Apply These Tips to Find Jobs After Retirement

While retirement is supposed to be the time you give up the 9 to 5 job and say goodbye to water cooler chatter, many people are including work as part of their retirement plans. Longevity, combined with meager savings, is driving more people to stay on the job longer.

Today, almost 19 percent of Americans ages 65 and older are employed full or part time. In 2000, just 12.8 percent of people that age were working, according to the Pew Research Center. The trend might be a good thing. Just a few more years of working may help to improve your retirement funds.

If you plan to make work part of your retirement, make sure to follow these tips.

Tip 1 – Don’t quit before you’re ready

Compared to younger workers, it takes older job seekers longer to find new jobs following a job loss. In most cases, the new jobs don’t pay as much as the ones they had. If you plan to work during retirement, start your job hunt or finalize your employment first. The last thing you want is to realize you don’t have enough money in retirement, only to be unable to land a job.

Tip 2 – Keep your skills fresh

Many people unfairly assume that older workers may not have the necessary technology and communication skills. If that’s the case, sign up for a course or two to learn new skills. Don’t be afraid to ask questions as you try to master the basics of additional smart-device options.

Tip 3 – Take your encore

If you can afford it, retirement also may be time to consider volunteer work in a field that allows you to pursue your interests and passions. Some may enable you to still earn a paycheck.
