Say good-bye to all your gym and Tai Chi\u00a0buddies, and your McDonald morning coffee friends.<\/p>\n<p>3. Decide how much you are short and really need to survive, then decide what type of job: full-time or part-time.<\/p>\n<p>4.

Re-establish your networking, talk to your friends and old colleagues, hairstylist, barber, shop-keepers, neighbours or anyone who listen.<\/p>\n<p>6. Learn new tools, use the Internet, cell phone, get a Facebook account, gmail address, twitter account.<\/p>\n<p>7. Dye your hair and put on a happy face.<\/p>\n<p>8. Look at those young job-seekers straight in the eyes, yes, your competitors, and don\u2019t feel guilty. We will all survive.<\/p>\n<p>9. Start pouncing the pavement.<\/p>\n<p>10. If nothing works, go back to school. It is never too old to learn new tricks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Through Rose-Coloured Glasses) You\u00a0have no choice.\u00a0You need to come out of\u00a0your retirement and start working.
