Intel has chosen RiseSmart company to help those laidoff with career services and land their next job.
I have not found them to be helpful, supportive and they conduct 20 minute meetings (because the consultant assigned to me is always 10 minutes late for the 30minutes scheduled). All she does is ask me on my progress. She seems disinterested. Takes no interest in what I want to do. Take calls in the bathroom. Or while she is not in front of her computer, at a shopping center. She's not even looked at my resume. Just emails me literature to read for anything I ask her.
Feedback I get from her is not informative or helpful either. I have been more successful in getting interviews prior to RiseSmart or using google to get my answers on jobsearch/interviewing/resume etc.
There have been no outplacement or referrals for a job to any company by RiseSmart as indicated by their website. I am thinking of withdrawing from Sunrise.
But prior to that, I wanted to know about other people's experience with RiseSmart.

Have any of you used them or found them to be instrumental in your job search ?

Also what information does Intel receive from RiseSmart about the people laid off ?
