FORGET THAT YOU ARE 50 OR MORE! GO FOR THE JOB YOU WANT!

If you go to the interview,
you can have a donut when you get home!

You go by many names: seniors, boomers and even the 55-plus crowd. But no matter what name you prefer to go by, one thing is certain – today's savvy workplace vets are sticking around the water cooler a little longer, and if they've already retired, they're often jumping back into the job market and saddling up once again.

Thanks to modern medicine and inspiration from the likes of Jane Fonda and the "Godfather of Fitness," Jack LaLanne, today's 55+ population is healthier, hipper and making more money than ever before. In fact, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 20 percent of Americans 55 years and older will be working by 2015. In 2000, the figure was just 13 percent. And almost 70 percent of workers who have not yet retired recently told AARP that they plan to work well into the traditional retirement years – or they don't plan on ever retiring!

Some 55-plusers need to work to pay the bills. Many pick up work for a little extra cash to fuel their leisure pursuits, while others simply want a productive outlet for their spare time.

So if you're over 55 and looking to grab an hourly job, you've come to the right place. Here are a few tips for job seekers over 55 starting their job search.
