8 Best Baby Boomer Career Websites - Career Pivot

8 Best Baby Boomer Career Websites - Career Pivot Best Baby Boomer Career Websites Good career websites that focus on baby boomers are few and far between. Recently, Hannah Morgan, The Career Sherpa, published her list of the Best Job Search Websites 2015. Of course, Career Pivot made the list in the over 50 category. There was only one other website in that category, Kerry Hannon’s website. Kerry regularly writes for Forbes, AARP, and PBS Next Avenue. When Career Pivot made the Forbes 2013 Top Career Website list, I wrote a post where I dissected the list, and was very disappointedâ€"there were only three career websites that focused on baby boomers. Let me give you my top 8 baby boomer career website list! Top 8 Baby Boomer Career Websites 1 â€" Career Pivot Okay, I am being self-serving, but Career Pivot is the only website that has made just about every list. 2 â€" Next Avenue NextAvenue.org is owned by PBS. This website was launched in 2012 to serve the baby boomer community exclusively. It focuses on many issues that baby boomers are facing, not just career-related. 3 â€" Life Reimagined Life Reimagined was launched by AARP starting in 2012 and relaunched in 2014. AARP is very late to the career market, but is making a good effort to address the needs of the baby boomer community. 4 â€" Kerry Hannon KerryHannon.com is a place where you will find all of Kerry’s materials. Kerry writes for Forbes, AARP, and PBS Next Avenue. You might say that Kerry is a pioneer in this field. 5 â€" My Lifestyle Career MyLifeStyleCareer.com is a creation of Nancy Collamer. Nancy is the author of Second-Act Careers: 50+ Ways to Profit from Your Passions During Semi-Retirement. What I love about Nancy’s book is that it lays your possibilities out in bite size chunks that are easily digestible. Her blog is full of great ideas. 6 â€" Encore.org Encore.org was created prior to the onset of theGreat Recession.Their mission statement says it all: Listen to the most recent episode Encore.org is building a movement to tap the skills and experienceof those in midlife and beyond to improve communities and the world. 7 â€" 40PlusCareerGuru 40PlusCareerGuru.blogspot.com is the creation of my dear friend Neil Patrick. Neil is like most of you. He was part of a redundancy (he is from the UK, so I need to use the funny language they use), and now works for himself. Neil started his blog in order to brand himself, and he has done a fabulous job. 8 â€" John Tarnoff â€" Boomer Reinvention JohnTarnoff.com is the creation of John Tarnoff! Specifically, you will want to check out John’s blog. A career development coach, speaker, university educator and former media/entertainment executive, John Tarnoff focuses on personal and professional transformation across generations â€" reintegrating the Boomer Generation workforce into the rapidly evolving 21st century workplace, and developing programs, opportunities and curriculum to support newgenerations of leadersand entrepreneurs. Why not the top 10? My intention was to give you a top 10 list, but I could not find 10 well established websites! Let me point to two other websites that are either new or under new ownership ItsAllAboutMe.Today â€" Midlife Enpowerment ItsAllAboutMe.Today â€" This is a brand new website that was developed by another friend Hugh Taylor. Check it out. Boomers Next Step BoomersNextStep.com â€" Jenni Proctor bought this domain and has re-launched it. Check it out. Am I missing something?
