Re-Employment Success Inventory (RESI)

Dealing with job loss is difficult, and each of your client’s reactions to unemployment is unique.

With JIST’s new assessment, the Re-Employment Success Inventory, your clients can identify how they are effectively coping with unemployment and how they are not. They will also develop skills and strategies for quickly re-entering the workforce.

Your clients can complete the RESI in 20 minutes or less!

• Step one: Respond to 50 statements.
• Step two: Score responses.
• Step three: Profile scores in five unemployment coping categories.
• Step four: Reflect on ways to more effectively deal with unemployment.
