Employment counselors can play an important role in helping mature job seekers obtain work. Case studies are cited in which applicants were assisted by the counselor in assessing their experience and abilities and relating them to the job market. Testing may be a useful tool in the assessment process. Among the types of cases discussed are retirees who want to return to work, homemakers reentering the business world, and men and women seeking a change of occupations.
