Has your job been made redundant and you’re not sure whether to stay in your current type of work?

• Are you in need of support to get you through this challenging time?

• Do you need help with creating a CV, interview practice and how to get a job?

Whilst redundancy can be a shock it can also be a time to take stock and ensure you are heading in the right direction. Many people in your position never gave much thought to what job they wanted to do, so you can use this time well to make the right choice for you.

Once you decide on your next steps, you can be supported in developing an effective CV, Interview practice, and negotiating the salary package – I can quickly help you to move from exploration to marketing to the first 90 days in your new job.

Working with Denise is not just about finding another career. You may want to talk about how you are feeling in a safe and supportive environment.

Are you getting some support from your employer? Ask them to sponsor you on our programme. Many companies do.

In times of redundancy people generally need help in 3 different areas

1. Dealing with the loss

2. Deciding what to do next

3. Getting the job

Dealing with the loss

Unlike retirement, redundancy can happen unexpectedly and many people experience feelings of shock. Having our job made redundant can knock our confidence and affect our self esteem. So much of our identity is tied in with our job, and many people will want to discuss this, and the impact of redundancy on family life. Many of our friends are met through work, and these friendships often disappear along with the job. Talking through how you feel can help you get ready to move forward.

Deciding what to do next

Some people want another job similar to what they did before, but there may be few opportunities so you need to broaden your options. Other people want to take stock and make sure their next career move is something they actually want to do. This could also include setting up your own business.

Denise has created a number of programmes to meet your needs and budget, including the award winning Gold Career Programme. This programme, which includes 7 hours of personal attention, takes a systematic approach to help you to understand who you are and clarify where you want your future to take you. It is very popular, chosen by anyone who wants an in-depth understanding of themselves. There are other programmes available too, to meet different needs and budgets

QUOTES

Chris had worked for a large retail organisation for 10 years as a sportswear buyer. Due to company changes his job was to go. The programme helped him to see that his interest in the arts was not being met at all, and his high level of abilities in the areas of design were not being utilised. he has now found an organisation willing to develop him to become a buyer for prints and pictures in a different retail establishment.

 

“I’ve learnt not to rush into things headlong and to explore other avenues other than the obvious. I like the way this has helped me to see “outside the box.”

Simon had never had a career, but had always seen himself as happy enough doing office administration. Finding his job moving to India and being made redundant was initially a shock but he then realised he could take stock and decide what he actually wanted to do with his future. He came to this programme with a very open mind and was surprised at the possible careers that were identified - he is now retraining as a chef and is so thankful to finally have a job that excites him!
