Fairfax 50+ Employment Expo - If you are 50+ and looking for a job or a career change, don’t miss this opportunity to meet dozens of job recruiters! Admission and parking are free and no registration is necessary – just drop by! The event takes place Friday, May 30 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Fairfax County Government Center, 12000 Government Center Parkway, Fairfax, VA. The event offers seminars on changing careers, online job searching, continuing education, starting your own business, job training, resume critiquing and job interviewing. At noon, Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman Sharon Bulova and David Gasme, Jewish Council for the Aging, will welcome participants. Following this, Joyce A. Russell, vice dean of the University of Maryland’s School of Business and contributor to the Washington Post’s Capital Business, will discuss the importance of job coaching. The event is sponsored by the Jewish Council on the Aging, Fairfax County and community partners.

50 is the new 80 when it comes to employment.

Don't bother.

Start a new cupcake business.

Sadly, age discrimination is alive and well in the workplace. If you are over 40, it would be in your best interest to explore options to make money as an independent consultant or business owner in the event that you are laid off and cannot find full time work as an employee.

In any case, kudos to the sponsors of this event.

Hope you were joking, like FroYo they're pretty saturated already. Every other shopping center has one like starbucks.

You want easy money cooking, bring back Cheasapeake Bay Seafood House...the original one with the nets and paddles in between the booths and the original recipe hot out the grease hushpuppies and butter were all you could eat while you waited for your steamed peeled spiced shrimp or alaskan crab legs all you can eat, posse of 5 ate for about 100 including sodas.

i see the corporate office still exists, so if they could bring back the actual restaurant, I would gladly pay $60 for all you could eat crablegs, steamed shrimp, hushpuppies, slaw, fries, and soda, that would be great!!!!

Or who do I gotta pay around here.....

CBSH is owned by Chillis.

Get some cheap land out in the country. Way out. You only need an acre. Grow your own food, use local charity health care, join a church.

I need 5+ acres. I have a dirt bike to ride and a nice pool and huge hot tub to build to relax in.
