Retiring from your current job is no reason for you to be depressed about future work opportunities.
Believe us when we say that even after you have spent more than half your life working, and have reached retirement age, there are still opportunities out there for you.
The trick is to make sure that your job application documents are well-structured. This is especially true where resume summaries are concerned. Since they mark the beginning of your resume, it is important to structure them properly, and fill them in with information that will actually matter to the person reading it.
As a retiree, you have a lot going for you. How?
Well, if you have retired, it means that you have spent significant amount of time – half your life, really! – working in a certain capacity.
This also means that you are now a pro at whatever it is that you were doing. And retiring does not necessarily mean that you are a bygone. This is what you have to prove in a resume summary. Does it seem difficult to pull off?
It may seem that way, but in actuality, it is just rehashing your abilities and qualifications for a job, and putting them in a resume summary, just like you did the last time you made a resume.
Here are some examples of resume summaries for retirees, which you can look through for reference purposes:
