Employment for seniors

I give this suggestion to seniors to get a new job:

* try a part time job, that is paid by the hour
* work near your home
* do not be fussy about the hourly rate
* give the employer more than what you are paid

This require a new mindset by seniors. By accept a part time job, we are not competing with younger people for a full time job. It is easier to get a part time job, as the employment process is shorter.

By working near our home, we reduce the cost and time of travelling.

If we can contribute more that what we are paid, we will be valuable to the employee. The employer will appreciate the value of a senior worker: more patient, able to handle customers, less job hopping.

After some time, the employer will have to raise the hourly rate or offer a full time job to the senior. If not, the next employer will recognise the value of a committed, senior worker.
