Real Results for Real People
HRG has supported employees through some of the Hunter's largest restructures. Here's what participants say about the program.
"Craig was innovative, creative and worked tirelessly to ensure that I was active and positive during my career transition from Energy Australia. He had me explore my skill set and truly evaluate my options. We worked my resume through multiple iterations and developed videos I used to approach potential employers. Craig was invaluable with assistance in preparing job applications and ensuring I was effective in the interview process. Craig was influential in assisting me to secure work as a career transition coach on a mining project."
"When I was made redundant from Rio Tinto I thought my path to a new role would be easier than it turned out to be, and if it wasn't for the support from Craig, I am sure it would have been an even more negative experience. Craig taught me how to explore various options, assisted me to connect with the right people, and aided in planning a small business venture as another earning stream. With Craig's local knowledge, powerful network and great way of teaching I transitioned from Rio so much more effectively than if I would have gone it alone."
