You’re a great candidate for Silver Professionals if…

1. You Understand Recessions

Older workers have seen hard times before — the bursting of the 1990stech bubble, recession in the early 1980s, the oil crisis of themid-1970s — and they understand that businesses have to adjust. Knowing,too, that expansions always follow, older workers can bring a steadyperspective to a jumpy workplace.

2. You Have a Healthy Fear of Slowdowns

Sure, you’ve seen them before. Older workers’ steadiness can beaccompanied by a fair dose of worry: You know that downturns can lastfor long periods of time, and you’ve witnessed the obliteration of jobsecurity, so you know that you need to be increasingly ready and willingto do what it takes to keep your job.

3. You’re Willing to Work Part Time

Older workers most crave flexibility, according to aRetirementJobs.com survey. Many want to spend more of their time doingthings they enjoy — traveling, perhaps, or playing with theirgrandchildren — and they’re often willing to accept a part-time scheduleor reduced hours. As employers increasingly cut back on hours, awillingness to be flexible can make a job seeker more attractive to agreater variety of companies.

4. You Have Real-life Experience

Today, employers need workers who can hit the ground running, andolder workers have more real-world, less theoretical experience, saysJohn Challenger of Challenger Gray & Christmas. “They’ve been therebefore and seen more situations,” Challenger says.

5. You Want to be Challenged:

Forget resting on your laurels — a Penn State study found that challenging work is the thing that older workers want most.

6. You Know That Tech Savvy Isn’t Everything

There will be younger workers with greater expertise in computerprograms, social networking, and new tech trends — but you can sellyourself on the alternative. Businesses can’t rely solely on tech savvy;they also need people with sales and leadership skills. You can providesupport for the young tech talents.

7. You Don’t Need Constant Feedback

Ron Alsop, author of The Trophy Kids Grow Up, reports that millennialworkers may want weekly, or even daily, evaluations from theiremployers. Earlier in your career, you probably wanted lots of feedback,too. Today, you’ve got a pretty good handle on your value, and you’remore confident in your abilities.

8. You’re Healthier

A recent study by employee assistance program provider ComPsych foundthat older workers — in their 50s or 60s — are likelier to have healthydiets, exercise regularly and have lower stress levels than workers intheir 30s.

9. You Can Manage Yourself

A recent study by TalentSmart, a provider of psychologicalassessments, found that self-management skills seem to increase withage. TalentSmart said that “60-year-olds scored higher than50-year-olds, who scored higher than 40-year-olds, and so on.”

10. You’re Able to Control Your Emotions

The same TalentSmart study found that when it comes to managingemotions, “baby boomers reign supreme.” Other studies show older workershave low levels of work-related stress. A cool head and calm demeanorcan make a major difference in workplace dynamics during hard times.

11. Your Network is Bigger

All those years of networking groups and Chamber of Commerce meetingshaven’t been for nothing. You’ve got deep reserves of friends,colleagues, and contacts in the community. That’s an asset to anemployer who’s trying to get out of a sales rut. It’s also helpful to ahiring manager who wants to check out your reputation.

12. You’re Loyal

Take Colorado, for example, where older workershave the lowest turnover rate among working groups. Borders Group beganmaking older workers a bigger percentage of its employee mix in the1990s, when it found that workers over age 50 were staying longer withtheir jobs and were happier in them.

13. You’re Not Competing For a Top Spot

You’re working more for steady income now—not to climb the ladder.Female baby boomers were more likely to think “good for her/him,” if acompetitor won a new contract or client, according to a recent AmericanExpress study of female business owners.

14. You’ve Been Green a Long Time

Companies are increasingly using their environmental sensitivity as aselling point, and while gen Y is often characterized as the mostpassionately “green” age group, many older workers were raised withgreen principles: using a pencil down to the nub, repairing holes andworn spots in clothes, reusing jars and using little (or no) airconditioning. See you were green before it was cool.

15. You’re a Team Player:

Older workers tend to be settled and comfortable in their own skin,John Challenger says. Those tendencies can help them fit in and work aspart of a team more easily.

16. You’re Willing to Learn:

Older workers actually exhibit a greater willingness to learn thanyounger workers, according to a 2005 study by a Louisiana StateUniversity professor. Workers in their 50s and 60s are even morecommitted to technological change, the study found.

17. You’re Reliable

You’ll get your work done. It sounds simple, but that’s a huge asset for an employer. A 1998 surveyby the National Council on the Aging found that 97 percent of theemployers surveyed said older workers were thorough and reliable incompleting their work.

18. You’re More Satisfied With Your Job and Your Benefits

Job satisfaction appears to increase with age, and workers ages 65and older tend to be the most satisfied with the work they’re doing. AUniversity of Chicago study published last year found that 71 percent ofthe 65-plus group was very satisfied with their work, compared with 42percent of those ages 18 to 29.

19. You’re No One-trick Pony

Over their careers,many workers have spent time in multiple industries, Challenger notes,and that ability to cross-pollinate is highly useful to employers rightnow.

20. You’re Cheaper

This isn’t always true, but if you’re starting someplace new, you’relikely to be cheaper. (Or you should consider taking a cut in pay orhours where you’re currently working.) After all, you aren’t providingfor a gaggle of kids anymore, and you may be looking for a more flexibleschedule of reduced hours. Many seniors just need some income now tosupplement their suffering investments.
