50-plus Job Seekers Group [http://cnrg-portland.org/node/19765]
------------------------------------------------------------
Today, Boomers who’ve lost their jobs face unique problems and are
looking for advice and tips on how to overcome: • Being
overqualified • Feeling discriminated against based on age •
Fitting the length and depth of experience on only two pages •
Receiving guidance on when to take a job that simply pays the bills
• Knowing how to use social media tools like LinkedIn to expand your
online “brand”

 

This recession has been brutal. Even people who have seniority, a
good education, great skills, expertise and company loyalty have been
laid off. In fact, more people over 50 are unemployed and have
remained unemployed longer than ever before.

 

Join your peers to share your experience and gain the benefit of
others knowledge. Everyone over 50 is welcome.

 

• When: Every 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month, starting March 1
from 10 am - noon • Where: Coaxis Building, 1515 SE Water (near
OMSI), in the Mt. Adams room • Cost: Free • Let us know you’re
coming: Email in...@lifebydesignnw.org
