So what would it take for you to become part of the jobs for middle age club?
What would entice you to be part of the mature age workforce, is it the hours, pay or type of job? Let’s look at just some of the things that would see you going back to work.
The hours: Jobs for middle age members tend to be looking for hours that are balanced between working and family life. You don’t go to school so are available during the day, which is something the young ones can’t do. As you are trying to balance you family and work commitments you are most likely not looking for fulltime work; another plus for the employer.
Pay: If the employer can’t get a junior than they will be paying an adults wage no matter who they employer so why not have someone with experience. If you are seeking part time work then the employer could put you on as a part time employee; this will be a win for both of you- he has an employee who is reliable and you get the part time benefits that go along with being a permanent employee.
Type of job: This one is up to you, however I would anticipate you will be keener to find something a little less demanding than if you were in your 20’s, so sales, food handling, delivery work or administration are just a few suggestions.
Maybe you have been on government payments and now that your youngest child in attending school, it is compulsory to seek part time employment.
If this is the case, you may be having a difficult time working out what to do. You could be feeling pressured to making a commitment to work that does not suite your needs. If this is the case then you need to seek professional advice.
You can do this by asking your provider to refer you to a careers counsellor for assistance. Careers Guidance
