1c wgggkftebsftjembeb19 1387 p15 bohts febogmfrom a layoff dear amanda im 47 years old and have just lost my job due to a downturn in business ive been with this com pany for 15 years in positions of increasing authority and at a substantial salary level money isnt the critical issue right now as ive received a generous severance package but ill need a job at the same salary level to continue to keep up with my commitments ive sent resumes to all my busi ness contacts but so far ive had no bites this is hurtful as i know there are jobs available in my field should i put myself in the hands ofheadhunters dear dehired some companies include in their severance packages the ser vice of a dehiring firm to assist you to present yourself in the best light to other employers if this option is available to you take advantage of it if you are considering purchas ing this service for yourself make sure that the company spells out what they will and will not do for the money which can run into the hundreds and even thousands of dollars how do you feel about their pre sentation do their repackag ing plans show respect for your particular skills and experience or are you just another tin of soup that needs a new label before you sign anything ask yourself what this company can do for you that you cant do for yourself the answer may be no thing or a lot depending on your own abilities your know ledge of the market and how well you are able to understand your own strengths and weaknesses if you know there are jobs avail able that you arent getting enlist the help of a couple of friends who have honesty and business moxy ask them to look over your re sume and give you a critique re member that an overlyslick re sume or an overly long one is a turnoff ask a friend to make a discreet check of your references yes its sneaky but before you give out any names youll want to know exactly what theyre going to say about you when youre not around the hardest area to look at is often the most threatening per sonal style this includes not just your wardrobe and grooming but also your attitudes and how theyre projected in an interview situation a lot of problems attri buted to age are in fact problems of style many jobs are lost at the inter view stage by calling a female in terviewer dear criticizing for mer employers or taking an au thoritarian stance when pre sented with a problem solving situation make sure your answers reflect 80s business ethics and standards its a harsh truth that it isnt always the best person who gets the job but the person who makes the best presentation if you can do it by yourself and with the help of friends do so if not seek the help of professionals in the field youre worth the investment frame located in historic unionville 202 main
