The Associated Press recently reported the nation's unemployment rate is up to a 2-year high of 5.7 percent and fears of a recession are looming.  A recent U.S. Labor Department report revealed that employment conditions are deteriorating as employers are cautious with the rising uncertainity about how the economy will fare in the months ahead.

With recent major corporation layoffs, such as Pfizer (10,000 jobs), Dell (8,800 jobs), CitiGroup (6,000 jobs), Washington Mutual (3,000 jobs), and Sun Microsystems' (2,500 jobs), both employers and employees are asking themselves, "How secure are we?".

Are Career Transition and Outplacement Still Relevant in this Employment Marketplace?

The answer is YES!  From an employee perspective, career transition services can help them make a major career change, perhaps for the first time in many years.  Some of these services include one-on-one consulting, career assessment and direction, and interview preparation.

From the employer perspective, outplacement services provide support to the internal Human Resource team with services such as pre- and post-termination notification consulting, personal consulting for the separated employee, and post notification messaging for remaining staff.
