First Sun Team was quickly on-site for our recent reduction in force(over 300) of our plant. We were pleased how efficiently First Sun local consultants assisted each of our transitioning employees while not disrupting their temporary work schedules (Three months closing).

We have also been able to utilize First Sun to implement outplacement services thru their network to 12 additional plants throughout the country.

We highly recommend First Sun Consulting.

After over 20 years I was an executive recently laid off & my former company offered me outplacement services thru a national company.

After their first meeting, it was quickly apparent this was simply a ‘cattle call’ to process me thru their website (I guess for billing purposes).  Then when I was assigned a consultant(over the phone), found out the consultant was managing over 120 employees.  I was done!

I contacted our HR Department to request to seek services outside (with the same contract price) the company.  They agreed.

That is when I found a local office at First Sun Consulting where the local live consultant trained/assisted me thru my transition along with their social media training. Bottom Line: I was re-employed in 3 months.

First Sun did a Great Job with local assistance!

As a nonprofit we had a very limited budget to assist our transitioning employees during budget cuts in our organization.

First Sun not only met our budget but offered over six office in the DC/Maryland area to meet with each of our transitioning employees near their homes.

I was very pleased with both their support & services.

First Sun Consulting(FSC) local personal career transition coach was invaluable to me in my search for a new position.

After providing wonderful emotional support through the initial roller-coaster phase of my transition, she helped me identify and articulate my accomplishments over a twenty-year tenure, draft a well-received resume and hone my interviewing skills.  She helped me identify the transitional skills that would make me marketable to other industries.  Her networking advice opened many interview opportunities to me.

My local Coach was professional and willingness to do whatever it took went way beyond my expectations.  A year into my new position, she continues to touch base with me and offer advice regarding new job issues.

I highly recommend First Sun Consulting.

Sincerely,

Cynthia H. E.

I want to thank you for your help, support and guidance as my Career Coach after my termination from kp last July. Your expertise helped guide me through the process of excepting the situation as it was and provided me with a positive outlook on my path forward in thinking about “life after kp” after 31 years of service to the company.

The guidance you gave me on writing my resume was invaluable and an eye opener to say the least. It seems like a slam dunk to simply sit down and write things out, but it isn’t that simple as I learned from you.

Based on my own experience I know you and First Sun can be of great value to others who are no longer with kp needing Career Coach services. I hope for their own benefit they take advantage of the opportunity and trust they too will find the experience very worthwhile in their transition to “life after kp” and a path forward in a new career.

I’m on track with my initial plan to seek employment starting February 2018 and will keep you apprised of my progress. Thanks again for your help and support and staying in contact with me along the way.

Best regards,

Bobby N. –

I want to thank you personally for  all of your help and support during my new  career search.  It is amazing what you take for granted over a 30 year career.

Fortunately your thought provoking questions and  your desire to want to help me kept me on track  to change my  job description (your  description of my “old school” resume) to a proper resume detailing my achievements instead  of my functions and responsibilities.

In some  cases I  needed to provide both resumes to  show that although I had  many achievements,  I also had to go through the detail over  the  years to get the job done.  I believe I was lucky to  get a senior position so quickly – but I am a  firm  believer that luck is a by-product of  hard  work.

I would highly recommend you as  well  as Sun Consulting.  The guide you  provided was very helpful  as well as my  several conversations with other people from  Sun Consulting which supplemented your  guidance.

Kind regards,

Tom L.  – President/CFO – Richmond, Va

As we spoke about on the phone, I recently accepted a job offer for a contract position working at a major financial company.  I think it’s a great opportunity for me and I wanted to take this time to thank you for all you have done for me the past three months.  You made a positive difference in how I think about and execute job-searching.

Being laid-off was a very scary and discouraging experience for me, so having you there to get me refocused on the task at hand was very important.  All of your advice from resume-building to networking and interviewing was and is still very useful to me as I move to the next stage of my career.

Finally, I really appreciated your concern for my personal well-being in addition to my professional well-being through your compassion, encouragement and one-on-one approach. 

Thank you again so much for everything, I couldn’t have done it without you!

Sincerely,

Kurt T.  – Project Manager , Richmond, Va
