ARE YOU FINDING:

• You can't even get an acknowledgement for your job applications let alone speak to a human being or get a chance for an interview?
• Experiencing subtle - and sometimes not so subtle - age discrimination?
• That you've started to doubt your self, along with your skills and your potential value to an employer?
• Sick of hitting your head against a brick wall? Or perhaps ...
• You're not even sure you want to get back into your old profession or job area anyway ... but don't know what else to do?

Perhaps we can help. We've helped lots of people before you, and with luck, we'll be of use to many more in the years to come!

We know, just because you're over 50, that you're not over the hill.

In fact we know you're probably hitting potentially the most creative time of your life ... if you could just work out what to do with all that knowledge, passion and urge to be of genuine service!

If this sounds like you, then why not contact Grace Johnston immediately - working.vic@nationalseniors.com.au or 03 9650 6144.

ABOUT workingconnections:

workingconnections has been in the business of providing jobsearch advice, training and job-matching services for mature Australians. Since 1 January, 2009 workingconnections has operated in Victoria as a service provided by National Seniors Australia, focussing on delivering employment-related projects for people 50-plus.

workingconnections is able to work with, and discriminate actively in favour of, mature age jobseekers who are members of our organisation. It's work we've been doing for more than 50 years, as workingconnections  started its life as an employment service in 1954.

EMPLOYERS
Don't overlook mature jobseekers when it comes to filling those crucial job and contract vacancies!

This generation of workers comes with stability, experience, good skills and a good work ethic - and they don't usually want to take over the company! They just want to make a valid contribution and be rewarded accordingly. This cohort can often afford to be more flexible in their working arrangements than younger workers, too.

And that all adds up to a recipe for business success.
