Her third book, Over the Hill But Not the Cliff: 5 Strategies for 50+ Job Seekers to Push Past Ageism and Find a Job in the Loyalty-Free Workplace is is a straightforward and practical guide that job seekers 50+ can use to not only survive in the modern workplace, but thrive. The book reveals a host of strategies that can help you redirect the hiring manager’s focus to where it should be: on the wealth of experience and benefits that you, as an older candidate, bring to the table.

Lori began her work on employment issues while attending NYU Law School, when she worked in NBC’s Talent Negotiations and Labor Relations Department. This experience provided her with insight into how a large employer such as NBC manages its employees.

From there she went on to represent on-air television and radio talent employees while working as an attorney for the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA), now merged with the Screen Actors Guild (SAG); at that time, the AFTRA was a national labor union representing more than seventy thousand actors, broadcasters, and other performers around the country. She eventually became the assistant counsel for that organization. While at AFTRA, Lori counseled artists on all aspects of their employment, ranging from how to network and establish the relationships necessary to transition to new employment opportunities, to the negotiation of employment contracts, the resolution of day-to-day workplace disputes, and trends in hiring and firing practices. She spent a significant amount of time advising individuals who were just entering the workforce as well as those who were approaching middle age and looking to transition out of the entertainment business and into new fields.

Lori gained management-side experience as the director of labor relations for Columbia University, where she provided counsel to human resources staff, department heads, university offices, and unionized staff members.

Lori also has extensive experience teaching and training individuals in all phases of their careers through her live and on-line training workshops, as well as through her work as a member of the adjunct faculty at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, Cornell University’s Scheinman Institute on Conflict Resolution, Fordham University’s School of Law, and Berkeley College.

Lori is a recognized expert on Human Resources, employment law and career issues and has been quoted in a number of different publications, including the New York Times, Forbes.com, CNNMoney, Fortune, USA Today College, Newsday, careerbuilder.com, and American Medical News. ...more

What to do if you’re forced to toe the company line on a sexual harassment case?

Thanks to Moneyish/Dow Jones for including me in one of their latest articles. Managers should at least be aware of how a “voluntary” request might be perceived, even if there are truly no bad intentions.
