How does an older person get a foot in the corporate door. . .? |
. . . if they have a college degree in their past, but little or no work experience to include on a resume? It really depends on what you mean by "older"; are you 32 or 62? You have a different set of options depending on how old you are. In any case, if you haven't been working, what have you been doing with your life? If at all possible, I would try and spin your life experience so that it looks good on a resume. You don't want to lie, of course, but many life skills can be useful to an employer. I think that getting the first job will be the toughest. Once you get a little recent work experience under your belt, things should go smoother. You are going to think I'm nuts! Try the local library for a group called SCORE! Just ask the librarian about them. They are there to help small businesses with startup issues. I'll bet that if you were able to get involved you might be able to get some consulting fees and even a position if someone is getting startup money! When you say not on a resume does it mean that you ran your own company or didn't work at all? If not at all, think about what you like to do and what you are good at then try the links: http://www.careerbuilder.com http://www.craigslist.com |
