b'With Donna Rosato (http://time.com/author/donna-rosato-3/), Senior Writer at TIME MONEY on Career Strategies, Retirement Planning



Donna Rosato advises older listeners on how they can land jobs and get back into the workforce as a second career, probably with fewer hours. It is all about embracing change and being willing to try your hand at new skills. But even in this improved job environment, jobs are not going to fall into your lap like manna from the skies. Instead, Donna talks about key job seeking strategies and what job seekers should do to improve their chances at landing the jobs of their dreams. She also addresses new social media like Facebook and LinkedIn and how effective they are in helping folks find jobs.

She also addresses common concerns where people want to work beyond retirement age but don\\u2019t want to do something that\\u2019s well below their skill sets (down shift), or want jobs that give them more flexibility such as having fewer working hours so they can strike a good balance between working and being retired.'
