As an outplacement firm, Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc. provides job-search training and transition counseling to individuals who have been laid off. The firm’s services are typically available only to those who receive outplacement benefits from their former employer. The two-day hotline is the only time the general public can take advantage of Challenger’s job-search expertise.
“Workers are currently experiencing a strong labor market. Competition for talent is fierce at the moment and job seekers, especially those with in-demand skills, have their pick of positions,” said Andrew Challenger, Vice President of Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc.
“That said, after a decade of expansion, a coming downturn is likely on the horizon. Workers may be asking themselves how to prepare. Our experts can give advice on how to make workers recession proof: how to not only be ready for a job loss, but how to potentially advance in their current positions, make themselves indispensable to an employer, or use their skills to switch industries,” said Challenger.
The hotline does not place callers with new employers, nor can our experts review individual resumes or point callers to specific opportunities. However, our coaches can give callers time-tested strategies. The hotline affords anyone the opportunity to get some guidance from our experts in the job search.
