Second-Act Careers, How to Profit from Your Passions in Semi-Retirement

F. Scott Fitzgerald
once famously wrote that
"there are no second acts in American lives.”  Well, the WEBS Career and Educational
Counseling Service is out to prove him wrong. 
On Thursday, October 17, at the Scarsdale Public Library it will hold a
free workshop titled “Second-Act Careers: How to Profit from Your Passions in
Semi-Retirement.”  Nancy Collamer, MS, an
author and career coach will conduct the 90-minute session that begins at 7:30
pm.

Attendees will find out about new ways
to find flexible work after “retiring” from their full-time job; learn
realistic methods to turn expertise and interests into part-time income; and obtain
information and advice on making these transitions.



Nancy Collamer is a career consultant, speaker and author of Second-Act Careers: 50+ Ways to Profit
from Your Passions During Semi-Retirement. 
She has written extensively about careers for a number of websites
including Oxygen Media (1998-2001) AARP.com, MariaShriver.com and Job-Hunt.org
and has spoken at venues ranging from Harvard Business School to the California
Governors Conference on Women.  Her advice has been featured in numerous
media outlets including NBC Nightly News, The New York Times, CNN, Redbook,
Ladies Home Journal, O Magazine and Fortune.
