Should I include that I am retiring when writing a cover letter?
Will be retiring soon and am job searcing. How do I word cover letter/resume to include my retirement, or should I. THis is regular work retirement, not disability The sitiuation is retiring from one job after many years and getting a job 50 minles closer to home. Plan to work at least another 5 years.

- Never heard retiring and job searching in the same sentence. If you can't afford to retire, then don't. You should enjoy life after retirement (I'm within a year of retiring myself), not go back to work. Right?
- Do not mention it. No one would hire someone they thought would only be there a short time. Once you have a job, just give them a few month's notice and offer to stay to train your replacement when your retirement date is approaching.
