Not me anytime soon, I’m having too much fun! But I am now of that age that many of my contemporaries are retiring.
First a true story: Recently a high schoolmate of mine had a work anniversary that appeared on my LinkedIn home page and I wished him congratulations on another fruitful year.
He replied, “Oh I recently retired. I better change my LinkedIn profile asap.”
Oh. I guess so. So I looked an hour later and sure enough, he had changed his title to “retired professor,” though ordinarily this change would not be high on his retirement “to-do’s” but I am glad I was the catalyst to make that quick change. mBut I wish he had said more.
Like what’s next inhis career story? He has so much to offer, as a career professor in a business school at a recognized university.
I wonder, riffing off the photo above, is it too soon for him to be retired?
That gets me to this unashamed ad for my new e-course “LinkedIn for Baby Boomers and Other Encore Career Seekers.”
For the month of August the price of $44.99 is 10% off the regular price.
Tell others, please.
Get one yourself, if this is what you need to learn.
Buy a gift for that someone who will soon tire of playing golf 7 days a week.
Boomers have so much to offer the workplace. They just need to know how to look for a job or waltz into that next step in their career, 2019 style!
