What Our Clients Say
What a Human Resource Director had to say:
“When we had to downsize, there were a number of good reasons to offer Outplacement but the bottom line for our organization was the concern for the employees who had to leave. We wanted to leave our employees in a safe harbor where they could get the expertise they needed to reconnect in an atmosphere where one-on-one mentoring was the norm rather than the exception. We thought that accessibility was important. We found a good fit with Career Edge. Career Edge promised and they delivered.

Wayne:
Late in the year I received word that my employer had decided to eliminate its 10 Institutional Asset Management Sales positions, our boss’s job, and 3 support personnel positions. This was not the type of message I was hoping for just before the Christmas Holiday.
Despite the setback I felt confident about securing another job very quickly. Initially, interviews came my way very quickly. Further, almost all of my interviews were progressing to what looked to be final stages before offers would be made. However, offers were not forthcoming.
At first, delays were measured in days, then weeks, then finally months. My confidence and associated anxieties were increasing tremendously. Companies and hiring managers all had their reasons as to why things would take more time. This was not putting money back in my pocket and left my career on hold.
Thank goodness for Career Edge and Wayne Smith. Just as I was hitting a low spot in my job search I attended a meeting where Wayne was the featured speaker. Wayne demonstrated in minutes that he was a professional who really understands what employers are looking for from candidates in today’s marketplace.
Though my prior employer had contracted with the supposed “Cadillac” provider of outplacement services I found their assistance to be lacking. When Wayne described the personalized services he could assist me with, all at a very reasonable price, I was convinced this was something I needed to do.
First, Career Edge reviewed and reworked my resume (the end product was much better than the outplacement firms product). Next, we met to practice my interviewing skills. This practice session quickly led to two of my best opportunities moving along to the offer stage. Something obviously was missing when I was putting myself into the final round for consideration. Career Edge helped me polish my personal product so my value could truly shine and catch an employer’s eye.

What Brenda had to say:
B. M., Teacher, Pittsburgh, Pa.
I was apprehensive about starting a job search, particularly since I was seeking a career change. I had heard from others who had changed careers what a difficult time they experienced.
Career Edge showed me how to transfer my existing work experience and skills into strengths for my new career path. My resume looked much stronger than I could have imagined.
The information on dress and behavior and the interview training prepared me for a “surprise scenario” in the interview for my target job. That preparation separated me from the rest of the candidates and keyed my success.
The confidence I gained, the strength of my resume and the interview preparation that I received from Career Edge made the difference and moved me ahead of my competition and helped secure my target job.
Thanks Career Edge.
