With all the talk of people wanting to – and needing to – work longer, the concept of older workers pursuing ‘portfolio careers’ has been increasingly mentioned. However, a survey of senior executives published this week reveals its not that easy. There are, according to those surveyed, 3 main obstacles when it comes to securing work . A third said finding suitable roles was a problem, a quarter said adjusting to the uncertainty of whether work would be available was another and one in five said the constant need to network was a problem. According to Garry Sharp, director of IDDAS – the organisation which carried out the survey, “I think the message that comes out…is that people have to be selective when they are building a portfolio career. Its not as easy as people think, it takes longer to establish and requires a great deal of planning, concerted networking and self-marketing.” |
