Redundancy - Career Counselling and Guidance

Being made redundant or facing redundancy can be a very traumatic time as it is not always a choice that you have wanted to make, but rather it has been made for you. You can go through periods of shock, denial, anger, resistance, acceptance, exploration and challenge - coping with all these emotions can understandably be difficult. Redundancy can really knock your self-confidence which only makes it more difficult to move on and really go for your next opportunity.

Perhaps you are not sure how to go about getting a new job ...

You might have decided to take this opportunity to explore the possibility of changing careers or re-training ...

Or maybe, you are feeling shocked and need help to get yourself back on track ...

How do I go ahead with the redundancy programme?

  1. First of all contact Working Career via telephone, email or fill out the contact form to arrange an initial free discussion to find out which programme you would be best suited to.
  2. We will then be able to give you a recommendation as to what the career programme you have chosen would entail, how long the process will take and what the cost will be.
  3. Once this has been agreed and payment has been received, we will post and email you the necessary materials and arrange sessions either by telephone or face to face.
  4. When you have completed the career programme, we will stay in touch with you for as long as you feel is necessary to keep you motivated and on the right path.

Our full redundancy career programmes cover the exploration of important areas that affect your future choices, such as values, abilities, personality, skills, personal style, family background and goals. However, if you just want to take one online test that will help you to decide what your future holds - the best thing you can do is take the Highlands Ability Battery.
