Since the economic downturn in 2008, Patty Baranski’s story sounds all too familiar. Patty worked in administrative support for over twenty 25 years. Her resume reflects impressive experience in the corporate sector, at a private university as well as a not-for-profit organization. She, like so many others her age, has adjusted to a variety of changes in technology as well as work environments during her career. She is too young to retire and even though she is a good worker, budget cuts have forced her into the growing ranks of the highly trained, vastly experienced unemployed.
If you are an employer, don’t be fooled into thinking that a more mature applicant will not be able to keep up in your fast paced business environment. On the contrary, older employees may possess the maturity needed to think their way through difficult situations and even find a better, more efficient way to get the job done.
Lack of training on a specific software application is not a concern. They have learned to adjust to a variety of new office products and yours won’t be that much different. A responsible work ethic will help make your company run more smoothly and employees with a dependable track record will save you time and money in the long run.
