Jobs for Seniors
Jobs for seniors range over a tremendous area depending upon the age, skills and experience of the senior.  Jobs for seniors can include corporate management to small business positions, clerical work or service positions. Jobs for seniors vary widely in cities from those in small towns.  Jobs for seniors are also more difficult to secure for seniors with little past experience, or skills that are outdated.
Jobs for seniors may simply include advancement in a company where the senior has worked up to management levels.  Jobs for seniors can also disappear in some corporations where emphasis is upon youth and newly acquired skills. There are some industries, such as advertising, where jobs for seniors are notoriously limited unless the senior has advanced to top management or ownership level.
The cateory of " senior" can include persons from relatively young mid-fifties, to very senior persons, perhaps beyond 70.  It is rare, however, for seniors in their 70's and 80's to be seeking jobs.  It is not rare, however, for persons in middle age to be seeking jobs for seniors. For many of these seniors, finding jobs for seniors is an uphill effort. In many cases possessing inadequate skills hampers in a search for jobs for seniors.  In other cases, a  community may simply not offer adequate opportunity for young workers, and certainly not be a fertile field for jobs for seniors.
Recognizing the difficulty of finding jobs for seniors, some communities and government agencies at community level offer assistance to senior citizens seeking jobs for seniors. Such assistance may include classes to improve computer skills, and assistance with job search techniques, such as resume writing and interviewing skills, both important in a search for jobs for seniors.
Jobs for seniors of course includes continuing work in fields where a senior may have achieved management status in a major company. Sometimes jobs for these seniors simply mean continued advancement.  This is not always true, however, as some corporations may retire such seniors, hiring younger, lower paid persons in their place, and closing this opportunity for jobs for senior employees.
Jobs for seniors can include opportunities for employment, sometimes on a part-time basis, in service industries, including clerking in retail outlets, or service jobs in hotels and small resorts.  At a lower level of employment, some jobs for seniors might include cleaning services, either domestic or commercial. Obviously the range of possible jobs for seniors is very wide, and varies according to skills, opportunity and locale.
