Retirement may not always stand for waning into stupor. Here are some ways how you can remain employable and engaged.
Retirement may not always stand for waning into stupor. Here are some ways how you can remain employable and engaged.
1) Tap the network
Alumni associations and professional institutes can assist in improving the job search. One can also submit an application for membership to professional groups and policy think tanks which are in search of professionals for part-time projects.
2) Get in touch with consultants
Reaching out to job consultants who regularly need a record of professionals can lay open new doors of opportunities.
3) Build your image
Subscribing and contributing to field magazines, taking part as a speaker in educational institutes might not pay well, but will help you in building image and repute.
4) Search for advisory jobs
Professionals must search for advisory jobs which match their capability, rather than being fixed on the sector they have always worked in.
5) Invest in a resource
Professionals in their early sixties must invest in a part time resource or a secretary if they desire to keep on working for long. Professionals are habitual of having a layer of support and infrastructure around them when they work, and the lack of this after retirement can be uncomforting.
