For some young, harassed, and unhappy professionals, retirement is a much awaited day. But for old employees who are working their dreams, retirement is probably not a welcoming thought. Employees who love their jobs and found passion in their works will find it difficult facing retirement. My father was part of this category. A few months before his retirement day, he was so worried and felt it was the end of his road. According to Dr. Henry M. Hughes, a retired chairman of the guidance department for the Schenectady City School District, people who are nearing retirement must answer the question: "Who am I -- my employment or my self-worth?” For most people, according to Dr. Hughes, “self-worth comes from employment. When they stop working, they begin feeling less about themselves” His advice to young workers and soon-to-be retirees is to PLAN your retirement.

Applicants approach a company because of two major reasons. * The applicant needs a good source of income . The reason why we are burning our asses for almost 8 hours a day is because we need to earn a living. We need money to support our needs, food on our table, education for our children, shelter for our love ones, and so on. When applying for a new job, an applicant’s major motivation is to find a company that can give him or her a stable source of income. * Company’s reputation . The second reason (and probably the most important one) why an applicant approaches a particular company for employment is because of the company’s reputation.
