Deciding to Unretire: A No BS Job Search Playbook

Retirement isn’t a death sentence. It’s a career pivot.

Are you bored out of your mind? Is the cost of living eating your nest egg faster than you can replenish it? Or do you simply have too much "wisdom capital" to spend the rest of your life on a golf course?

Whatever your reason, the world of work has changed. If you’re trying to find a job using a 1994 strategy in the current economy, you aren't just wasting your time—you’re telegraphing that you’re obsolete.

Deciding to Unretire is the definitive, "No BS" guide for the experienced professional ready to launch their Second Act. Written by veteran job search coach Jeff Altman, this playbook strips away the corporate jargon and gives you the tactical maneuvers needed to dominate a youth-obsessed market.

Inside this playbook, you will discover:
• The Clarity of Purpose: Are you looking for a "bridge job," a "passion project," or a high-level consulting role? Stop guessing and pick your lane.
• The 15-Year Rule: How to modernize your resume to kill age bias before a recruiter even sees your name.
• The Unretirement Quiz: A brutal, honest self-assessment tool to match your personality to the right role.
• The Hidden Market: 10 diverse career paths—from "Social Navigator" roles to high-touch "Care Economy" positions—where your experience is the primary prize.
• Negotiating Your New Life: How to negotiate for flexibility over salary to protect your lifestyle and your Social Security earnings.
• The Tech Gap Solution: A directory of the 10 essential platforms to prove you aren't "tech-illiterate."

Stop being the "retired guy" or “retired gal” and start being the most reliable, experienced, and sought-after person in the room. The labor market is desperate for the stability only you can provide. It’s time to take your wisdom to the highest bidder.
