Endeavor Success Story: Case Study
Explore how a senior insurance executive who was laid off found a new job with Endeavor's help
Executive Job Search Situation Overview
A senior executive with a large national insurance carrier was laid off due to a corporate reorganization. Unfortunately, this executive had not searched for a job in nearly 20 years, so he was very lost in the contemporary job search market. In addition, his previous job searches were for lower-level positions, so he had no experience with an executive job search. When he reached out and decided to partner with Endeavor, he had just five months of severance left and needed to secure his next executive role.
CHALLENGES TO OVERCOME IN CLIENT'S EXECUTIVE JOB SEARCH
Our client's personal branding materials, like his resume, LinkedIn profile, and profile picture, were outdated. He did have several hundred LinkedIn connections, but most were from his previous company, so our client needed to grow his professional network within the insurance industry.
Another challenge facing our client was that he had a difficult time discussing his previous employment. He felt he had to hide that he was laid off, even though he was not terminated for cause and had been a good executive overall.
Family obligations was an additional challenge to take into account, as his spouse and daughter, who was actively involved in high school activities, were not wanting to relocate to another city or state.
ENDEAVOR AGENCY ACTION PLAN
After reaching out to Endeavor and having several free consultation conversations, this executive signed with us to help him navigate his job search. The Endeavor career experts met with him to review how to improve our new client's overall executive job seeking skills.
The Endeavor team rebuilt his personal marketing materials so that his value could be communicated quickly and powerfully. Every piece of his job search marketing package told how he successfully turned around three different divisions with a multi-billion dollar company.
Our client grew his professional network by contacting key senior leaders in his industry after learning best practices on how to do so with Endeavor's expertise. Then, he reached out to begin effective conversations with key people in several companies. He knew who to contact and what to write to these people as Endeavor helped him find the right people to target, their email addresses, and wrote the verbiage for him to use.
