Case of Richard Richard has come to you by the strong urging of his spouse that he find a job. He has been unemployed since he was let go from a large corporation that had given many lay offs. “I just didn’t expect that I would be one of the first to be fired, I mean, I showed up everyday, worked hard, and was a strong team player. I thought I was doing well.” He goes on to tell you that he and his wife are struggling financially and are expecting their second child in the next month. She will take maternity leave for 6 weeks, but prefers to work part time while the child is young. The severances pay from Richard’s job helps, but will be discontinued next month. He has brought in his Self- Directed Search, which he completed as part of the outplacement services offered by the company. “This is supposed to tell me what I’d be good at, but to be honest; I don’t even feel up to looking at other options. That job was my dream job. I’ll never find anything like that again.”
