Over 50? Tips for finding work

NEW YORK (CNN) - If you are looking for info on jobs for candidates aged 50 and up on the web, you'll be overwhelmed by the options.

To get started, check out these sites - RetirementJobs.com , YourEncore.com , for scientists and engineers, and RetiredBrains.com . You'll find job listings and career databases specifically for people over 50, as well as tips and advice on landing the interview and developing resumes.

Some of them charge a fee for access to their jobs databases, but some don't.

The big career sites like CareerBuilder also maintain their own sites for older workers. The AARP maintains a list of employers that welcome workers 55-plus at AARP.org -- which includes Scripps Health, SunTrust Bank and AT&T, plus 36 others -- and conducts webinars and job fairs. Go to AARP.org for details.

Sometimes, though, you need some real-world advice, when advice from the Internet just won't cut it. Members of the Five O'Clock Club attend weekly meetings and get advice directly from job counselors. But you'll pay for the privilege. The cost of a basic membership, according to the site, is $49.

If you've decided to put out your own shingle, the Small Business Administration has more than 10,000 experienced volunteers who train and counsel small business operators in a program called "SCORE." The SBA also offers low-cost loans to operators. Check it out at SBA.gov .
