Our Program
3 Tier Program that is focused on the key elements in a successful job search: Job Search Strategy and Execution, Resume Building, and Interviewing Preparation. Our focus is on dealing with the core process’s with each individual in order to provide them the strategic advantage that will allow them to successfully navigate the job search arena. We’ll provide the tools and industry specific insight to prepare people for a competitive market that has unique challenges in 2012. Our goal is to give our people a competitive edge over the competition and set them up for success.
On-Site Assistance. We can be there during the delivery of severance packages to facilitate smooth transition during a potentially emotional time. We can begin the program immediately and prevent any emotional duress and ensure positive emotions during a stressful time.
Unlimited access to our principle coaches. The average job seeker will use 10-15 hours of consultation time in the first month. We realize that every individual comes with a different set of needs, and some take longer than others to get back on their feet. We will be there to support/service these job seekers for as long as they require our assistance, minus the stop watch.
Unlimited accessibility – No Program expiration. The typical outplacement program ends after 1-6 months based on the package the company has chosen for the employee. We don’t feel that a legitimate outplacement organization can effectively assist people by attaching expiration dates on the relationship. Once an employee has been placed into our hands, we will provide the very best service we can to assist them indefinitely. Should the employee wish to consult with us 7 months or 7 years down the road, we will be happy to assist.
After hours Accessibility. Career decisions can be some of the most important, and stressful we’ll ever make in our lives. We believe that in order to effectively assist people in the process of career transition, we need to be accessible. Many times, people need advice at key points during the process (i.e. Last minute interviews, offers w/expirations), and that is why we believe it to be necessary that we can be contacted during weekday evenings by phone (5-9 pm) or weekends (9-9 pm). Our goal is to be available when people need us, and sometimes that can mean discussions outside of regular business hours when it’s necessary. From our experience, it often can be.
Career specific consultation. We realize that Accountants must market themselves differently than Engineers. We specialize in dealing with the idiosyncrasies and unique qualities of each position in the oil and gas industry. We know what hiring managers are looking for, and will provide valuable insight that can give each individual a head start to getting back employed. Together, our group has interviewed over 8,000 people including Senior Executives, Accountants, Engineers, G&G and Land Professionals. We will be there to pass along our experience to the job seeker.
Comprehensive Resume Building and optimization. We will work with the employee to ensure the resume demands attention in a stack of other resumes, identifying key areas of opportunity, and ensuring that the right message is being delivered. We will ensure that the resume format and content are appropriate for the target market, and is speaking at the highest level.
Job Search Strategy. Together with the employee, we will assist in the formulation of an action plan that will provide the framework for an efficient and thorough job search. We have been in the business of assisting job seekers for many years, and our group of specialists understand what it takes to be successful in this arena. Our combined experience in Calgary’s Oil and Gas Industry will ensure we can provide the specialized knowledge, and lay out a proven method for the job seeker to ensure they are being noticed, and are maximizing their opportunities. We believe that finding a job is a full time job, and our years of experience in managing this process on a daily basis will enable us to formulate a winning strategy with the job seeker.
Key Interview Strategies. We will provide the individual coaching and insight to help people deliver in an interview. We will identify areas of opportunity & candidates will practice with an experienced coach who knows what managers are looking for in the interview setting. In today’s world of behavioural style interviews, we can help people overcome their fears through preparation and role play. The manner in which a candidate markets or presents themselves can make all the difference when it comes time to make a strong case for why they should be picked in today’s competitive marketplace. All together, we have interviewed and consulted thousands of people, helping guide them through this stressful process. We will help the job seeker prepare for their interviews and separate themselves from the crowd.
