Beware of the potential career challenges for baby boomer men approaching (or past ) 50 years of age!
If you are a man approaching or passing fifty years of age brace yourself for some career turbulence! Be prepared to quickly reinvent yourself by acquiring new skills and sharpening those that you already possess.
“Aging Baby Boomers are suffering a harsh employment bust.” “People losing jobs are increasingly male and increasingly older.” “So many of these men were coasting to retirement, working at good jobs and earning good pay.” http://www.usatoday.com/printedition/news/20090730/1aolderworkers30_cv.art.htm
Whether you are a long tenured top performer who feels secure at your job or an individual who is less tenured and less secure, it really doesn’t matter. Once you hit and pass the big five O, be prepared for change!
