Confessions of a layoff coach
Called in to help companies lay people off, and to offer career guidance aimed at easing the newly unemployed into their next jobs elsewhere, outplacement firms are pretty busy these days, especially in the financial services industry, writes Fortune’s Anne Fisher in her April 4 Ask Annie column.
