Here it is: help for those in their 40s, 50s and 60s who are struggling to find a new job, find a better job, or make a move towards self-employment. Packed with essential advice distilled from a network of job clubs for the over 45s, Finding Work After 40 will help you create a personal strategy for success and overcome your biggest obstacle: age discrimination.

With this book, you'll learn how to:

discover and understand your key skills (know yourself);describe yourself persuasively in person and in writing (sell yourself);network effectively to acquire, develop and maintain useful contacts (network like crazy). And if finding a job isn't the right answer for you, the self-employment section tells you how to start your own business or even opt for a portfolio career. Whatever career choice you make and whether your experience comes from the public or private sector, Finding Work After 40 will guide you towards success.
