HEALTHY OUTLOOK FOR JOBSEEKERS

LINDA Lewis, Kerry Corsalini and Sue Meyer are all aged in their 60s and all have recently landed new jobs.

They are now working for aged care organisation ACH Group in health and safety, internal auditing, and administration, respectively.

Lewis, 62, began her career as a nurse at the age of 17 and, after leaving her previous role, applied for six positions before being offered her current job.

“Experience, maturity and supporting others in the workplace is very rewarding,” she says.

Corsalini, 61, applied for many jobs after her previous role was made redundant before coming across her position.

“I think that working is good for your self-esteem,” she says.

“(It’s good) to know that you are still valued, that you can teach others, and continue to contribute.”

Meyer, 66, retired from full-time work three years ago and now works casual hours. She says work keeps her mind stimulated and she enjoys meeting new people.
