1 Update your resume

Your resume is your first impression, so make sure it reflects your current goals and achievements. Highlight the relevant skills and experience that match the job you're applying for, and use keywords that employers are looking for. Don't list every job you've ever had, but focus on the ones that demonstrate your value and impact. Avoid dates that might reveal your age, such as graduation years or old certifications. Instead, emphasize your recent accomplishments and learning.

2 Research the company

Before you apply or interview for a job, do some research on the company and its culture. Find out what their mission, vision, and values are, and how they align with yours. Learn about their products, services, customers, and competitors, and how you can contribute to their success. Prepare some questions to ask the interviewer that show your interest and curiosity. For example, you can ask about their goals, challenges, expectations, or opportunities for growth.

3 Showcase your strengths

One of the advantages of being a retired professional is that you have a wealth of knowledge, experience, and wisdom to offer. Use your interviews to showcase your strengths and how they can benefit the employer. For example, you can highlight your leadership, communication, problem-solving, or teamwork skills. You can also share examples of how you handled different situations, learned new things, or adapted to changes in your previous roles. Be confident, but not arrogant, and show enthusiasm and passion for the job.

One important advice for retirees applying for jobs is to showcase their transferable skills and highlight the value they can bring to the role. While retirees may not have recent work experience in the specific industry or job they are applying for, they often possess a wealth of skills and knowledge acquired throughout their careers. By emphasizing their strengths, such as leadership, problem-solving, communication, and adaptability, retirees can demonstrate their ability to contribute effectively to the organization and bridge any perceived gaps in experience.

In my experience, the wisdom and wealth of skills really need to be given more consideration, not the age. If only there are as many opportunities available in the market. Sadly this is not so nowadays …..

4 Address potential concerns

Some employers might have some concerns about hiring retirees, such as your availability, flexibility, motivation, or fit with the team. Be prepared to address these concerns and turn them into positives. For example, you can emphasize your willingness to work part-time, remotely, or on a project basis. You can also show your eagerness to learn new skills, technologies, or methods. You can also demonstrate your ability to collaborate with people from different backgrounds, generations, or perspectives.

5 Follow up and stay in touch

After your interview, send a thank-you note to the interviewer and restate your interest and qualifications for the job. Keep it brief, professional, and personalized. Follow up with them after a reasonable period of time, depending on the hiring process, and ask for an update or feedback. Stay in touch until you get a final decision, but don't be too pushy or desperate. If you don't get the job, don't take it personally. Keep looking for other opportunities and network with people who can help you.
