Helping Your Newcastle Staff Navigate Your Redundancy

While your Newcastle competitors abandon redundant staff, you could be gaining serious competitive advantage.

​

Strategic outplacement support isn't damage control - it's what separates professional Hunter Valley businesses from the cowboys.

​

What I deliver that actually moves the needle:

  • Your departing staff secure new positions 60% faster through professional resume writing and job search coaching

  • Your remaining team witnesses colleagues treated with genuine respect and professionalism

  • Your reputation across Newcastle becomes "the business that handles change properly"

  • You sleep better knowing you've protected both people and reputation

 

The business case is bulletproof:

  • One employment dispute costs more than supporting 50 departing staff members

  • Add the productivity nosedive when survivors lose faith in leadership

  • Outplacement becomes the cheapest insurance you'll ever purchase

 

Full service delivery:

  • Individual consultations tailored to each person's industry and experience

  • Group workshops for larger redundancies

  • Practical tools that work in today's competitive job market

  • Complete protection from potential legal and reputational fallout

 

In Newcastle's tight business community where professional networks overlap, your approach to redundancy defines your employer brand for years ahead.

​

Handle it right, and former staff become valuable advocates. 

​

Make it count.

Dear Nicole,

By way of update, I wish you advise you I was fortunate enough to be offered the position with Child Safety.

Thank you for you assistance in getting my SC over the line for an interview.

Why do you offer individual consultations when other providers just run group training sessions? 

Because group sessions are built for the consultant's bottom line, not your people's success.

​

Here's the reality: when you're making staff redundant, everyone's in a different boat.

 

Your finance manager hasn't job-hunted since the Howard years. Your admin officer's never tackled government selection criteria. Your team leader doesn't know how to explain being made redundant without sounding like damaged goods.

​

Do you believe they'll all get what they need sitting through the same four-hour presentation?

​

Individual consultations mean I actually review each person's resume, understand their specific challenges, and give them advice that matters.

 

Your finance manager learns how to position 20 years of experience as an asset, not ancient history. Your admin officer walks away knowing exactly how to write selection criteria that get noticed.

​

Sure, group sessions are cheaper for me to run.

 

But your departing staff deserve better than hoping generic advice somehow fits their situation.

 

They need someone who actually looks at their career story and helps them tell it properly.

​

Real outplacement means real attention. One-on-one time with someone who gets their industry, their concerns, and their next steps.

 

Not a seat in a workshop where half the room's switched off and the other half won't ask the questions they actually need answered.

​

That's the difference between ticking a box and genuinely helping people land their next opportunity.

FAQ'S

What locations do your Newcastle outplacement workshops and training sessions cover?

I service all of Australia - from Newcastle and the Hunter Valley through to regional centres like Charleville, Broome, Cairns, Hobart, Brisbane and Perth. Whether you're in Newcastle's CBD or running operations in regional NSW, travel costs are included in the pricing.

​

Why focus so heavily on resume support rather than general career training?

Look, I can train people on networking, interview techniques, LinkedIn optimisation - the whole career transition toolkit. But here's the truth: a bloody good resume is what gets them through the door in the first place.

​

Without that, all the interview prep in the world means nothing because they won't get called. A professional resume drives about 80% of job search success, which is why I nail that foundation before moving to anything else.

​

Can you just write professional resumes for all our Newcastle staff instead of teaching them?

Absolutely. Every package I offer includes a professionally written resume and cover letter that I personally craft for each individual. No templates, no generic content - each one's tailored to their specific experience and the roles they're chasing.

​

Much more effective than hoping they'll figure it out themselves when they're already dealing with redundancy stress.

Here's what happens next:

Drop me a line at nic@nicolecogganresumes.com or call 0439 160 982.

​

We'll have a quick chat about your situation - how many people, what timeline, what support makes sense.

​

No sales pitch, no upselling, no corporate waffle.

 

Just a straight conversation about what your departing staff actually need.

​

Then you decide. Book me in, and your redundancy process becomes something you can actually be proud of instead of something that keeps you awake at night.

​

Because doing redundancy right isn't just good karma - it's good business.
