The individual outplacement program offers one-on-one counseling for executives, managers, and individual contributors who have been released or laid off. The termination may be due to a lack of work, corporate cultural differences, reorganization, technical obsolescence or inadequate performance.

Two individual outplacement programs are offered:

Full Service Program
The full-service program includes unlimited private counseling until employment is secured. In addition, it provides customized research, financial analysis and planning, comprehensive secretarial support, a fitness evaluation and health club membership, and spousal consultation.

Abbreviated Program
An abbreviated program consists of private counseling services for a designated period of time.

Both programs are highly personalized, very intensive, and adapted to the specific and immediate needs of each individual. A rapport is developed with a consultant, whose purpose is to lend support and guidance. Career evaluation and self-assessment exercises, videotaped interviewing sessions, clerical support, research materials, office space, and telephones are provided. In addition, Internet access is available as well as a computerized database of companies. If appropriate, psychological, aptitude and interest testing is administered.

By participating in one of the individual outplacement programs, each employee acquires job search skills through a series of comprehensive modules in order to:

• Analyze professional accomplishments
• Write correspondence
• Define a job objective
• Source job opportunities
• Establish a job search strategy
• Develop interviewing techniques
• Select and utilize references
• Evaluate and negotiate offers
• Prepare a resume
• Adjust to a new position
