These are simple “Yes” and “No” questions to ask the person guiding you at the outplacement firm. If the answer is “No”, then try to get a different consultant or simply set your expectations properly.
1. Have you been in transition?
2. Were you in transition more than 6 months?
3. Did you have over 100 networking meetings?
4. Did you seek a role at the _____________ level? (Insert the level you seek)
I don’t mean to offend any consultant, but there’s a big difference between exposure and experience.
If the person across the table has been through the same as what you are facing, then they are prepared to give you a plan to follow and help you hold yourself accountable to working the plan.
