Workers 50+

Job search at 50+ is no different really than job-seeking as a 20-year-old todayand, everything is different from when 50+ workers sought work in their 20’s. 

Personal contacts have been replaced by online interactions, social media provides a whole new way to market experience and skills and, jobs that are currently available may not have existed ten years ago.  It can be overwhelming and scary but, there is a workforce shortage in Minnesota, in the nation and across the world.  Older worker energy, soft-skill experience and ability to mentor, expertise and experience is needed.

How to effectively throw your hat into this tumultuous ring?

GenSync is steeped in the resources and programs designed to support workers 50+ seeking an ongoing career, a different career, a new job in the same industry or part-time work.  Some of these tools are well-hidden, but offered to you as part of personalized and experienced coaching for mature workers, to:

  • Understand your value and potential in the changing workforce in relation to your personal situation
  • Assess match between your personal skills, values and interests and current business openings and trends
  • Communicate personal goals and training needs
  • Develop flexible plan, identifying resources and connections
  • Coach you through steps necessary to achieve personal work goals.
