Working after pension age: tips and tricks for residents of Chistopol

20 February 2018, Tuesday

Specialists of the Government Employment Service for Chistopol municipal district organized a specialized employment fair for senior citizens who were able and wished to work.

According to specialists, job-searching seniors need to be flexible and realistic about their employment opportunities; in addition to language barriers and obstacles encountered by job searchers of all ages, seniors are facing a job market where ageism really does exist. In fact, reports show that regardless of labor laws, many employers are reluctant to take on a senior-aged new hire due to existing stereotypes of the abilities of senior-aged workers.
