Today, Baby Boomers who’ve lost their jobs face unique problems and are looking for advice and tips on how to overcome: Being overqualified, feeling discriminated against based on age, fitting the length and depth of experience on only two pages, receiving guidance on when to take a job that simply pays the bills, and knowing how to use social media tools like LinkedIn. This recession has been brutal. Even people who have seniority, a good education, great skills, expertise and company loyalty have been laid off. In fact, more people over 50 are unemployed and have remained unemployed longer than ever before. If you're over 50, join your peers to share your experience and gain the benefit of others knowledge. Everyone is welcome. When? Every 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month, starting March 1 from 10 am – noon. These FREE gatherings will be held at the Coaxis Building, located 1515 SE Water Street (near OMSI). Please register by calling 971-722-6650 or visit lifebydesignnw.org
