SET — Job Search Success Stories

Client comments on how SET services resulted in an excellent employment opportunity in Chicago, Illinois. 1206

Rick D Wins $93,000-plus Director of IT Post with Leading Producer of Crushed Stone Products in Midwest-Credits Website, Communication Strategy

Title: Director of Information Technology
Field/Industry: Crushed Stone Products
Location:Chicago, Illinois
Compensation: $93,000 base plus 15 percent bonus

Reporting to the CFO, Rick has the opportunity to reorganize the existing department, which is based on 1960's technology, and introduce both vision and methodology to an outdated organization. He will review the entire staff, assess training requirements and identify positions to be replaced. This is an appealing position for him in several ways:

"The reorganization and migration of extremely outdated technology and practices is a tempting challenge. Possible introduction of my PMP knowledge into the Sr. VP of Engineering's Department may give me an opportunity to create PMO."

"Also, I'm happy to get this job with the economic pressures both in the national job market and personally. The salary is about the same as my last job, but the Cost-of-Living is 28 percent less, so I figure I've made a substantial gain in compensation from my last job, and an infinite gain from being unemployed."

Rick used the website aggressively, especially for finding growth firms and other employers to contact. He said he especially appreciated the communication strategy, and how to handle issues that concerned him. He also commented on the friendliness and hospitality of SET's people.
