What's in it for ThirdQuarter workers?
When Canadians over 50 decide to delay or reverse retirement, they possess resumes that don't always tell the whole story. Sure, it lists job titles and some duties, but what about other skills and knowledge gained through work and life experiences?
ThirdQuarters have problem-solving skills, mentoring abilities, an appreciation for customer service, an understanding of the business world and a strong work ethic developed through careers, volunteer work and personal interests. Those are skills valued by businesses and organizations.
When ThirdQuarter workers register with the website, they gain access to a range of tools, services and links to resources in their community and across Canada. Through an interactive questionnaire, ThirdQuarters document their previous experience and assess their skills from job experience, volunteer work or personal interests and hobbies.
This information is translated into a skills profile, ready to be provided to businesses and organizations in 14 designated communities.
ThirdQuarter individuals can then monitor job opportunities in their community, look at information about firms and decide whether they want to send their skills profile to connect with a company or organization for further information and a job discussion.
