SET — Job Search Success Stories

Client comments on how SET services resulted in an excellent employment opportunity in the the South East. 807

Kevin B Wins $120,000-plus Regional VP Position with Industrial Distributor in Southeast -- "With the SET Method... I Had the Opportunity to be Selective"

Title: Regional VP
Field/Industry: Industrial Distributor
Compensation: $120,000 base plus 50 percent annual bonus plan

Reporting to the CEO, Kevin will manage 8 industrial distribution functions including personnel; direct sales and agents; inside sales and procurement; warehouse and administration. His main focus will be building market share through account development, strengthening the sales force and introducing new products. He's highly pleased and volunteered this comment:

"I am able to move back to the Southeast. I'm originally from this area and after 30 years it will be an adventure being around family again. The compensation package is equivalent to my previous and the company will allow a deferred family relocation. This was important since my youngest daughter will be a senior in high school."

"A major obstacle was convincing them that I had the appropriate skills, experiences and motivation to help take their distribution company to the next level, especially since I had only a capital equipment background."

Kevin was highly complimentary of SET's system, resources and people:

"With the SET method I was able to canvass a widely defined area and had the opportunity to be selective. The resources, which included the development of resumes and letters, and the comprehensive data base, were extremely valuable during my search."

Kevin went on to talk specifically about the usefulness of the website for finding openings and other opportunities, the value of the Industry Characteristics Profile, the communication strategy, the plan for developing interviews, the suggestions for career and industry options, and the resume distributions. He also commented on the warmth and helpfulness of the SET team.
