Our Methodology
The world we live in now is much different than it was 10 years ago. You can no longer approach transition the way you did in the past, it is now highly competitive and you need to take your career to the next level. Transition has become a science, not a mindless process utilizing old and outdated methods.
Individual Partnership Quest (IPQ)
Our IPQ transition program provides career management skills to achieve both short-term goals—job placement—and long-term goals—professional and personal success. Our process helps you identify “what makes you different,” creating a self-branding package to enhance your marketability within your specialty area.
You have access to our network throughout your program, which is one of the most active and extensive networks in the healthcare industry, comprised of seasoned executive, vendors, recruiters and consultants. We work with you to identify professionals within the network that can assist you in taking your career to the next level. When it comes to transition and advancement, often it’s not WHAT, but WHO you know that makes the difference.
We understand that “life is a journey, and not a destination” — we partner with you today and mentor you for the future.

TESTIMONIALS
What People Are Saying
The staff at Wiederhold & Associates were delightful in their approach while also challenging me to think critically as I prepared for my search. I cannot discount the importance of the coaching and planning that took place well ahead of my first interview. The details make a difference and I can attest that I presented more professionally and polished when the interviews began. The result is a role that takes my career to the next level and also provides a base of experience which will benefit me in the future.
Your outplacement and career transition services have provided me support both professionally and personally. I have had a number of conversations with peers that benefitted from the coaching provided by you and your team during a time of transition. I have also had the opportunity to provide corporate assistance for executives that were successful in finding their next opportunity with the assistance of your services.
Wiederhold & Associates was an invaluable resource during my career transition. The Wiederhold & Associates team have a deep interest in the success of their clients. They are positive, supportive and have an array of helpful tools to assist clients. Their focus on networking and building relationships is instrumental in their success in executive placement services. It was a great pleasure to work with such a talented and responsive team of professionals.
Wiederhold & Associates is a team of experienced professionals with exceptional depth and methods in career advancement, transition, and onboarding. The Wiederhold Network is one of the most comprehensive and connected organizations in the country. I gained exceptional value from the network introductions and the systematic coaching through transition, advancement, and onboarding.
The Wiederhold team truly made a positive difference in my professional and personal life. I learned the science behind the successful job transition and the importance of creating, expanding, and maintaining a viable network. Working with the Wiederhold team improved my networking abilities, interviewing skills (both as interviewer and candidate), ability to succinctly convey my value in a conversation, and in developing an on-boarding plan in a new organization. In the transition process, I expanded my network and friendships, much of it through Jim’s highly connected network. The knowledge gained and the skills learned through the exceptional professional coaching will reap dividends for years to come.
I have had the great opportunity to work with Jim and his team of professionals. A company downsizing left me as a client and I cannot say enough about the experience. Everyone I worked with exceeded my expectations. The value is so good, I would of paid for it myself.
