“Change is the law of life, and those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.”
At AFS Consulting, we’re here to help you through a job change event, either company or self initiated.
There are four main phases in the program:
Phase 1: Assessment
Establish trust and credibility with the client; provide a confidential sounding board for him/her; help client conduct self-assessment of their strengths and weaknesses, personality preferences and career options; help to make decisions in their career plans.
Phase 2: Job Search Strategy and Marketing
Help client develop a focused job search strategy and marketing activities; how to approach the market (networking strategies and skills); letter writing skills; follow-up tactics.
Phase 3: Personal Presentation
Help the client develop effective presentation skills telephone networking and interviewing situations.
Last Phase:
AFS Consulting becomes the project manager/coach/drill sergeant, leading up to advising the client in deciding on the offer(s) that will finally come in!
This program is approximately 20 hours of counseling in 10 two-hour segments over a 2-3 month period. To meet more limited needs or budgets we can customize a shorter (8 hour) program. AFS Consulting’s comprehensive Job Search Manual is supplied with each program as well as access to the AFS career search engine.
