Dear SilverHairs,<\/strong><\/font><\/div>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
In response to various discussion topics that come up during club gatherings, I <\/font>am <\/font>inviting a few people from the SilverHairsClub to join this discussion.  We do this discussion via email.  I hope all whom I have invited can express and give some idea as to how to move in this direction.  For this discussion, we need to be positive, as negatives are plentiful.  We also need to respect others’  ideas.<\/font><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Patricia has a point.  Her <\/font>viewpoint and interest are always in the minds of most Silverhairs.  And I feel exactly the same as you, in that we are all experienced, but that sooner or later, in our environment, the situations change.  We lose our jobs somehow, and then we have still all the committments in the world.  Many of us need to work, even during retirement.  Fact is we have the skills, but suddenly on retirement or losing our jobs, this demand is lost.<\/font><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
I have cc’d Andrew and others, because Andrew has also strong views on this, and let increase the list so that we can come up with something.  Personally, I think MOM have been trying hard with our group, but due to supply and demand, jobs for upper level management are not always forthcoming.  This explains why many SilverHairs have gone into direct selling.  <\/font><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
If you ask me, I see a very small market for our group in Singapore.  Why?  We have become expensive, and employers do consider us a burden.  Also, I believe the expectations between employers and our group do not align.  One thinking the other is too expensive and the other thinking they will not pay for the services.<\/font><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
But, <\/font>I do see that there is a group of people and companies who have a demand for people with experience.  Singaporeans are in demand, but perception is we are not cheap. But, then we have the experience.  I do see demands in the Asian region, particularly China and India, where Asian companies wanting to set up offices overseas want the expertise and experience.<\/font><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Perhaps, this is the direction we can pursue. <\/font><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Can each of you give your ideas on how to proceed from here.  What can the SilverHairsClub members do, with reference to this topic?<\/font><\/div>\n
