What:
A very different town hall/forum event than you’d expect and probably than you’ve ever experienced — very informal in tone (open, friendly, accessible), but with a formal agenda.
Focused on issues that Boomers and 50 [...]

It’s official. Our forum in LA in January has a home. Here are the details:
Having run a survey on length of job search for the past several months, some of the findings were very interesting — reflecting the stories and issues that many of you have been clearly identifying. Please read the full media release for survey overview. Please feel free to add your comments. I always [...]
Due to some requests over the past year, I’m putting together a Town Hall meeting in Los Angeles, CA in the next couple of months. An interesting concept (more on this later) and some exciting experts are planning on joining us to share their thoughts and concerns about employment challenges for 50 plus. [...]
Over the past few weeks, in the process of gathering supporting information for an interview with the Wall Street Journal, I had put out several calls for individual stories. I received many emails from many of you who had your histories to share. Some of the stories were fantastic — courageous, successful…50 plussers [...]
Tom Lauricella has done it and done it right. He won my heart. The intrepid Wall Street Journal writer interviewed me last week, along with several of the Gen Plus jobseekers (some from my group on Eons) and has written a terrific article, entitled, “How Old Are You? As Old As Your Skills” [...]
One of the things that astounds me is that on one hand, global companies (in particular), and many mid- to large companies are already facing management shortages, and a general lack of skilled workers, while on the other hand, there are literally thousands upon thousands of qualified 50 plussers who cannot find a [...]
I think I may be in love with a man I’ve never met. Intrepid LA Times staff writer, Jonathan Peterson, dares to tread where few go…into the topic of hiring 50 plussers. Back in May, Peterson brought new statistics regarding older workers to the front pages of the LA Times. I fell in [...]
Wikipedia gives a great, concise description of Labor Day:” United States federal holiday that takes place on the first Monday in September. The holiday began in 1882, originating from a desire by the Central Labor Union to create a day off for the “working man”. It is still celebrated mainly as a day [...]
The other day, enjoying dinner with a 50 plus physicist (I’ll call him Jim) from JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratories), we started to discuss the challenges of the 50 plus jobseeker finding employment. He was a bit stunned. Why, he wanted to know, would an employer be stupid enough NOT to hire a 50 [...]
When you are looking for a job, you have to use a multi-pronged approach — posting resumes, applying to jobs online, networking, setting your sites on specific companies and approaching them directly — in other words, leaving no stone unturned, especially when facing the invisible wall at 50 plus. It can be very [...]
