5th Anniversary of Career Pivot - What is Next - Career Pivot 5th Anniversary of Career Pivot Copyright: atulvermabhai / 123RF Stock Photo February 13, 2017, marks the 5th anniversary of the Career Pivot brand and website. It was 5 years ago that this website was launched with the intention to support baby boomers in their career ambitions. That next year CareerPivot.com was selected for the Forbes Top 100 Career website list. What I found surprising then was that there were very few websites dedicated to the cause of helping baby boomers. I wrote a post in September of 2013 calledForbes Top 100 Career Websites List Dissectedand later in October I wroteAre Baby Boomers Ignored by the Career Industry? Until very recently, baby boomers were the largest segment of the working population. Millenials have passed us and it appears that baby boomers have started to retire in droves, at least according to the article published in Bloomberg.com titledOlder Americans Are Retiring in Droves â€"The exodus of the baby boomers from the workforce resumes. Are We Still Ignored? Hannah Morgan, aka the Career Sherpa, released her list of the top 50+ Career Website Lista few weeks back. She only listed 3 websites dedicated to the Over 50 Job Search: AARPâ€"AARP’s job expert, Kerry Hannon, covers issues that the older job seeker has to know in order to compete. You’ll find all the issues you need to take into consideration while hunting down your next job as a more seasoned professional. You should listen to my interview with Kerry on the Repurpose Your Career Podcast. My Lifestyle Careerâ€"My Lifestyle Career written by Nancy Collamer, offers advice for people over 50 on how to transition into a new career before retirement, often referred to as “second act” careers. Nancy also writes for Next Avenue (PBS site for people over 50). CareerPivotâ€"Over course, CareerPivot was on the list! She did not list NextAvenue.org the PBS website that focuses on Baby Boomers but with a much bigger focus: money security, health wellbeing, caregiving and much more. So the answer is still …YES! Career Pivot 5th Anniversary I am running my 1st annual Career Pivot readers survey. My good friend Dara Quackenbush played grammar police on me and told me it cannot be the 1st annual because it is the 1st survey. Next year it can be the 2nd annual reader’s survey. If you have not taken the survey, please take it now as it will help shape what happens with Career Pivot. What’s Next 2017 is the year Career Pivot becomes a membership website. There will be a free side that will continue on as you see it today. There will be a paid side that will include a monthly subscription. My goal is to keep the fee modest. Listen to the most recent episode In a couple of weeks, we will be publishing the results of the reader survey. We are approaching 100 respondents and it is pretty obvious there is a great need for both community support and coaching without incurring the cost of one on one coaching. When you take the survey, I will ask if you are willing to participate in a pilot group to aide in developing the direction of the website function and mission. If you have already taken the survey and still want to participate, just contact me by clicking hereand letting me know you want to participate. Help me help you by taking the survey.
