Online tools and advice

There may be times when you need to provide outplacement support for people who work away from your main base, and where One-to-One support is not The Connect outplacement website offers a comprehensive resource containing tools, advice and information for those making a career change. All Connect candidates have access to the Connect website throughout the duration of their outplacement programme.

The website allows candidates to access this information anywhere, anytime. It encourages self-paced working and helps the candidate to evaluate their current situation and future decisions using a range of simple, user-friendly tools.

Among the modules available on the website are:

• Which Way Now - a comprehensive look at your current situation, choices for your next move, your work preference and issues of work-life balance.
• Skills and experience - evaluating what you are good at and what you enjoy doing
• CV Workshop
• Finding jobs - including networking and the hidden job market
• Applying for jobs - advice on letters, application forms and responding to adverts
• Job interview techniques and preparation
• Evaluating job offers
• Practical advice including managing finances, signing on, and dealing with the emotional uncertainties of redundancy
• Resources for those seeking retirement, a total change of direction, or setting up their own business

The website includes a Personal Log which encourages candidates to set targets and work to deadlines - helping them to treat job search as a project. The site also offers a private, confidential messaging system for contact with consultants where email is not appropriate.

The Connect website is always offered supplementary to professional consultant support - never as a stand alone solution.
