Membership Organization | Outplacement/Career Transition for Executive-Level Employees

Challenge: An HR Director at a membership-based organization was seeking career transition services for an executive who lost his job due to downsizing.

Solution: Traverse provided a 9 month executive outplacement package offering one-on-one virtual and in-person coaching sessions.

Coaching Results: The departing executive:

• Received a completely overhauled set of marketing tools (resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, etc.) and learned how to better market his unique personal brand to varying audiences.
• Optimized his LinkedIn profile, attracting recruiters who contacted him for job opportunities.
• Strengthened his networking skills by proactively connecting with individuals and decision-makers at targeted employers.
• Enjoyed a sense of fulfillment as he learned how to self-direct his career, resulting in more interviews – and more opportunities, even hidden ones.
• Received on-the-spot assistance during the many phases of interviewing and negotiating.
• Ultimately decided between two job offers.

“After making the difficult decision to eliminate an executive's position, we wanted the departing executive to get the kind of support that would allow him not only to rewrite his resume and look for a new job, but to get the coaching and personalized attention Ellen's expertise and experience offered.”  - Human Resources Consultant
