Here is an updated version (November 29, 2009) of the initial posting describing how my blog, "The 50 Over 50 Project, " works:
Its Labor Day, 2009 and I am launching the new blog, “The 50 Over 50 Project.” Over the next 50 weeks the world and I will offer free job coaching and advice to 50 people who are over 50 years old, and who are in some form of career predicament.
You have just discovered a new place to learn some secrets and tricks to gain a more splendid occupational situation for yourself. These secrets are NOT just from me, America’s Job Coach (www.americasjobcoach.com), they are the secrets of “the collective.”
For nearly twenty years the attendees of my career-improvement seminars have told me their favorite part of the course has been the group forums. This is where attendees collectively brainstorm on solutions for each others’ career problems. Well, that forum is now global!
The goal is to motivate or guide people who have lived at least five decades into a better vocational place, as defined by them. Their work setting may include boredom, burnout, unemployment, underemployment, the desire to start their own venture, career restlessness, or simply unhappiness with their livelihood choices.
I am not a lawyer, a shrink, a counselor, a CPA, and make no business offerings here. If you need those services, seek a competent professional person to help you. This is just a friendly forum launched on a day which “celebrates labor.” The irony is that today more people are unemployed than have been for about 30 years! The recent unemployment rate was 10.2 % nationally!
Let’s see if we as a group can help fix that! Consider sharing your career quandary, or offer your solutions for 50 others over 50. I look forward to your participation in The 50 Over 50 Project...
