Ageism is now a massive problem for older managers and professionals who have been made redundant. The guide presents a successful programme for mature workers, one that has been developed and tested by a network of executive job clubs. Readers are taken through a process of self-assessment, shown how to re-examine their career goals in light of their age, and then given a set of tools to help achieve their objectives, whether it is finding new employment or becoming self-employed.
