A Halifax based human resources expert has developed an online training resource which aims to propel workers facing redundancy back into work. Scott Watson, MD of Summit Consulting and Training has launched a web-based training resource, which has been designed as a support tool for individuals in the region who are currently unemployed or facing redundancy.
MyOnlineJobCoach.com offers expert guidance to jobseekers facing stiff competition for jobs in a tough economic climate.
The service includes more than 50 video tutorials which teach users a wide range of skills such as:
- How to develop credibility with a recruiter
- How to write a CV a recruiter actually wants to read
- How to answer tough interview questions well
- How to deal more effectively with the inevitable setbacks unemployment can bring
The service is already proving a big hit with private individuals, as well as the region's employers, who are intending to include MyOnlineJobCoach as a redundancy support tool for their staff.
The launch of the service comes at a time when our region is facing an unprecedented jobs crisis, as public and private sector organisations are reducing the size of their workforce due to spending cuts.
Scott Watson’s own research has identified that business leaders do want to support their redundant staff in securing their next role but either don’t know how to, or have found traditional outplacement support services too expensive and difficult to use.
'Uniquely, the Site enables individuals and families to share their learning and therefore maximise the possibility of their household securing further employment opportunities and financial stability. As the product is web based, users can access the programme 24 hours a day and have access for a full 12-month period,' says Watson.
