Talk to your HR department

Keep an open and honest dialogue with your company as soon as you decide what to do about your retirement. HR can be a good resource if you are having trouble mapping out your future.

Mentor Inside and Outside Your Company

One of your greatest assets is your experience level and intellectual capital. Leverage this knowledge as a mentor to show your worth to your current employer and those you may work for in the future.”

Be open minded

Your employer may have been working around a pre-determined date you set. Therefore, deciding abruptly that you want to stay in the same job may not be in the cards. Talk to supervisors and if you have already been replaced on one assignment, determine what other projects may be a good fit for you.

Network. Network. Network.

While you try to figure out if you can stay with your current employer, it is in your best interest to network socially and professionally to see if anyone knows of any other positions for which you should apply. If your goal is to have a job, your network may be able to help you find a new one.
