Delaying your retirement American Chemical Society Share
Do you want or need to delay your retirement? You are not alone. Many baby boomers are delaying their retirement. One-third plan to retire after age 65 according to an Employment Benefit Research Institute survey. In another recent survey of more than 2,200 U.S. workers by consulting firm Watson Wyatt Worldwide, 44 percent of respondents ages 50 or older said they plan to postpone retirement; half of those say they plan to work at least three years longer than they previously expected.

Creating your custom resume San Francisco Chronicle Share
By now, we all know the golden rule of resumes — one page not including the cover letter.

What to do when job searching takes longer than expected Woodstock Sentinel Review Share
Even the most talented, educated and experienced job seekers may have a difficult time finding a job in today's economy. Although people may hope their transition between jobs will last only a few weeks, the reality is that many job seekers spend months — or even a year — trying to secure work. This delay can wreak havoc on a job seeker's confidence, motivation and sense of pride — all of which are characteristics critical to achieving success in the job market.

Now What?: Finding Your Way from Job-Loss Crisis to Career Resilience," says one of the best things people can do when they begin to feel stuck in their search is evaluate which methods are working and which aren't productive and then adjust their strategy.
