Another view of Outplacement

Mauro Lauretta was told from his employer, "you don't have much use for outplacement. Even his lawyer had the same opinion, but he was offered it and took it up and set it in motion.

"At first I thought only to have my resume updated, but because there was more in the budget I managed to get a lot of points added with career counselor Katja Oostergetel that are very useful. The moment I started applying for a job I ran into things like a cover letter. That's where I got stuck right away. How can I best do this? The help from Katja was really great. It's help you really need when you suddenly find yourself without a job. You are not completely on your own then. The result is that I was picked out from all those letters and had a first job interview scheduled. We even discussed the interview I was going to have and I was able to prepare for it.

I really have a very different view of an outplacement agency and can recommend it to anyone."
