Working After Retirement for Dummies

The friendly guide for retirees who want to get back into the workforce

More than 76 million baby boomers will begin retiring in 2011. Eighty percent of boomers expect to continue working past the age of 65 due to financial and healthcare concerns (seniorcitizensguide.com, 1-06). Working After Retirement For Dummies shows retirees and workers approaching retirement age how to stay in the workforce and thrive after 65 or get back into the workforce after retirement. The book covers new job searching and resume writing; how to overcome employer myths about retirement age workers; and the flexibility of various career options from telecommuting to job sharing. In addition, it also covers nontraditional job search methods that work particularly well for seniors. Even retirement age workers who just want to volunteer their time will find helpful, straightforward advice on getting back to work at any age.

Some because they were bored, but many because their money just isn’t going as far as they thought. Others have gone back to work to get access to group health insurance, because it is just too expensive to buy on an individual basis.
Lita has over a dozen books on the market, including Streetwise Crash Course MBA, Streetwise Retirement Planning, and Alpha Teach Yourself Retirement Planning in 24 Hours, as well as books on Social Security and Medicare.
