Are you working at Boeing and holding a WARN (60-day notice of layoff) or just want to consider other options? Ed Wells can help with classes (see sample of courses below) and also career coaching and consulting. This is a contract benefit for all SPEEA-represented employees currently at Boeing.
- I got the job I interviewed for and start this Friday so I am no longer being laid off - a lot of thanks to you for the coaching session.
- In my life, I’ve had the fortune to have formally interviewed only once, for an internship nine years ago which became my current job. As a result, much of your presentation was new material for me, and I learned a lot.
- Thanks for your help in the resume workshop and editing my resume. I just got a position!
