[quote=Anonymous]Hello this is such a tough economy to be transitioning back to workworld.   I helped my sister get back to working after a divorce.  She is midforties, bachelor's degree and very old banking and admin experience.  I also volunteered with organization to help women get back in job market.  My take is that it is completely worth the money to get some help with the resume, it will only be a few hundred.  I helped redo resumes in the volunteer job and can't tell you how many I saw that would close the door on possible jobs.  Be sure he knows what he's seeking...and realistically, not too many admins make 50s or 60s to start. I'd say 40s are more realistic based on the dozen or so people I worked with.  And there are so many people applying for jobs now, each opening has dozens of applications, really the best way is through personal connections and networking.  Be sure he's up to speed with the business networkignj sites.  Don't close off paying for 5-6 sessions with a counselor, getting a good job that maximizes income is a great return on 1,000 investment if you can swing it.  My husband went to a a counselor for six session when he was job transitioning.  He argued we couldn't' afford it but it provided a great structure and he got two offers pretty soon after the new resume.  This is not an area to skimp in![/quote]
