The 50+ Re-employment Group met at Jewish Family Services on Monday, 28 January 2013 and 21 people were present. There was an article in the Dallas Morning News on Sunday 27 January 2013 about jobs that pay between $38,000 and $68,000 going away. Robots are doing many jobs and other jobs are being outsourced.

We need words that make a powerful statement about ourselves to use in 30-second introduction. These need to be descriptive and specific; avoid generic words that describe a large group of people. Have words for conversation that identify what makes us unique. Find ways to be different for all the other applicants applying for the job that you are targeting.

This 50+ Re-employment Group (formerly called 50+ Networking Group) meets on most Monday afternoons at Jewish Family Services of Greater Dallas, 5402 Arapaho Road - Dallas, Texas 75248. Official information for this group and other networking groups hosted by Jewish Family Services of Greater Dallas is available at http://www.jfsdallas.org/ and http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/JFS-CareerNet/.
