Tamara Erickson, a consultant in workforce trends and talent management solutions, and author of Retire Retirement: Career Strategies for the Boomer Generation joined “Total Career Success” on the radio to share career advancement tips for baby boomers. According to Tammy, current employers have a problem: there aren’t enough young people to take the place of retiring baby boomers. The recession is masking the problem for the short term, but employers are braced for the talent gap. For boomers, this is good. The power is shifting in their favor because they will have the power to renegotiate their relationship with their work, jobs and careers. There are three important strategies and tips that baby boomers who want and need to work can implement:

  1. Challenge assumptions
  2. Renegotiate your deal and get what you want
  3. Reinvent your career and your life
