Helpful Service

During my time with Outplacement First, I dealt with a couple of consultants who were friendly and helpful. They would contact me every couple of weeks or so to check how I was getting on with my recruitment search.

I also had a meeting with another consultant who helped me with reorganising my cv, interview techniques and how to approach prospective employers. The advice that was given overall helped me to obtain a job relatively quickly in my chosen career.

Support, guidance and coaching for ecosystems of work and life.

The support I got in redeveloping and honing my online CV through Outplacement First was fantastic. Their communications in setting up and progressing my support from them was spot on, taking a very professional yet super friendly approach. The one to one sessions offered fantastic coaching and guidance on reworking my online CV presence, helping not just in the practicality of doing this, but also offering a deeply reflective and generative process to bring into focus my ecosystem of work, activism and life that provide purpose and meaning in these turbulent planetary times.

Really good service, excellent personal consultant

Really good service. The initial meeting with them was great. Also my personal consultant was really great. He always responded quickly and gave me very good advice. He also contacted me regularly to find out how I was doing and if I needed any help. Their online platform is very good too. The only reason why I didn't give 5 stars as overall rating is that I would have really needed more face to face interview practise. For my personal consultant I would happily give 5 stars.

Excellent advice and support from beginning to end.

Excellent advice about how to best present the CV - such a critical part of the process. The mock interview was brutally honest and offered lots of good tips and advice. The ongoing telephone support calls just kept me going through the difficult times and helped me to maintain a positive outlook.
