Summary

What could be more exciting than turning a crisis you have experienced into an individual improvement? I have been walking this path with my clients for 15 years as a career consultant. With a clear guiding thread, effective methods, and an individualized approach, I lead my clients from the often shock-like experience of separation from their employer to a future-oriented perspective.

The starting point for developing person- and market-appropriate future options is always a very thorough profile analysis. With compelling application documents and an effective market strategy, my clients convince potential employers and open doors to highly attractive opportunities in the hidden job market. Possible alternatives—such as self-employment—are discussed and evaluated comprehensively and in detail.

Every consultation is carried by appreciation and empathy and is characterized by professionalism and a strong will to succeed. As a former HR director, I actively apply my knowledge of different industries and markets. Clients can rely on my personal commitment, a reliable structure, and a relationship built on trust. Strengthened in this way, they become proactive, make the necessary shift in perspective, and present themselves to the market with a strong offer.

My corporate clients benefit from close communication, fast implementation of objectives, and high client satisfaction. This turns the outplacement process into a success for everyone involved.

“Ms. Bergen guided me effectively and professionally through the entire outplacement process. From creating my profile to presenting myself to potential employers, all steps were planned and prepared precisely. Her analytical and precise view of all the key aspects quickly gave me orientation and confidence in implementing the goals we set. As a result, I was able to take up a new position quickly and would turn to Ms. Bergen’s support again at any time if needed.”

Operations Manager, industrial corporation:

“At the beginning, I felt completely at a loss about what to do in this entirely new situation. Until then, I had never had to apply for a job. Ms. Bergen’s consulting helped me overcome the initial shock and gave me back my professional self-confidence. I now know what I can do and what I want professionally. Ms. Bergen has a great deal of hands-on experience, knows the market very well, and was able to support me very concretely through every step. She gave me many useful tips and very precise feedback about me as a person—sometimes supported by assessment tools. Today, I am satisfied in my new position and continue to benefit from what I learned in the consulting process.”

Sales Director, fashion retail:

“Given my age, being laid off triggered significant fears. Ms. Bergen was able to catch me emotionally and, thanks to her strong people skills, motivated me to become active quickly. In the consulting sessions, we examined all professional as well as personal aspects of who I am in depth. A precise competency profile and convincing application documents were created. I feel confident presenting myself with them! During the reorientation phase, I was impressed by Ms. Bergen’s creativity—we even discovered completely new ideas and approaches. As a result, the job change has become a truly wonderful new beginning for me. I would never have thought I could find such an exciting position. In the consulting, I not only felt valued and professionally advised; Ms. Bergen’s pragmatic approach and her sense of humor did me a lot of good time and again.”
