Topics will focus on practical, proven advice for workers over 50 looking to resume an established career or try something brand new, a release said.

"We’ll discuss how resumes and interviewing techniques have changed recently, mistakes that can trip up older workers and how recent global events have actually made mature workers highly valuable," the release said.

This is part of a six-session series that covers the essentials of the Creative Job Search workshop.

During the workshop, participants will learn:

  • Key strategies for a successful job search
  • How to take your resume and interview from good to outstanding
  • How to address employers’ potential concerns regarding age/over-qualification
  • How to keep the momentum going for as long as it takes
