Step 1. The intake
The intake interview is always free of charge. There must be a good match with the outplacement agency and with your coach. Despite the fact that we have coached hundreds of people over the years, it is not self-evident that we are the right coach for you. Outplacement is very personal and you must feel that we are the right coach for you, otherwise the outplacement process will not succeed. We are well aware of that. Hence the free intake without any obligation. During the intake you can ask all the questions that are important to you. Only after the intake interview will you decide if we are the right coach for you.
Step 2. Career scan
In addition to all the information we exchanged during the intake, we like to pick up the situation with you to go into depth together. We take a career scan, so that you can get a well-founded insight into your qualities, pitfalls, motives and motivation. After the scan we can tell you directly what your chances are on the job market and what you might have to do to increase your chances.
Step 3. Distinctive CV and personal profiling
You want to be well prepared in the current job market, competition is fierce. Your CV, motivation and personal profile are solid. Tailored to your specific qualities, search direction and core competencies. You know how to network effectively and have your story ready for job interviews. You don’t let yourself be surprised but you surprise your interviewers.
Step 4. Social Media workshop
The Social Media workshop introduces you to the power of this medium. You learn to make yourself visible and findable through LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. You choose which medium suits you best. We agree on one thing: you want to be found for a new job.
Step 5. Training and coaching
Then we start with the training and coaching program that suits you and what you need. Customization! During this module you learn interview techniques, application skills, giving feedback and personal coaching, again specifically tailored to your needs. Many people who follow an outplacement program have not applied for a job for a long time. Writing a motivation, drafting your resume and conducting various interviews are all topics that come up. Video applications require just a different approach than ‘live’ interviews, this is where we practice well.
Step 6. Networking and applying for a job
You are all set. You have gained all the knowledge and skills to enter the job market. This is a very important moment because you cannot redo a job application or networking interview. Your pitch must be well matched to the question. For this very reason you have a personal coach who will prepare the interviews intensively with you. For many people, applying for a job or networking is not an everyday activity. To gain some experience, you can use the ASBR network so that you do not immediately fall into the deep end but can learn by doing. You evaluate these interviews with your coach to perfect your entry into the job market.
Step 7. Guidance in practice
You are about to enter the job market. Now you are going to put all the knowledge and experience you have gained into practice. Your first job applications will not immediately lead to the new job, which is why your coach is important to stay motivated and persevere until the result is there. You get personal guidance from your coach for 3 or 6 months or guidance with a job guarantee. Depending on your budget, you get guidance without or with a job guarantee. The latter is of course the best but also expensive and, let’s be honest, not always necessary. During the entire coaching period you will have access to our portal which contains all the vacancies published in the Netherlands. This facilitates searching or the many different job boards. You have a quick overview in a certain region for the jobs you are looking for in a very accessible environment.
