Redundancy: Fairplace Helped Me Launch My Company

I don't wish redundancy on anyone but I can honestly say I am very happy how things have transpired since I lost my job.  If it wasn't for that, I would have never gone on the Talent Management programme at Fairplace.  I would have never met all the wonderful staff and consultants who work there, and I would have never had the courage, inspiration and motivation to pursue my passion - that is to start my own business and be my own boss.

Looking for a job

For those who are looking to stay in the same industry or perhaps re-train and be employed in a different industry, Fairplace has an online service called eFairplace that allows members to access jobs database and register your CV via their "Bank CV" service. This is where your CV can be registered for viewing by potential employers.

Seminars & Workshops

The programme offers daily seminars and workshops that book up a week ahead.  Their library on Level 5 is packed with useful information such as The Executive Grapevine (only one copy is available) where you can find information on Headhunters and Recruiters with different areas of expertise.  There is also a variety of industry related newspapers, magazines, and reference books available.

Fairplace encourages all members to take personal responsibility for shaping their own future with the help of their professional consultants with business and HR background.

Fairplace has many offices.  The one I went to is in the city at 32-36 Cornhill.  You can find more information about Fairplace's services by clicking here. 

Thank you to all the staff at Fairplace for making my transition period a productive and positive one following redundancy.  I am truly grateful.
