Are you over 50 and happy with your career? It is by no means an impossible dream – and it’s up to each and every one of us to take our lives into our own hands. Whether it’s a question of psychological stress at work, fear of redundancy, or simply the feeling that you don’t want to waste the remaining years of your working life doing something you don’t enjoy: this manual gives practical guidance on how to stand out in today’s competitive work environment, sell yourself on the employment market, return to work after a career break, or successfully start up your own business.

Featuring a plethora of sound advice, useful checklists, and easy-to-follow instructions, the strategies in this book are illustrated by case studies from the author’s practice.
