About Prancing Dog Publications LLC
Prancing Dog Publications LLC was founded in January 2013 by the publisher, Nancy Peterson, after leaving the previous startup where she had been a founder, owner and director, providing outsourced jobboard solutions to associations, publishers and niche web portals. Ms. Peterson was the lead developer for workforce50.com, a new website serving the over 50, or mid to later career, job seeker, which she now operates as part of Prancing Dog Publications.
While Ms. Peterson manages workforce50.com, her experiences over the last fifteen years have led her to write about caregiving and the progression of Alzheimer's Disease. As her mother's advocate, she was encouraged by friends and associates to share her experiences with others just beginning the journey. Her very personal stories and insights are now available for other caregivers.
Workforce50.com
Workforce50.com originally launched in 2007 at AARP’s Life@50+ Conference & Exposition in Boston, MA. The website serves the older 50+ workforce in roughly mid to late career, or those transitioning to other job situations, with jobs and favorite employers as well as expert articles catering to the needs of this readership.
Under Prancing Dog, workforce50.com has undergone a number of important technological updates including a new responsive design to optimize readability on any device, cleaner site navigation, and increased browsing security for users. Behind the scenes, the website has been completely rewritten to eliminate the restrictions of an old programming language and it has been moved to a private server for faster load times.
It is the publisher's intent to make this website a premier resource serving older job seekers. With that, new content, new writers and new channels will continue to offer updated job-search information. Ms. Peterson has recently launched the new jobboard feature serving this audience and looks forward to developing this into the leading job search platform for employers who want to recruit from the mature workforce. Professionals working in the recruitment industry and related topical experts are encouraged to contact the publisher for writing opportunities.
Workforce50Jobs
Workforce50Jobs is an integrated full scale job board catering to employers and recruiters who want to reach the website's audience of mid to later career job seekers. Here, employers can register and post jobs that will appear exclusively on Workforce50Jobs and Workforce50.com as featured jobs.
This feature is at the core of our mission. Employers advertising here are advertising to specifically attract the more mature workforce, roughly in mid to late career or even into retirement. The message is that the employers are not only age friendly but value talented workers of all ages so much as to expand their recruitment efforts to include our experienced audience.
See the website for more information on advertising rates.
LosingMom.com
There are resources and loads of information about the staging, progression and treatment of Alzheimer's Disease. There are support groups of all kinds. And there are books chronicaling individual journeys through the disease in a broadbrush way. But the publisher is yet to find a lot of writings about the day to day issues that patients and caregiver advocates encounter. She has traveled this road advocating for her mother and has learned many lessons the hard way, plodding through the unexpected and learning from experience. The emotional journey has been a struggle at times but knowing that she has been there to be her mother's voice has been meaningful. The publisher invites you into her emotionally-charged world of caring for and losing mom to Alzheimer's Disease.
