Outplacement ServicesProviding high-quality outplacement services to separating employees is not just the responsible thing to do - it also makes sound business sense. The quality of one’s experience with an outplacement provider affects how separated employees, your remaining staff, and even your community will judge your company. For those being terminated, finding new employment and dealing with issues of self-worth and pride can be overwhelming – unless they are guided by an experienced outplacement counselor. With outplacement, your departing employees are much more likely to find a job that's fulfilling and appropriate, and to find it faster. That kind of success reduces the length of unemployment, as well as the terminated employee’s financial difficulties and emotional stress. It also reduces the likelihood of termination-related lawsuits. It's about the RelationshipWe've been working with companies, large and small, in all industries and locations throughout the Pittsburgh area, since 1992 to help employers transition their people. The majority of our outplacement clients are exempt employees, professionals, managers, and executives. We've developed long-standing relationships with most of our clients and enjoy an extremely high client-satisfaction rating. Our focus is on results, and our many client testimonials attest to the achievement of those results. Outplacement Needs Have ChangedToday's displaced professionals are likely to have a home computer with Internet access, so rather than providing office space and typists, we focus on providing what people really need – expert one-on-one guidance with an experienced outplacement consultant, who creates an action plan tailored to each client's unique needs, working with them to reach their goals as quickly as possible. We meet with each client in person every week and also stay in touch via email and phone. Our Approach to OutplacementWe recognize that someone who has been downsized isn't in the best frame of mind to attend cookie-cutter group seminars, sitting together with people they don't know and hearing irrelevant or even inappropriate information about how to conduct a job search. Instead, we work individually alongside each person to help with their unique needs. For large groups or for non-exempt or hourly employees we deliver customized highly effective, highly motivational workshops. Outplacement PackagesWe provide outplacement in three formats:
All three formats are focused on achieving results and are available at very reasonable fees.
Paying for the Outplacement Yourself? We offer a very compressed, yet very comprehensive "Express" outplacement program that covers the foundation of everything you need to get your job search moving quickly toward your goal. The "Express" outplacement program enables you to move forward in your job search or career change with the conviction and comfort of knowing you are headed in the right direction and doing everything as correctly and efficiently as possible, fast-tracking you to success. This one-session outplacement program includes the basics such as resume and cover letter editing, mini mock interview, and help in identifying target employers. It also shows you where you are likely to have obstacles in your job search and how to overcome them. If you are considering starting your own business or becoming a consultant, we test you to determine your likelihood of success. If you don't know what you want to do, we have exercises and discussions that will guide you to your calling. Practice InterviewsHas it been a long time since you interviewed? Are you unsure of what to expect in an interview? Do you have a lot riding on an upcoming interview? You don't dare risk being unprepared! The competition is too stiff to miss your chance. Posti & Associates can conduct a mock interview with you that will not only give you a huge confidence boost, but will also prepare you for even the toughest and the most unexpected interview questions. We know the kinds of questions interviewers ask, and we know what kind of answers they are looking for. We’ll practice these interviewing questions with you until you get it right. We’ll also give you insider tips and expert advice that will increase your chances for getting hired. We will even critique your interview outfit, your mannerisms, your body language, and anything else that needs to be tweaked before you walk into the interviewer’s office. Our goal is to enable you to have the best possible interview and to substantially increase your likelihood of a job offer. |
what others SAY"Chris Posti is a dedicated, proven professional who loves the work she does. She has the ability to help her clients prepare for their job searches and keep them focused on what is important in their lives. Chris is a great listener and a very motivational person. The job search requires a person to be fit mentally, physically and even spiritually and Chris Posti prepares her clients in all three of those areas. Chris is the complete package and I would recommend her to anyone finding themselves in need of new employment." Dennis Dominick "Outplacement had many benefits for me, both personally and professionally. My resume was much enhanced through editing. The mock interview was great practice for me, as I had not interviewed in over 15 years. The constant availability of a coach through the job search process either by phone or email to help evaluate potential opportunities and offers was extremely valuable. Weekly meetings kept my job search always moving forward and my self-esteem much higher than if I had approached the job search independently." L.B., Operations VP "‘Treat others as you would want to be treated.’ This precept could not apply more than when a company must lay off a portion of its workforce. When we faced a layoff for the first time in our 37-year history, Posti & Associates put together a process that considered the needs of those affected by the layoff and allowed CTR to apply the Golden Rule. They provided all the necessary support for what was indeed a tremendously stressful period. We have used Posti & Associates for our ongoing outplacement needs and plan to do so should the occasion arise again." Doug Duffy "Posti & Associates' workshops were FANTASTIC, INVALUABLE, and VERY WELL WORTH THE TIME! I especially appreciated the individual care/attention that was provided and the fact that it was HANDS-ON! Inspiring and enjoyable. I learned where my talents are and what I REALLY want to do for a living. I learned the BEST ways to develop a James Kitna |
