Joyce R Enthusiastic About New Position in California as Project Manager-New Product Development for Leader in Closed Circuit Security Systems -- "I've Already Given You Two Referrals"

Title: Project Manager-New Product Development
Field/Industry: Closed Circuit Security Systems
Location:California
Compensation: $89,000 base, profit sharing (7 percent-10 percent annually)

Joyce will lead design engineering teams in the development of product improvements and new products for the closed circuit security systems market with her new employer, a leader in the field. She's excited about this position because she has depth of experience in leading product teams, has the ideal skill sets including project organization, software experience, interpersonal skills, and leadership skills, as well as a demonstrated track record of successfully leading product development teams. When asked what parts of the SET service helped her most in this successful job search, Joyce highlighted five specific things this way:

     "First, having a job search strategy and the resources to support it."

     "Second, having a wide variety of avenues to explore in the job search process. This helped to ensure that my search would not be limited to the areas that I knew about. It increased my knowledge base and accessibility to a wider range of options.

     "Third, being able to research companies for information and in preparation of an interview.

     "Fourth, being able to obtain specific company data based upon industry and region to mount a targeted campaign.

     "Fifth, having the input and support to draft a counteroffer to a job offer. Also having feedback and support throughout the job offer negotiation process."

Joyce found virtually every aspect of SET's service helpful, from use of the website for growth firms, emerging opportunities, employers to contact, information before interviews and guidance on interviewing and negotiating, to the resumes, industry characteristics profile, sample letters, resume distributions, ongoing services from all her team members, and guidance from her consultant, Bill L, on a communication strategy. Her last comment:

"I've already given you two referrals-the last one yesterday."
