HOW TO KEEP UP YOUR JOB SEARCH GAME WHEN YOU’RE FEELING DRAINED Starting a new job search can seem easy in the beginning, but when you have been searching for a while, it can start to feel draining. Finding the energy to stay motivated and keep going can feel overwhelming. So how can you find the energy to keep going when you feel exhausted?   Start by challenging your mind-set. Instead of letting fatigue take over your mental state, acknowledge how you’re feeling without judgment. Take a few days off from the job search and instead meet with friends and talk about other things in your life. Then start again by sitting down and making a new plan. Stay open to new possibilities. Focus on broadening your scope, reaching out to companies that might not have been your first choice, but maybe there is something else to be curious about. This will create momentum and get you back to action.   Don’t limit yourself to job boards only. Talking to friends, family, and reconnecting with old colleagues can be more effective and lead to new ideas. Seek out job opportunities or companies that align with your personal values so they feel meaningful. When you emotionally connect with what you’re searching for, it’s more likely to keep you motivated and going. Finally, don’t lose hope. With a few actions everyday, you are sure to land that new opportunity. For more information and rocket-guidance visit us on www.rocket50.io. #change #jobsearch #careerover50

SUPER AGE Do you feel that your age is a burden? Or do you feel that there is excitement and opportunity coming with it? At rocket50.io, we innovate content and services based on collaboration with experts in #longevity, #HR and #science. We analyze #trends on what it means to grow old in our day and age. Here are 3 observations on why age comes packed with positive impact and something really super: 💡 BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY Our lengthening lives are creating new and varied consumer groups. If you're a business, this is an exciting period of time because you no longer just have to focus on youth. If Americans aged 50+ were their own country, they’d be the third-largest economy in the world. According to the AARP Longevity Economy Outlook report, consumers aged 50 and up contribute $8.3tn each year in economic activity to the US economy, with a GDP that’s expected to triple by 2050. By being inclusive of all generations and all market segments, you are capturing a much bigger piece of the pie. 💡 SOCIAL OPPORTUNITY With 5 generations in the workforce today, there is a lot of room for a culture of equality with each generation having their unique responsibility and measure in society. Older and younger people together builds empathy. Society tends to look at older populations as disposable. But we're seeing that populations are starting to have more in common than generations of the past and are remaining connected consumers for longer periods of time. This idea that 65 is a stopping point is moot— today it's a starting point. And that's exciting. 💡 CULTURAL OPPORTUNITY The traditional notion of age bubbles is being questioned, paving the way for a potential cultural transformation. Consumer attitudes have been fundamentally ageist, creating “problems” that require attention. For example, in the beauty industry, the use of terms like "anti-aging," "age defying," and "wrinkle repair" creates a negative connotation around aging, implying that there is something to be feared and corrected. This language reinforces the idea that aging is undesirable and that products are needed to combat it. Similar age-related biases can be seen across other industries such areas such as healthcare, media and technology. However, change is clearly on the horizon. At rocket50.io, we are optimistic about this shift. From an economic standpoint, disregarding older populations is unsustainable for businesses. We believe that fostering healthy aging is not only beneficial but also a positive step forward for society. And we guess there is nothing to add to what Trinny Woodall is saying about age. #ageing #life50plus #50plus #career50plus #age https://lnkd.in/ee_ZSSGX

CHANGE IS A CONSTANT IN LIFE At rocket50.io, we are focused on specific offers to empower people over 50 to create a career with meaning and joy – from 1:1 highly personalized coaching to self-guided upskilling programs. Change is a constant of life. And with ageing comes change in the way you assess, build or maintain your career. Here are our top 5 to lean into this change: 1. Focus On Your Strengths  Emphasize your years of experience, valuable skills, and notable accomplishments to demonstrate your value as an employee. By highlighting what you bring to the table, you can challenge ageist stereotypes and show that you are still a valuable asset to any organization. 2. Get tech interested  In today’s rapidly evolving world, it’s crucial to stay current with new technologies, industry trends, and best practices in your field. Continuously learning and adapting will not only keep you competitive but also showcase your willingness to embrace change and contribute to the growth of your organization. 3. Network Strategically Building a strong professional network is essential for older workers. Attend industry events, join relevant associations or groups, and leverage online platforms to connect with colleagues, mentors, and potential employers. Networking can provide you with valuable insights, job opportunities, and support from like-minded professionals. 4. Be Assertive  Advocate for yourself in the workplace by speaking up and making your contributions known. If you feel that your ideas or work are being overlooked or undervalued, assertively communicate your perspective and demonstrate the value you bring to the team. Don’t be afraid to request opportunities for professional development or advancement that align with your career goals. 5. Emphasize Your Soft Skills  Older workers often possess a wealth of soft skills, such as effective communication, leadership abilities, and problem-solving expertise. Highlight these skills on your resume during interviews to showcase the unique value you bring to the workplace. Employers increasingly recognize the importance of these skills and their positive impact on team dynamics. And, last but not least: speak up or address agism if you experience it.

TOO OLD? WHAT’S TOO OLD? Many people in their 50s embrace the idea of starting a business such as the amazing Julie Wainwright who is the CEO and cofounder of Ahara Med | Ahara Nutrition and Ahara.com. She previously also launched and led The RealReal in her mid 50s and knows what it takes to run business worth over 1 billion dollars! People over the age of 55 make up 21% of the U.S. population. This demographic owns 50.9% of U.S. small businesses, according to survey data from 3,000 entrepreneurs published by SCORE Mentors. The likelihood of entrepreneurial success increases with age. Based on the study, a 50-year-old founder is twice as likely as a 30-year-old to build a company that goes public or gets acquired. There are many great examples – from small businesses to larger corporations. We hope to deploy this mindset and the energy of our community into your consciousness so that you will think how much time you still have left in your life to do the very thing you have always wanted to do, no matter what your age is! Read Julie's point of view on aging in a recent Fortune article here https://lnkd.in/evaCc7zF Get in touch with www.rocket50.io to understand  🚀 How to identify your profitable niche 🚀 How to build your business framework 🚀 How to build Marketing strategies as an older entrepreneur #Entrepeurship #NewCareer #50plus  #longevity  #agediversity   #change Marie Jerusalem

BE YOU YOU YOU NOT ME ME ME. A strong #personalbrand can be a true gamechanger. But many people in their 50s struggle with the concept of it. The reasons are obvious: Many of us have a long career that is packed with expertise that needs to be transformed into a narrative and strategy that makes us look fresh, attractive, up-for-the-challenge and forward-looking, while additionally navigating the age-challenge. And if it wasn’t difficult enough to be on the stairway to our “late career”, where everything somehow feels different, it's the age where searching for a job is no longer a new adventure and for some of us, can be a stressful experience that sometimes leads to doubting your value and expertise. A strong personal brand can help there. It helps us with the 5Rs: 🚀 Reflect on what we have done 🚀 Remind ourselves about our achievements 🚀 Reconsider our strengths  🚀 Reemphasize our capabilities 🚀 Reinvent ourselves Therefore, let’s call it “rebranding”. So how do you get started? By asking the question: “What can I do for you?” Have a look at our CMO’s Susanne Deobald's article outlining her very genuine story and own experience. https://lnkd.in/d_hSr_Xb For more go to www.rocket50.io – our coaches will help you with individual consulting on everything around your late career. #change #rebranding #personalbranding #50plus #jobsearch50+ #career50+ #agediversity   #change

READY OR NOT? AI is a gamechanger. It’s no surprise that people’s feelings are mixed about it, but one thing that’s clear is that Artificial Intelligence is here to stay and we all need to be prepared to engage with it! A study on the impact of AI on the future of the workforce in the European Union and U.S. explains that older workers are often the most affected by AI, because AI performs tasks that often belong to jobs involving high levels of education and accumulated experience. At rocket50, we know that this technology is promising but potentially intimidating, especially to those who have not yet had the exposure to AI. But senior professionals without tech skills can still navigate and excel in this AI-driven world. AI isn’t here to replace but to augment. You can use it to leverage your expertise, gain deeper insights while combining it with your unique perspective that only years of experience can bring.  AI is be powerful, but it cannot replicate or truly understand all the experience you have gained over years of firsthand encounters and interactions. Here’s a little intro how you can get started with ChatGPT and how you can benefit from it in your job search. https://lnkd.in/dzXqRt3e - more on www.rocket50.io #AI #NewTech #chatgpt #50pus  #longevity  #agediversity   #change
