Excellent service from Luca and Karen.
Thanks to Luca, I got an appointment with Karen who jigged my CV and also did interview practise as well. As result of this I secured an interview with an international company and was offered the job the same day.

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.

Brilliant Service

We have used Outplacement First to help our colleagues following a restructure, and I have to say that they have been excellent from start to finish. Abigail is a pleasure to work with and is very proactive in terms of engagement with us as the employer, and with the colleagues that she has worked with. Everyone who has used the service have said that they have really benefited, and many have been able to secure alternative roles quickly. I would not hesitate to use or recommend Outplacement First in the future.

Outplacement First - THANK YOU

Outplacement First are fantastic. After 15 years working for the same organisation, I found myself being made redundant. I started to apply for other jobs, about 10 in total, but never made it past the application stage. I organised a meeting with Outplacement and received a tremendous amount of support and help reviewing my CV (which was obviously very outdated), covering letters, discussing interview techniques, presentation etc. They also gave me access to some incredibly useful online tools such as templates and sample interview questions. Following the meeting and with help from the online resources I re-wrote my CV and covering letters. I then applied for 2 jobs, was called to interview for both and was offered both. What an amazing position to be in, and it was all thanks to their support and professional advice.
