AARP now offers a bit of resume advice and professional writing service to help baby boomers feel more comfortable applying and interviewing for new jobs.
The good news is that AARP and TopResume have partnered to help those in that age group.
AARP Foundation's SCSEP helps make connections between 55+ job seekers and employers. For more than 45 years, AARP Foundation's SCSEP has been providing employers with pre-screened, qualified candidates to fill vacant positions with no cost or risk to the employer https://jobs.aarp.org/
Hi I’m Marie and I have my opinions about your current situation. The AARP folks are there to make your second half of your life more of a friendly experience into your life experience as an mature adult. Enrollment and membership has its perks and business experience in the social and business aspect of older adults. That’s why I’m excited about it and want to pass this amazing experience on to you.
I too am 55 yrs. old and lost my job in June 2017. Still looking but I also went to AARP while waiting and seeking for employment. AARP will hire people 55 yrs and older. The pay is minimum wage and part time but it beats not having nothing at all. I was enrolled on Thursday and they usually send you to an assignment right away. While I am working for them I will continue to look for full-time permanent work.
Starting this Wednesday, Jobcase will be supporting a free, online workshop for older workers who are seeking jobs in the midst of the corona crisis! In partnership with AARP, Encore Boston, the City of Boston, and others, we'll be providing a free, 5 week webinar, starting on May 20th, sharing job-seeking basics, tips, strategies, and support align with challenges faced by jobseekers 50+!
Free registration here: https://states.aarp.org/massachusetts/mastering-the-job-search-for-people-over-50
There's a new topic each Wednesday and workshop participants will be here, in this jobcase group, to discuss the workshop and answer additional questions that may arise after (or before) each session.

Helping the customers
Thought I put my phone on not receiving calls but when I came back a customer was on the line

I enjoyed very much assisting 55+ population to gain new employable skills as well as learn a lot of helpful skills that benefited me. SCSEP is a wonderful program. Thanks for the opportunity to have been a participant in SCSEP.
