Why It Matters
More South African companies are letting their bosses and experienced staff work longer. Momentum, a big financial company, just raised its retirement age from 60 to 63. This is because there are not enough skilled workers in some jobs. Companies want to keep the people they already have.
What This Means for Your Job Search
When older workers stay longer, there are fewer openings for senior roles. But it also shows that companies value experience and skills. If you are an older job seeker, you may find more chances to keep working. If you are younger, you may need to wait a bit longer for promotions. But you can also learn from experienced workers.
- Focus on skills that are in demand, like digital tools and AI.
- Show that you can keep learning and adapting.
- Look for companies that value experience and offer training.
Overall, the job market in finance and other industries is changing. Companies are fighting for talent. So, keeping your skills up to date is very important.
