Forty Plus of New York

Fast answer to "Why Is FortyPlus Better?"

Why FortyPlus? Listen to this story:

"I was laid off...my company, 'downsized.' I tried everything to find new job. Nothing.
Then I met with a Career Management service. Holy Cow! These places ask for $1,000 to $4,000! With NO guarantee of success?

"Now what do I do?"

FortyPlus Answer: Way too many of these places are simply rip-offs.

Why bother playing expensive games with your future?

Here's the chart on Employment in the Advertising business. Note the steep decline that began in 2001. It has flattened out...but not really shown growth...just upticks and downticks. This is the real world. FortyPlus has a totally NEW approach for the Ad Business. We are shaping up a Business Plan on this; if you'd like to know more about this Industry-specific breakthrough, let us hear via email.

Join FortyPlus. Our entire program (created during the depths of the Great Depression) was developed when leaders still had a heart. We join together to get quality people re-employed.

We do this at minimum expense, because we work together to make it happen. So avoid those scams. Fraud is rampant, the cost is high but we succeed in getting you back to work.

This old photo shows the situation when we were founded, way back in 1939. The dapper stockbroker is selling off his FABULOUS car...to buy dinner. Things have been bad before; FortyPlus is here to help you find a job...and THERE ARE JOBS OUT THERE.

What about those Outplacement Firms?

Often these are hired to assist cadres of employees who are being fired. Unfortunately, these operations are "For-Profit." You know what that means; in order to show a profit, they need to use "assembly-line" techniques...which means "by-the-numbers" processes ... that all too often just don’t produce real jobs.

A "Workbook" and "Workshops" are fine; FortyPlus PIONEERED most of these techniques. But we go the rest of the way with personal counseling and hands-on peer reviews that really make the difference. Career Management/Marketing firms charge a lot and guarantee nothing. They promise results: Now ask them to back it up with facts.

FortyPlus has been at it for 60 years; we are admired because we put YOU first. And we are affordable, not outrageous. (Remember, when you are a Member, you are working with others in the same boat. We support each other. And it really DOES work. That's how we keep the costs down.)

FortyPlus has created many proven winning Job Search techniques.
As part of our comprehensive knowledge of this increasingly important aspect of our careers, we note with interest this very perceptive quote from James Challenger, the founder of the entire outplacement industry:

"Our best advice is to maintain discipline over the job search the three variables
that you CAN control:

1. Who you see.
2. How often you see people.
3. What you say when you are in front of them."

This is all very sound advice. FortyPlus agrees, but our time-tested program goes well beyond this. There are many other things you CAN control...for instance, as mentioned before, your all-important resume. What your resume says and how it says it are deal-breakers if not done properly. Done the FortyPlus way, your resume is a major PLUS in your job search.

Can we GUARANTEE every single person will get a job through FortyPlus?
We CAREFULLY refrain from over-promising. But we can make this claim: You get out what you put in...and we have many, many, many success stories and very few disappointments.
