Career Advancement Services Chicago Information

We provide cost effective outplacement services and work coast to coast. Our proven and successful high touch method results in a high rate of reemployment for employees in transition. We practice a short, intensive one-on-one method, which avoids an outdated approach from the past - classrooms, as well as current, but soulless (and ineffective) high-tech approaches. We provide effective and confidential outplacement including direct contact with a long standing and extensive employer data base. In addition we provide resume writing and develop a presentation package, do interview coaching and job campaign coaching, including company research. We develop an individual career plan and do coaching on making direct self-marketing calls to employers. We coach on the effective use of the Social Media, including assistance with personal branding. We can do a complete personality assessment ensuring the person in transition is in the right career. We use the world famous Myers-Briggs instrument and everyone gets personal and individual attention. Career Advancement Services has been providing cost effective services to employers since 1991. The firm moved from coast-to-coast contingent and retained recruiting in manufacturing, advanced technologies, and healthcare to fully focusing on outplacement in 2003. Our partial client list includes; American United Bank, ITW Tool Works, SKF Corporation, Eisenmann Corporation, RDI Group, NES Financial, Clinical Computer Systems, Air Road, Illinois Housing Development Authority, Don Johnston Corporation, NAG (Numerical Algorithms Group), and Delta Medical. Our Lead Outplacement Consultant, Greg Norton, has acquired decades of experience as an outplacement consultant, and as a retained and contingent recruiter. He has earned Certified Personnel Consultant (CPC) certification as well as Global Career Development Facilitator (GCDF) certification.
