  New Career Coaching Service  
     
 

In response to current events in the marketplace, our executive search unit, JCG Search International, has launched its Career in Transition (CIT) program. We aim to contribute to companies and individuals in areas such as career coaching in the unfortunate situation of a company undergoing a ‘rightsizing’ exercise in these difficult times. Unlike the full suite of Outplacement Services which can be very expensive, we are able to keep our fee at an affordable price by focusing only on certain aspects of the program that you may require.

What is the Career in Transition (CIT) programme?

It is a practical support program to help employees who have to leave an organisation due to redundancy, severance or significant corporate change, cope with the prospect of job change and make positive moves forward to the next stage of their careers.

A typical program spans one to two full days and covers subjects such as Coping with Retrenchment, Psychometric Testing and Feedback, as well as Coaching on Interview Techniques and Resume Writing, etc. In order to create a more personalised and intimate learning environment, the class size is kept relatively small.

Participants’ Feedback

“The information and support provided during the two sessions have given me the strength and motivation to brace myself for tougher times ahead. The personality test gives me an insight into myself which enables me to reflect and improve during the interim period in between jobs.”

“The role play techniques and hands-on resume writing sessions have helped me to better prepare for interviews and create an ‘attention-grabbing’ resume. The ‘one-to-one’ session was also very helpful as it gives me an insight to my personality that I am not aware of. I now know how to flaunt my good side and use it to my advantage. I especially appreciate the empathy that was showed throughout the session. The emotional support has given me the strength to face the hard times ahead.”
