Over 50 and Looking for a Job?

If you have been faced with no response or just plain "no" when you answer an employment ad - and you are 50+ - you are not alone!

People in their 50's, 60's and 70's who want and need to work are often faced with overwhelming odds and competition with much younger individuals who do not had the experience, knowledge and loyalty of a more "seasoned citizen".

That's why I just started the new website www.SeniorsSeekingJobs.com. You can go there and post your resume and a brief description for FREE.  I am hoping to attract thousands of people who are out of work, but not out of hope.  I also want to attract business people who appreciate the talent of 50+ people and will take a look at the listings to see if there is a match.  Finally, companies who support this idea are invited to place help wanted and other company ads on the site to help keep it on line.  Who di YOu know that needs a job and is 50+?  Who do you know that HAS a job that could be filled by a veteran worker?  who do you know that owns a company that would advertise to this vital and growing audience?  Call me at (248) 884-2626, visit the site or email me at TheGreenBrain@gmail.com.  And, good hunting!
