Interview Lab supports SeniorsPlus
SeniorsPlus is an association having the goal of offering a structured, dedicated and tailored support to professionals aged 55 and above. And – in addition – to help them reintegrating back into the work market.
Why does Interview Lab support SeniorsPlus?
The 55 and above represent an incommensurable richness of know-how and social skills. Based on what I have observed in my work, they also provide good evidence of their skills and competences during job interviews.
In fact, among their talents, I have retained some in particular:
- Some specific competences (e.g. risk management, interpersonal relationships, negotiation skills, respect, calm during tough times);
- Strong sense of loyalty toward the organization;
- Good capability and willingness to share value adding knowledge with others in the organisation.
A senior aged 55 or more – who takes on a new professional challenge – can bring a lot to the organization. And will stay for long, minimum 10 years!
. . . How many younger professionals would ensure the same, and stay as long in the same job?
During a job interview, the questions to ask are:
- Which are the needs of the organization and the job?
- Which competences are required?
- What is needed to enhance the level of competences required?
The question is not to know the age of the candidate!
