3D Success

If you're between the ages of forty-five and sixty-four and you've got a well-padded resume, it only seems logical that a new employer will see you as the answer to his or her employee prayers. After all, your acquired wisdom, work experience, skills, and abilities are valuable; you're also probably highly motivated. Known by the term "middle age unemployment bulge," your reason(s) for changing careers may include: • You've been laid off because of corporate or company downsizing. • You've gone as far as you can, or want to, in your current work. • You're dealing with health issues or physical limitations. • You've decided it's time to follow a personal or employment dream. • You want to create a work schedule that allows for a "life for yourself" • You're planning or nearing retirement and your finances need some help.
