These suggestions prepare an individual to launch their career change effort.  Right now, the important thing to realize is that a well-planned, focused approach offers the best chance of success. Preparation is the key!

Group Workshops - In situations where a customized individual program is not feasible, CMC offers comprehensive outplacement workshops tailored to meet your employees’ specific concerns and needs. Depending on the level of the employees, CMC offers a one-, two- or three-day workshop.  These workshops  use a variety of approaches, test inventories, a job search manual and other materials to provide the participants with the necessary skills to find the most suitable job possible in the shortest possible time.  We recommend providing workshops for up to 10 employees per workshop to allow for sufficient and meaningful personalized attention, as well as one-on-one follow-up counseling.

Spouse Relocation Service - Research confirms that the failure rate of new executive hires approaches 50%. Most of these frustrating (and expensive!) failures are more the result of personal/family dissatisfaction than job-related issues. Relocation is a difficult transition for the new executive and often even more difficult for the trailing spouse and family. The ability to adapt to a new community, new home, new schools, new friends, and (in the case of the working spouse) another new job is critical for a successful relocation.

The career transition effort of the trailing spouse is a particularly challenging one. Lacking both a local contact network and knowledge of the areas’ economy and job opportunities, the individual is often frustrated by a long search. Career Management Consultants’ local experience and expert consultants can shorten the process dramatically and thus improve the likelihood of a smooth, successful relocation.

Career Management Consultants can help! Our Spouse Relocation Service provides individualized coaching to the trailing spouse in support of his/her career transition efforts. The program generally consists of three months of support (although program length can be adjusted).
