internet you’ll find that I’m in my 20’s. You might think that I know nothing about what the Wiser Worker. You’d pretty much be right. That’s why I’m here: because I can work this blog thing and because I’d like to learn together.

What I do know is that those of you entering retirement age (or starting to think about it) and those post-retirement age are facing so many issues with the economy situation, social security, deciding on when to retire and whether or not you can afford it. I also try and get a good perspective on the job market and read and write a lot about job hunting advice. This blog will hopefully explore some of those issues that you’re facing and provide a resource for you to find advice and information you need on getting back in the workplace, prepare and enter retirement, working part-time or figuring out how to understand and work alongside of the younger generations. We’ll also probably have a lot of information for hiring managers and recruiters who are looking to hire wiser workers.

I look forward to the discussions and the things we can learn from each other and hope that this blog will become a great resource for job seekers and recruiters alike. And at anytime, please feel free to email me with questions or suggestions on what you’d like to see here to rosemary.reilman@employmentguide.com. You can also contact any of the other authors. We’d be happy to help. Or you can always leave a comment.
