Her tone is practical, realistic and optimistic, with nitty-gritty tips about how to explore, what to expect, and the qualifications and skills you&#8217;ll need in a wide range of fields, including nonprofits, health care, education, sales and retail. Especially helpful: her &#8220;Great Jobs Workshop,&#8221; including sections on assessing your skills, doing marketplace research, and updating networking, job-search, interview and tech skills.<\/p>\n<h1><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kerryhannon.com\/?attachment_id=2167\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2167\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2167\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/kerryhannon.com\/?attachment_id=2167\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kerryhannon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/book.stand_.great_.jobs_1.jpg?fit=367%2C422&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"367,422\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"_book.stand.great.jobs\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kerryhannon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/book.stand_.great_.jobs_1.jpg?fit=260%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kerryhannon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/book.stand_.great_.jobs_1.jpg?fit=367%2C422&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2167\" alt=\"_book.stand.great.jobs\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kerryhannon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/book.stand_.great_.jobs_1.jpg?resize=367%2C422&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"367\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kerryhannon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/book.stand_.great_.jobs_1.jpg?w=367&amp;ssl=1 367w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kerryhannon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/book.stand_.great_.jobs_1.jpg?resize=260%2C300&amp;ssl=1 260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 367px) 100vw, 367px\" \/><\/a>Read <a href=\" http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/article\/SB10001424127887324073504578108780886412860.html?mod=ITP_thejournalreport_1  \">Six Books To Build A Dream On<\/a> now:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>Click here to<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1118203682?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=kerrhann-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;creativeASIN=1118203682\"><\/p>\n<h1>BUY ON AMAZON<\/h1>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - http:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-small.png?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top:5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Digg\",\"Reddit\",\"Bebo\",\"Delicious\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"small\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"The Wall Street Journal Calls Great Jobs for Everyone 50+ a &quot;Must Read&quot;\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WORKING IT\u00a0&#8220;Great Jobs for Everyone 50+: Finding Work That Keeps You Happy and Healthy\u2026and Pays the Bills&#8221; by AARP columnist Kerry Hannon is a must read for anyone mulling what kind of work will work for you in the next phase of your life.
