One of the most popular measures of outplacement success in how swiftly your separated employees can land in a new position.

Why I Do It
Outplacement has failed so many, including our very own, Brenda Mariah…she received an outplacement package from her former corporate employer and described it as “useless and ineffective…having a high-level resume review, being given a list of recruiters and job fairs, and having access to yet another job board was hardly what I’d call sufficient help.”
A resume review and website access no longer cuts it. A personalized approach is critical.
The big behemoth firms try to tackle thousands of “transitioners” all at once so understandably they deliver a cookie-cutter solution, and because we understand the value of a customized plan, we only work with 50 or fewer, separating employees at one time.
So, if you have a small workforce or a phased restructuring plan, a partnership with Push Career Management is ideal for you.

Case Studies
Outplacement Really Helps!
-
Dan is a techie. A Sr. level programmer and he was nervous about his fate following the layoff announcement at this job. Fortunately the employer gave him plenty of heads up and a severance package, which included outplacement services. After working with Dan, we discovered his need for an updated resume and a networking strategy. About 40 days later, Dan excitedly reported that he was offered a position earning twice as much and he was incredibly grateful to his past employer who had put him in a great position to win and stay in control of his career.

Deb is the poster child for career management. She’s done a perfect job of keeping her skills up to date (a must in her evolving field of IT Risk Management), but she was not earning nearly what her skills were worth. Following several years bringing in $70k and being laid off, she reached out to Push Career Management, LLC, and now she’s happily earning $130k with an upcoming stock buyout valued over $300k. Having confidence through her robust portfolio to even pursue these higher positions she credits to great coaching and portfolio development from Push Career Management.

His employer did not provide any outplacement services, but he sought out transition services on his own. This call-center manager didn’t want just any position he wanted something meaningful that would keep him in his previous salary range. He was also very concerned about how to explain his recent series of employment experiences considering he had been laid off several times in the past few years. We infused some interview coaching to his portfolio development. He landed a great position, earning a $20,000 raise, and promotion, and was re-employed within 30 days.

Worked for a high-profile small business marketing agency when, following the purchase of a new home, she was surprised with the news of a layoff. She was devastated and uncertain about the future. While they offered a packet of job search resources, April said “It would have been great to have someone like Push Career Management, to assess what I wanted to do, and how I could conduct a job search after 9-years in a stable career. " If I'd had someone to sit down and talk to, that would have made a difference." “Companies that care about their employees, provide this type of service, period.” After April struggled for nearly a year with no job, she finally decided to start her own business and remove herself from the job search equation.
