This book is the fifth in a series of six pocket-sized books written for career changers and laid-off workers. Each book is written at a 7th- to 10th-grade reading level and contains examples, hands-on self-discovery exercises, and step-by-step advice for a successful job search. This book describes a job search strategy that makes "overqualified" an advantage. Chapter 1 focuses on who the players are--the law, the older worker, the job market, and the job seeker. Four ways to combat age bias are described: ignore it, confront it, litigate, or expect and avoid it. Chapter 2 provides a strategy that includes the following: preparing for the job search by preparing mentally, identifying weaknesses, updating the resume, enrolling in a computer class, and setting a job goal; using the hidden job market; and practicing for the interview. Chapter 3 covers what to do if turned down, including following up, handling rejection, and troubleshooting. Other contents include names and addresses of six national resource organizations, a bibliography of 10 helpful books for job seekers, an index, and space for notes. (YLB)
