Tips to find a job after retirement
Are you retired and looking for a job? Here’s how you can find a job after your retirement.
Don’t wait to retire
Begin planning your post-retirement career while still employed—identify your goals and networks early, as waiting until after retirement can make finding work much harder.
Tap all possible avenues
Don’t rely on just one route—tap job portals, networks, and contacts all at once to boost your chances. The broader your reach, the better.
Start with short stints
Start with short-term projects or freelance gigs, as companies often prefer these for retired professionals. They strengthen your resume and help you stay connected to your skills and industry.
Be ready for less
Be ready to accept lower pay and fewer perks than you had as a full-time employee. Insisting on the same terms can make finding work harder.
Be open to new fields
Be open to changing fields or roles if new opportunities arise. Keep learning through courses and real-world experience to stay relevant.
