Outplacement Guide
Ways to a new job
At the beginning there is always a clear objective:
Only when you have a clear picture of your own strengths and weaknesses and a clear career objective should you begin to implement it in the job market as part of an application campaign. Without a clear objective, you will already fail when creating a clear and concise CV, which is certainly the most important document in the context of an application campaign. Because only with a sharp profile you have a chance.
Jobs
The job advertisement section of the daily newspapers is currently getting thinner and thinner, while at the same time more and more applicants are looking for a new job. This means that in order to get through here successfully, you will have to spend effort and time tailoring your application.
As soon as we know your personal goal and the strategy has been determined, our research looks for potential employers and vacancies.
Job fairs
Only a few job boards are relevant for you as a professional and manager. The procedure for applying to advertisements in job boards is basically similar to the procedure for applying to a job advertisement. Many companies now only place their adverts on job boards as this enables them to find a sufficient number of suitable applicants. Again, if you have any doubts about whether you fit the profile they are looking for, you should call. This way you will know if it is worth the effort to create a tailor-made application.
If an email application is requested or required in the advertisement, you should also use this method. If it is not explicitly rejected, we recommend additionally sending a classic written application afterwards. E-mail applications can be quickly clicked away. A paper application already generates attention through its physical presence. For clients in career or outplacement counselling, we always create an online application portfolio. If you are looking for a job with an annual salary of 80,000 euros or more, you should also approach headhunters.
Headhunters - Decisive contacts for executives
Contacting a headhunter can actually mean the decisive next step on the career ladder. However, you should bear in mind that recruitment consultants only work on behalf of employers and are usually only committed to them. It is unlikely that a single headhunter will have a vacancy that suits you. Nevertheless, it is worth contacting them.
