Client comments on how SET services resulted in an excellent employment opportunity in the the Pacific Northwest. 1369

Steve H Wins $80,000 Controller Position with Residential Home Builder in Pacific Northwest -- Sees Great Upside Potential -- Overcomes Lack of Industry Experience Praises Several SET Resources, Campaign Manager Jack W

Title: Partner
Field/Industry: Residential Real Estate
Compensation: $80,000

Reporting to the CFO, Steve will lead the accounting team in a fast growing

company. He'll develop policies and procedures throughout the organization, manage working capital and address cash flow issues. He's excited by the potential:

"The main reason I accepted this opportunity is because I see great potential with this company. It has been in business for almost three years and they have grown with leaps and bounds. The upside is great. The environment is very casual but demands hard work and dedication. I overcame the obstacle of not having any industry experience with my enthusiasm about the opportunity and detailing out the knowledge I have on the Accounting and Managerial side."

Steve had good things to say about his Marketing Director Jack W:

"The thing that helped me the most was when I would come back from an interview and not feel confident about how I did, I could always call Jack and he would give me the positive side of the situation. He was a great support person for questions"

Steve mentioned several SET resources as helpful -- Uncovering his assets and skills; Suggestions about career and industry options; Our Industry Characteristics Profile; Guidance on communication strategy; Ways to handle things that concerned him; Strategies and help relative to interviewing; The Universal Resume and Interview Resume, and the sample letter package.

He used the website aggressively for its online "Getting Started" section, finding openings (Advertised Market Supersearch, Instant Custom Market Search, Specialty Files), reviewing recruiter openings, finding emerging opportunities, employers to contact, growth firms, and getting information before interviews.
