Resumes and Outplacement Services

Solve the career puzzles…

The resume is the most important tool a candidate has to sell themselves to a future employer. While a candidate may meet all the required skills necessary to succeed in a particular job position, their resume is the greatest asset they have. The chances of securing a job interview are very limited without an appealing and marketable resume.

Components of an Effective Resume

Psylutions specialises in resume writing that is professional in presentation and targeted to the specific job or industry.

Targeted: The more targeted a resume, the more chances a candidate has of getting the interview. Employers want to know exactly what a candidate can do for the company. It is important that each resume is tailored to each job.

Well written: It is important that a resume makes a positive and professional impression with a prospective employer or a recruitment agency. Psylutions recommends using action words such as, established, implemented, demonstrated and streamlined to describe past duties and key achievements. There also needs to be a focus on future potential and skills acquired.

Psylutions offers resume development services to individuals looking to change careers, or further their current career. A well set out resume that clearly highlights your strengths and achievements can set you apart from other candidates from the outset. In addition we provide cover letters and selection criteria response services to assist you to get your dream job.

Our Resume Writing service is $99 (inclusive of GST). For coaching and assistance in preparing a resume that gets results please contact Psylutions to make an appointment at resumes@psylutions.com.au or call (03) 8687 9070

Outplacement Services

Advising employees that they are to be made redundant is tough for all concerned. The redundancy process needs to be handled in a very sensitive manner. This is where a professionally managed outplacement program can be of great assistance to both the employee and the employer.

Psylutions Outplacement Services has developed programs which incorporate the following:

• Employer support on the day of redundancy - advice on how to deliver the news, handling reactions, dealing with potential problems.
• Initial counselling designed and conducted to enable the employee to come to terms with the emotions associated with redundancy.
• Skills assessment and evaluation.
• Personality profiling - designed to provide self-understanding for informed career choices.
• Access to career advice and placement services from specialist recruitment consultants who focus on a vast range of industries.
• Coaching in job search, interview techniques and presentation skills.
• Resume and cover letter preparation.
• Access to an office in our Docklands suite with computers, internet, printing and photocopy facilities.
• Ongoing email and phone support.

Why use Psylutions Outplacement Services?

There are several ways in which an organisation can benefit:

• Psychologists and Specialist Coaches: We offer the employee a coach to suit their career development and emotional needs.
• Morale: A poorly handled redundancy not only affects the individual, it affects the morale and company loyalty of all other employees. Retaining talented employees is critical and Managers will need to put in place measures to reassure, motivate and reward staff remaining with the organisation.
• Leadership: Continuing employees will scrutinise the leadership that management demonstrates in handling these difficult circumstances with consequences for employee productivity and motivation.
• Public Image & Branding: Former employees who are disgruntled can "bad mouth" the company or organisation, damaging its public image and reputation in the marketplace. This can be minimised if handled correctly.
• Legal Risks: In today's litigation-conscious business world, you can reduce the risk of legal action by ensuring a redundancy is handled with fairness and dignity.

Psylutions Outplacement Programs start from as little as $950 (+GST).
