Client comments on how SET services resulted in an excellent employment opportunity in California. 1529

Walter N Accepts $108,750 General Manager Position with California-Based Building Maintenance Services Company -- Likes Job Responsibility, Professional Growth Potential -- Praises SET Website, Methods, Guidance, Strategies -- Meeting Campaign Manager Dayton C Was "Turning Point"

Title: General Manager
Field/Industry: Building Maintenance Services
Location:California
Compensation: $108,750

Reporting to the President of the parent venture capital firm, Walter will provide vision and leadership for this building maintenance services company, which provides services nationwide. He will be responsible for meeting investor financial goals by directing the sales and marketing teams and overseeing the company's day-to-day operations.

Walter utilized most of the SET resources. He credited the concept of the marketing campaign as being key to his success.

"Understanding the odds of any one method being successful in finding a job was important."

Walter began his search by using the online "Getting Started" materials, and then used the Job Access Information Center aggressively for finding openings, emerging opportunities, and employers to contact.

He mentioned the guidance given at the beginning of the search process--such as suggestions about career and industry options--to be very helpful. He said the SOAR concept helped him with his communications strategy and he praised the SET methods for developing interviews. In combination, "This allowed me to prioritize my time in the job search," he said.

Walter made special mention of the Universal, Quick Response Resumes, and sample letters. He said the strategies suggested and help given with respect to interviewing (particularly the ARTS Method) and communicating were very helpful. The relationship with and ongoing support from his Campaign Manager and the Website Team really helped:

"All of the dynamics of SET's process played a role. Meeting with Dayton C was the turning point. He was able to synthesize all the dynamics of the job search process into a coherent strategy for me to achieve success."
