Funny how we aim for perfection all the time when experience itself will tell us that it just isn’t possible. Yes, we seniors have seen it all but that doesn’t mean we know all the ways of the world—and do it perfectly too—that, my friend is insane. And, well, it can also drive you insane trying to be one. The worse kind however is when a senior finds himself expecting [...]

Who says seniors need to go out there, to a place called jungle, with wild animals fiercely competing for a coveted position, just to get a job? Do you still have what it takes to land a job considering the fact that you might injure yourself in doing so? Kudos to those who still have it in them—the fighting spirit, but for those seniors who have already thrown their hands [...]

Don’t get me wrong, this old lady loves computing life to death! My computer’s the first thing I greet in the morning and it happens to be the only thing that sends me off to bed every night! I won’t even know where I’ll be without my computer or at the very least, a gadget to connect me to the rest of the world a.k.a the internet. When I’m home [...]

So it’s settled, seniors are definitely moving in for the [...]

So you finally realized—and accepted—that now is the right time for a career change but still a little doubtful if you still have the energy and time to do it. Of course, let’s not forget the financial aspect of it. However, it is not uncommon for seniors to hold on to that lifelong dream and actually fulfilling it. Most seniors often welcome thoughts of career changes when nearing retirement while [...]

Debunking myths about senior workers is quite hard since it comes with a little bit of discrimination on the side. You can’t really blame a 30-year old hiring manager to be doubtful of their senior applicants as it is already forged in their minds since childhood that older people should be treated delicately and they really couldn’t do what younger people can do which leaves many seniors jobless and unfortunately [...]

Gone are the days when you go from one company to another just to apply for mobile and internet plans. Back then, these two come in separates. Two plans, two bills, two different services.
