Career counselor

Article Abstract:

Employers that use outplacement agencies and employees who receive outplacement counseling should agree as to how the agency's services will be evaluated. A proposed 'Bill of Rights for People in Outplacement' to ensure fair services states that: clients should be treated in a dignified manner; client needs should be handled in a timely manner; services provided and the length of time for each service should be clearly stated; clients should have access to a counselor within a reasonable period of time; counseling should help with skills development and job search strategies; and the position found for the client should be in the client's best interest. The client should expect to work long hours at the job search. The outplacement service should not be expected to find a job while the client relaxes.

Outplacement results in success

Article Abstract:

Career counsellors often find that individuals who come to them seeking outplacement services frequently experience doubts about achieving career placement success. Typical issues mentioned by job seekers include: believing that they are too old to find better work; feeling that they have been with a firm too long; and believing that they have no immediate opportunities. Seven case studies are described to illustrate how job seekers overcame these and other issues to achieve success.

Career counselor

Article Abstract:

A response is given to a human resources director encountering employee reluctance to relocate. Increasing relocation costs, dual career couples and 'quality of life' are major reasons for refusals to relocate. Two approaches to relocation are traditional and creative. The creative approach goes beyond the traditional relocation policies to include home repair expenses and real estate commissions, in addition to providing spouse and family relocation counseling.
