Having been laid off, looking for your next career opportunity, and being in your mid 50’s is a position no one wants to be in. I personally know that feeling and I never want to feel it again. After I was laid off, I spent six months doing it on my own, and coming in second place in job interviews. I had exhausted all my resources and didn’t know what to do next. Stewart, Cooper & Cn (SC&C) reached out to me, and I now wish I would’ve engaged with them sooner. With SC&C, you not only have industry professionals to help you find your next career opportunity, you have people who really care about you as a person. My career coach was not only my coach; she was my partner throughout the whole process, and available anytime I needed her. She helped me pick myself up and helped me put a plan into action. Not only did she assist me in finding my next employment opportunity, she taught me skills I can easily use in my new job, and in life. My word of advice for anyone who is in the situation I was in – call Stewart, Cooper & Cn today.
I was laid off from my position with a leading financial services firm. As part of my severance package I was offered the services of an industry "leading" outplacement services firm. That firm offered resume writing services, a dedicated "coach" and a weekly networking meeting where others searching for employment would meet to review job search progress. Needless to say I was not successful with that model of job search. It felt like I was getting a mass market approach to finding my next career.
After a review of the Stewart Cooper Cn (SCC) model for Individual Executive Placement I engaged their services and believe that they provided me the necessary tools for securing my current role. SCC spends a great deal of time helping you get into the correct mindset for looking for employment and supports you throughout the process. You are held accountable for your deliverables and frequent calls with your coach help you stay on track. SCC does a deep dive on all of your past career successes and uses that information to build a compelling and results focused resume.
My former outplacement firm gave me a three page resume full of fluff. My SCC resume was two pages and only contained quantifiable successes. I had a recruiter say that my resume was one of the best they had ever seen. SCC builds you an online Webfolio goes deeper into your resume successes by highlighting executive core competencies and how you used those competencies to realize career success.
The Webfolio link is added to the resume and can be used as you network for your next opportunity. SCC will help you research firms and develop a list of companies to target in your job search. They will go one step further and will make calls to those firms to introduce you and open up networking opportunities. This is most successful if there is an open position at the firm you are targeting, but you never know where that next role is coming from so everything helps. SCC will also help you navigate marketing to recruiters, further expanding your networking capabilities. SCC provides the frame work to help you build compelling SHARE stories to be used in interviewing situations.
They spend ample time helping you practice for interviewing so that those SHARE stories are second nature and can be delivered with confidence. SHARE = Situation, Hindrance, Action, Result, Emotional Intellengence. Once you have the offer SCC will help you navigate the salary negotiation process and land the offer you want.
The Stewart Cooper Cn method is very thorough, thoughtful and focused. They will help you discover the best of you and turn that into a compelling story to share with prospective AND future employers. I highly recommend them.
It has been nothing less than a pleasure for me working with everyone at Stewart Cooper & Cn. From the start of my involvement I found myself very much intrigued, and drawn into everything shared with and presented to me, simply because it all made sense! Being able to follow through with what I was asked to do, while working the long and numerous hours needed to handle the responsibilities and obligations of my current employer, was challenging and extraordinarily stressful for me at times. I often found myself up late at night and in the early morning hours in a hotel room due to work-related traveling, doing a lot of reading and writing. I may potentially have a few more gray hairs because of this, but in my mind, it was completely worth it. What pushed and carried me through this challenging time, I thoroughly associate with my desire to focus on what I wanted to achieve and accepting whatever I needed to do to achieve it, all through the help and support of Stewart Cooper & Cn.
You can count on the fact that I will stay in touch with everyone. I truly hope that someday, we can all cross paths and meet in person at some point in time. I am extremely grateful for what all of you have taught me and helped me achieve, including obtaining a better life for myself and my family.
