Work together to move forward
We offer two workshops for 10 – 20 participants depending on the need: dealing with job loss, and planning for the future.
Job Search After Downsizing
Offered to groups of 10-20 people who have been given notice by their employer.
With a copy of the AFS Job Search Manual, the workshop is a combination of presentation, written exercises, discussion and simulation.
The four phases / Aspects of this workshop
- To develop participants’ portfolios of skills, characteristics and work objectives.
- To develop “marketing” tool kit of strategies and resources for managing a job search.
- To develop skills in handling interviews, networking, and other speaking situations.
- To develop and implement Personal Action Plans for conducting a Job Search campaign.
The workshop helps participants come to realize that in the end they will find a new work situation that is best for them and will look back on this experience as one of unparalleled learning and growth.
(This workshop may stimulate participants to consider a career shift into quite new areas such as a whole new employment field or perhaps self-employment).
