Job loss or job opportunity?

Being separated from one’s job is extremely challenging because many of us closely identify by what we “do” for a living.

When the job is taken away, we can lose track of who we are and even why we are,  Emotional issues aside, many of us are able to identify the practical issues, from determining how long our financial resources will sustain, to deciding if a career change was in order. In other words, practical planning for the future.

Eather Recruitment conduct Outplacement Services, and through guided facilitation, many came to terms with important emotional and practical issues, and also come to terms with ( I use the old term “moving on”) and   “Where to go from here?” .

Most importantly, consider why you lost your job – often the Company downsized, so, it was not your fault. Determine if this was an industry trend  and if there still is a future within the same field. Career change  is always a serious consideration, and if not a possibility for you, maybe this difficult stage can be a good opportunity to spruce up some skills in order to increase marketability within the current and future job market.

Rather than looking at a job loss as a horrible thing, (for too long) many consider the possible positive implications of this situation. Taking the time to make some positive changes — like switching careers or industries; or learning some new skills and improving upon existing ones; or perhaps consider relocating. The outplacement services help to identify transferable skills and possible links to other industries and jobs. There is nothing like an objective and evaluative view of your skills, knowledge and experience and how these can be best utilized in the current job market. It’s very empowering to hear a recruitment professional provide you with positive and affirming evaluation, constructive criticism that is meaningful and useful. Add the knowledge of the job market and the advice on a great resume, and you have the ingredients for a great future.

Are you looking forward to your next opportunity? Because you never know what doors this turn of events may open for you. I steal a quote from Mark Twain, ” you have to go out on a limb to grab the fruit” risk is what life is all about!

Many are very receptive during the outplacement sessions, and post sessions, Eather Recruitment are always here to provide further Job assistance or support.

The support on offer can range from simply forging a new resume, to regular sessions that help to flesh out career and personal goals. Job search and job applications are also an area of assistance.

Whatever your needs, whatever your direction we are here to assist you to achieve your goals sooner rather than later!

Time to stop, think, re-group, take stock AND start again with a even  better resume!

Often, our jobs are much more than just the way we make a living. They influence how we see ourselves, as well as the way others see us. Our jobs give us structure, purpose, and meaning. So how will you cope when you are no longer working?

The good news is that despite the stress, there are many things you can do to take control of a future situation and maintain your spirits. You can get through this tough time by taking care of yourself, reaching out to others, and taking the opportunity to rethink your career goals and rediscover what truly makes you happy.

Remember that the vast majority of job openings are never advertised; they’re filled by word of mouth. That’s why networking is the best way to find a job. Unfortunately, many are hesitant to take advantage of networking because they’re afraid of being seen as pushy, annoying, or self-serving. But networking isn’t about using other people or aggressively promoting yourself—it’s about building relationships. As you look for a new job, these relationships can provide much-needed feedback, advice, and support

Other proactive strategies are:

• Complete and update a new resume
• Tailor resume for each job application
• Keep eye on job market trends
• Search for jobs each day using a variety of methods
• Stay positive

Redundant? Retrenched? Outplaced? 

Whatever the words or terms used to describe this life changing event, it sucks.

Often displaced workers feel like they have been left out in the cold. I’m not sure what the best description of the emotional state is, so let’s explore this further. What is the dictionary definition of “redundant?”.

(of an organization or individual) reduce costs or spending in response to economic difficulty.”as a result of the recession the company retrenched”

Eather Recruitment  provide an individualised service that considers each exiting worker and their unique history and skills-set.

We offer professional outplacement services which assist staff who face redundancy, to move forward with confidence and works to ensure past employees remain strong business ambassadors in the future.

 Outplacement job Services

Traditional outplacement services gave job hunters a cubicle, a computer and a telephone, leaving many feeling frustrated, undignified and overwhelmed and leaving the paying organization with the burden of covering the costs of these unnecessary overheads. Our Outplacement Services Program is highly personalized with intensive support for both the organization and its staff. It can be tailored to meet individual requirements, either one interview contact or several.

Contact us for a confidential interview to discuss your outplacement needs.
