I am older and got polio from vaccine at 11 month old, I worked till I had to retire Early. I have been searching for part time computer work from home this last year. Seems so many are scams, takes big star up costs or just not out there. Love to go to a part time job, but can't, for obvious reasons, except for initial interview and such. I get bombarded with emails from these companies that are supposed to help. Teaching jobs, nurse jobs, not qualified jobs, not work from home jobs. So frustrating. The technology is amazing and one would think that these jobs, legit jobs, jobs that wouldn't cost the want to be employee money, would be out there. Defeats the purpose to pay. Older and disabled, don't say the world treats disabled different these days, not much different than when I worked for DoD, my boss went over Human Sevices Department management to get permission to hire 5 disabled individuals. The jobs were so perfect for a disabled person, he got it pushed through, because they wouldn't. These were US Federal government jobs. I was one of the group that was hired. All I want is part time to supplement SS. This post comes from frustration
When you work, it pays! Not only that, the long term security by working with the company and the investments along with it. 20-30 years from now, we won't be able to retire from a 9-5 like they did back in the days.
I have spent 100''s of hours the last few months. I get plenty of emails offering me a job, The problem is you start the process of what they need which always takes a minimum of 20 minutes and you always get nothing. I am a retired widow and live on a fixed income.I have the time to be dedicated to whatever I agree to. If you know the secret to get to the right place it would be greatly appreciated
Thank you Annie
The hardest things about moving to a new town are:
- I moved away from all my friends It's tough establishing new relationships.
- Finding a new job. I'm retired, but I don't want to sit at home or to work full time.
Also, I want time flexibility - five grandkids in three states. Need I say more? - Finally, I don't know what I want to do.
Suggestions?
I've been a trial attorney for 40+ years. I closed y office, bought an HD ready to get the wind in my face. Bride says get you a_ _ back to work. So I'm now working at a non profit law firm providing free legal services to senior citizens in rural Nevada. Pay is not great and I've put some apps into various organizations, but like M. Solario I'm getting similar responses so I guess at age 72 folks like us are not in high demand. Just my .02 Cheers George
I am having the problem that other are having. I retured as a medical secretary with an Associates degree doing all the billing for many specialtys long with phones insurances call backs etc etc and I can not seem to find anyone that would be interested in having a great worker with all my skills at 73 years of age. I am not dead yet and completely bored after I retired. Can any one tell me what to do, Tina
We are a senior couple who lost our pension through bankruptcy of my husband's employer. Need extra income to supplement our Social Security checks. Husband functionally deaf. No money for hearing aids. I have experience in outside sales, customer service and medical terminology.
As a retired guy I do not have alot of recent experience but I was an interviewer back in the day... So what I was looking for was usually in the "other" section of the resume... That is what are your interests? Where do you volunteer? How you have related to your family and friends?... The answer to these questions can give the interviewer a little insight to your ability to be a team player and whether your would be considered a self-starter, etc. The best thing you could do to prepare for this type of question is to do something good for someone else (on a regular basis.) Find an organization you could volunteer time with (and that you would enjoy!) Don't lie, it is easy to see who is telling the truth in an interview. Be excited to share what you have learned from your experiences. Sometime you can add to what you have accomplished in past jobs as well, but remember, your job is not WHO you are. Do not offer bad examples of what motivates you but keep everything positive always remember you ARE in an interview, not just conversation over a cup of coffee (although that is a great way for interviewers to try to put you at ease.) Stay on your toes but be nice, respectful and concise. There is nothing worse than droning on about yourself so practice what you might share on this question. AND VOLUNTEER to serve others!
I need a good company I can retire from one day
I've obviously lived far too long for this stuff. 60 and counting, but still, no foundation. Too many project based jobs. Gave up on the chrono resume approach long ago.
I have an unusable AAS degree in programming. I've been a chef of some standing for over 20+ years. I know structured data/phone/fire. camera cabling and installation.
where the F do I go? 7+ years till retirement, I'm lost, tbh
It's maddening. I've done national magazine layout for over 5 years, and love the work.
Jack of many trades master of some, but still, unemployed
Any help appreciated
