Bill McKeown was fantastic in his help and support during my job application process He helped me update my CV and practice for interviews on multiple occasions He regularly checked in to see how I was doing and how he could help with support in getting a job Thanks to this I have secured new employment Very many thanks Bill

Really Helpful and practical advice

I would highly recommend this service as I found it incredibly helpful in supporting me through my first job search in over 15 years during which time a lot has changed I worked with Matthew and he was really encouraging whilst offering very practical advice and support Thank you

Fantastic service and support

I recently found myself in need of outplacement after being with a company for over 15 years As you can imagine I was in a scary place and a little lost Matthew was amazing he has supported me and we moved at pace to get my CV reviewed and updated with applications being completed with confidence During the whole process knowing that Matthew was just on the other end of the phone gave me the confidence to start to apply for roles he prepared me for interviews he was realistic and understood the ups and downs I would face

Outplacement First

Outplacement First specifically Bill took me from a little battered and bruised to confident and well equipped to secure a new role with the structure information and support provided The virtual careers resource center is very detailed and helpful allowing me to pick up and put it down when time allowed as its bite sized chunks Bill in particular helped the content come to life with an extremely professional friendly supportive and helpful service I m pleased to say that I have secured a new role and can t thank Bill and Outplacement First enough They are not part of your current previous employer trust in their independence and expertise

I was not disappointed

When my firm who were making me redundant offered to arrange Career coaching I jumped at the chance and I wasn t disappointed Bill was such a great support and help at a very challenging and already busy time He was a great listener and helped me think about what I really wanted I was being pidgin holed by recruitment consultant and Bill identified and encouraged me to redo my CV with a management slant This resulted in my eventually obtaining a Sales Director Position which was perhaps 2or 3 levels above what other roles I was being initially set for Bill I cannot thank you enough The continued offer to have another meeting even though I had got the job was over and above what expectations I had and all leads to extra confidence which I will take into the new position with me Thank you Matt Broadhurst

Thank you Laurence

Having been made redundant from my previous organisation after twenty-four years I wandered into the metaphorical grasp of Laurence feeling more than a little confused uncertain and unsure of the new world which I was going to have to face into LinkedIn CVs interviews were suddenly a set of very different set of dynamics which I was confronted with but I simply cannot thank Laurence enough for all of the support guidance wisdom advice and experience that he provided me with Job search even more so when one isn t familiar with the process is an incredibly lonely and frustrating place at times but to know that there was a friendly face voice there one who was on my side and not with a vested interest was enormously reassuring All of those elements which Laurence imported have proven to be pivotal in my successful securing of the role which I just have I m truly truly grateful Thanks again Laurence Gerry

Thank you for all your support Matthew

Having taken redundancy and feeling unfamiliar with job hunting I jumped at the chance of working with an external support to guide me From our first meeting Matthew was hugely encouraging and professional We had a regular catch up to update my CV LinkedIn and to enable me to be prepared for any interviews He gave great advice was really motivational and always positive I am pleased to share that I have secured a new role from my first interview and am so appreciative of Matthew s help throughout the search In addition I also used the website and found this to be a great resource that I could use at my leisure I would definitely recommend Outplacement First as a provider Thanks again Matthew

What amazing support I received from Matthew first class

Having taken redundancy after 21 years with the same company I took the offer to work with Outplacement First for career support Matthew whom I worked with was amazing through supporting me to re-write my CV and giving me loads of support in how best to use Linkedin and careers providers Matthew gave me confidence and reassured me in times of need even following up on a regular basis to see if I needed any further support and advice The support was first class and I am pleased to say that I have secured a new role and can start a new career journey based on the support that Matthew gave me
