Help a 60-year-old father find a job

?

My father, who has been a civil engineering supervisor all his life, was dismissed.

Due to the harsh environment, the company took pains to persuade him to leave his job in the sixth month after he was 60 years old.

Because it conforms to the labor contract law, there is no need to give economic compensation.

Fortunately, my father bought out social security in advance and had a pension.

It's just that every time I think of my father working in that company 16 years without any security, I always feel sad.

Like many older workers, my father has a contented mind. He grinned and said, now that the company is like this, it would be nice to pay all the wages.

Father doesn't like fishing and raising flowers, and he is not interested in bringing his grandchildren.

Strong and lack of leisure, he is doomed to do nothing at home.

After finishing the house repair work, my father began to criticize the sanitary conditions at home.

Even if my 6-year-old son gets the ground dirty, it will cause him strong discomfort. He will scold his grandson for being unclean and mop the floor behind him.

I know all this is because my father retired at home and failed to find the value of his existence.

"Hurry and help him find something and get him out!" My mother complained to me many times at home.

Considering that there is a 6-year-old child at home and a grandson who will be born in less than two months, the mother's appeal is very reasonable.

What jobs can retirees find?

My first thought is the doorman.

In my impression, he is the old man in charge of going in and out, sitting in the guard room with a teacup and dozing off. There is no age limit and no hard skill requirements.

This work is simple and suitable for retirees.

After inquiring, the logistics park not far from home is recruiting doormen.

My father happily put on his suit and shoes, brought his mobile phone and reading glasses, got on my pink electric car and hurried there.

After taking a sip of the cigarette I handed him, the concierge slowly spit out the smoke, revealing brown front teeth, and casually asked his father about his past work experience.

Father answered, stroking a few blown hairs with his hand, indicating that he used to be a manager and was absolutely competent as a janitor.

I can only stand by with a pious face and stare at the cigarette in the director's hand so as to replenish it in time before it burns out.

After roughly negotiating the work content and treatment, I took my father back.

Before leaving, the director of the doorman got up and dusted the ashes scattered on his body, saying that you can come to work tomorrow.

I thought it was over.

Who knows that a few days after returning to the company, my daughter-in-law sent a WeChat asking me to help my father find another job.

I am puzzled and ask why.

"Dad learned from neighbors that the logistics park there often presses wages, and it will not be issued for half a year.

"And dad feels that the working environment of the logistics park over there is poor, there are many trucks coming in and out, and it is dusty all day. ...

"In the past two days, he ran to the city every day and said that he had found a job as a security guard with a monthly salary of 1800, still waiting for news.

"Later, I went to my former colleagues, but most of them retired at home to take care of their grandchildren, danced square dances and planted flowers and grass ..."

I put down my mobile phone, thinking of my father who is over 60 years old riding a pink electric car every day, and his hair is almost bald, and I can't help but blame myself.

Although my father can't be idle, if I can get along better, my father won't be so hard. At his age, I have to look at people's faces everywhere.

Blame yourself, or continue to face life, may be the daily life of us ordinary people.

I made a serious call to my father.

After knowing his actual job responsibilities, he began to analyze his father's disadvantages and advantages in job hunting.

It is impossible to sign a formal labor contract after 60, which means that big companies can't get in.

For the sake of safety, the working position and the eating and living position should not be too far apart.

Fortunately, my father's body is very strong and tough. Although he didn't read much and didn't have all kinds of construction engineer's certificates, compared with the newly graduated college students, he still had an advantage in many small and medium-sized supervision companies for more than 20 years of civil work experience.

Next, I began to inquire about acquaintances and look for news on the local official WeChat account. After a phone call, he is basically old and probably unwilling to take all kinds of unexpected risks.

I opened a job application software, locked the scope of the surrounding cities, entered the relevant job application, and looked at the HR contact information left in the company profile one by one.

After nearly 10 telephone contact, we finally locked in two companies, one in Hanyang and the other in Hanchuan.

Considering the communication effect on the phone and the principle of being close to home, I directly chose Hanchuan's work place, which is only 5 bus stops away from our company.

My mother was also very happy to learn the news and asked me to make an appointment to take my father to the interview in advance.

The interviewer is a supervision contractor, about his father's age.

Although it is only a small private enterprise, the boss has strong interpersonal skills and has been taking projects around Wuhan in recent years.

During the interview, the boss was also sincere, and the salary of 4,100 months was acceptable in the local area.

During the interview, my father answered questions, from drawing review to matters needing attention in on-site construction, from basic acceptance to core standards for completion acceptance, and so on. There are no obstacles in the whole communication process.

Afterwards, my father grinned at me, revealing his dentures changed two years ago, and said with relief: This job is good, this job is good, even better than my previous job in Hangzhou.

I looked at my father's empty head and found that he was really old, with more and more wrinkles on his face, his eyes no longer as bright as before, his dentures changed and his speech began to leak.

After a while, I went to see my father.

Far away, I saw him wearing a white helmet and standing on a huge construction site with his colleagues. He was quite high-spirited more than 20 years ago.

Today's tip:

It is inefficient to find a job and submit a resume.

Open various job-hunting apps, and you will find that in some company profiles, the contact information of HR will be put inside, especially the mobile phone number.

Finding a suitable time to make a phone call, regardless of success or failure, is the most efficient.
