Outplacement Partnership Results

Working with Individuals in Career Transition

In our work with individuals, success is measured in several ways. In a study of program outcomes and benefits, participants have shared with us that working closely with our senior consultants, they have:

• Acquired the knowledge, skills and behaviors to successfully market themselves 
• Developed self-efficacy and confidence to explore new options and avenues
• Established a competitive edge in the market
• Transitioned to new roles that in many cases, proved to be better opportunities than those they left
• Learned the importance of ongoing career management for future career success
• Appreciated the assistance and support provided by their former employers. Indeed, most cite that they would consider returning to a former employer.

The following are examples of individuals who have successfully reached their goals through AJO career transition services:

• A hospitality industry executive established his own consulting firm, with a focus on helping the hotel industry look for ways to reduce costs.
• A research associate was offered a position as a quality assurance technician after one interview, following AJO training in interviewing techniques.
• A business development manager used advanced networking techniques to obtain a new position in sales, with a salary increase of nearly $40K.
