Pathfinder Plus Outplacement Service € 4,445

Our Pathfinder Plus Outplacement Service is an enhanced Pathfinder Service providing greater face to face support. It is an excellent package that provides up to 6 face to face meetings and telephone support for nine months.

The addition of more face to face support means the individual can use the extra sessions to meet with our Consultant prior to an actual interview and practice / formulate answers to potential areas of questioning. They may also use the sessions for support in assessment centre activities and preparation; along with support in developing presentation skills and reviewing presentation content. For those at a career crossroads the sessions may also be used to explore career choices and options.

 The content of the sessions is open format and very flexible, though for most we will cover:

  • CV Writing / guidance / support covering optimising the CV for on-line CV databases. Also working with the individual on the content, layout and readability, along with achievement statements.
  • Completing Application Forms - guidance on technique
  • Helping to identify potential alternative career paths / roles and working with transferable skills
  • Job search techniques and identifying CV databases to use; demonstrating the technology, setting up job alerts, using job crawlers, and networking / speculative approaches
  • Working on optimising / or creating a ‘Linked In’ profile and networking via the site
  • Recruitment Agencies and how to use an ‘elevator pitch’ when following up applications
  • Writing covering letters etc
  • Creating an Action Plan
  • In depth interview preparation , including handling difficult interview questions and competency based interviews. This is done in a practical way, by our Outplacement Consultant interviewing the individual around common questions and feeding back on how they are projecting both themselves, their skills, and experience in their answers
  • How to handle an Assessment Centre, if they are likely to undertake such an event
  • Looking at and reviewing current job seeking activities and refocusing where necessary

Psychometric Testing - As part of our Pathfinder packages we offer the opportunity to take a Psychometric Personality Profile. This allows the individual to experience the test and see how they appear in such tests / view how they are portrayed in a profile. The support we then provide is advice and guidance on how to handle test related feedback interviews and likely questions they may be asked.

Job Seekers Guide / On-line Support Internet Site

HtR’s Jobseeker Guide is provided to all individuals we support and includes 100 standard interview questions and guidance on how to prepare answers for them. In addition our on-line resource site has further support and guidance including videos on using the STAR technique and body language.

Location for support

Face to face sessions are half day in length and the first session will be delivered within five working days of assignment, held local to the individual in a business centre or hotel conferencing meeting room. We utilise Regus Business Centres predominantly along with the Village Hotel and Ramada Hotel Conferencing facilities.
