Job guru Richard Fein, author of numerous interview books and articles, now offers his expertise to the over-55 set. According to a survey by the AARP, seven out of ten workers that are 45 and older plan to work during the retirement years. People are living longer than ever, and many are finding that retiring in their 50s or 60s leaves them feeling restless and may even leave them without enough money to maintain their accustomed lifestyle. For a variety of reasons, more and more people are finding themselves in the workplace at an advanced age and facing a new set of circumstances. The Baby Boomer's Guide to the New Workplace is an upbeat, yet realistic, book for people who plan to work during their senior years. It is a book about the reasons people work, the choices they make, what they enjoy, what they don't, and the techniques everyone needs to know to land the right job.

How do you prepare for a job search? What are the 10 principles of interviewing? What comes after the initial interview? In his 11 years as a college placement director, Richard Fein has helped literally thousands of undergraduates identify and deal with all the elements involved in landing worthwhile employment.

The interview remains the most important step in finding a job. But in preparation for the interview, many job seekers primarily concentrate on developing answers to anticipated questions. However, recent research shows that the questions asked by the interviewee often carry more weight with interviewers than the questions answered. Here's the first book to reveal the key questions interviewees should always ask at the interview.

A rich resource for any job seeker.

Over the course of a lifetime's worth of beautiful poems, as well as translations from Yiddish that read like beautiful poems in English, Richard Fein has created the song of himself and of his Brooklyn--Jewish world. It is a world preserved in lines that are a marvel of vigilant, always fascinated attention. In its sheer descriptive capacities, his verse is as open to radiant marvels and erotic candor as it is aware of the abrupt horrors of brute historical reality. Fein listens so closely and so deeply to the voices of filial memory that his Hebrew Bible poems speak to us in the same intimate and dramatic idiom as his family poems. This is poetry that in its undeviating focus of selfless attention enlarges our scope of human dignity and responsibility.
