CORPORATE OUTPLACEMENT

	EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES find jobs for people - not people for jobs. So they are easy to approach. The employer may pay the agencies fee, but the job hunter usually signs a contract accepting responsibility for the fee when he/she registers with the agency. CONVENTIONAL RETAINER SEARCH and CONTINGENCY RECRUITING search firms work for their clients, not for their candidates - for your potential employer, not for you.
RETAINER RECRUITING. The service is performed for a fee by independent and objective persons or a group of consultants organized as a firm or similar entity. Executive recruiters help managers of client organizations identify and appraise executives well-qualified to fill specific management positions in commerce, industry, government, and the nonprofit field. Their fees are paid by the companies that retain them, and they require a payment before commencing a search. This is also called a "front-end retainer." Retainer recruiters are paid for their services whether or not a placement is made. Executive recruiting consultants are usually willing to receive resumes from executives seeking new job opportunities, but they are not in a position to help executives find jobs.
	CONTINGENCY SEARCH. The search consultant who uses the contingent fee approach must fill the position before his fee is paid by the client company and this can change the entire rationale of the assignment. These fees are not collected unless and until a candidate is hired by a client company.

OUTPLACEMENT. When executives are fired or dropped by various kinds of organizations today, they are often referred to outplacement or career counseling consultants. These specialized consultants help them to analyze their skills and abilities and counsel them on how to prepare resumes and find new careers. These specialized consultants work for and are always paid by the firing organization.

SOME THOUGHTS ON RESUMES. A resume is as essential to a job search as wings are to a bird: it's impossible to fly without it. But whether you call it an essential evil or whatever, it must be a mirror image (albeit a bit polished) of its subject. Embellishment leads to jail (or at least disappointment): Shyness or sloppiness errs in the other direction. A person who can't distill a lifetime onto two pages will have a real problem in a job search. "Not only did you show me a different approach to a new career field, but management ideas, which I know will help me over the years." Vice President - Securities Company
