Outplacement – Should I or Shouldn’t I (Hint: Yes!)

“Yes” is the only answer if you should take Outplacement if offered. 

Outplacement Services provides a number of great services; I found the following the most valuable part of being aligned with Outplacement:

1.       Sense of progress – Each firm provides a good process for running your search (and usually a consultant to help guide you).  Having a process help you feel organized and focused, which really helps keep your emotion in check because you can see your progress.

2.       Access to their alumni – These folks has been through the process, so they understand how you’re feeling and how to help you.
