Switching careers—a challenge at any age—can be daunting for older workers, who may need to master new technologies or may face age discrimination. Now, a new guide from AARP Books/Sterling can help workers age 50-plus navigate the career-change process to pursue a long-deferred dream or simply keep afloat in the wake of a layoff.

In the AARP Crash Course in Finding the Work You Love, Samuel Greengard offers tips on how to work with a career counselor, harness job-search tools, attract recruiters, land interviews and even find life’s purpose. To order the book, visit AARP books.
