Joe Z Now $80,000 Operations Manager With Maker of Automotive Parts and Services in Midwest-Remains With Current Employer Despite "Great Number of Opportunities" Turned Up by Campaign-Cites Two Dozen Parts of SET Service as Helpful

Title: Operations Manager
Field/Industry: Automotive Parts and Services
Compensation: $80,000 base

 Joe manages a 24/7 automotive supplier plant with 23 salaried employees and 135 hourly. While he originally thought he'd be willing to relocate, he changed his mind despite opportunities, and feels good about his current employer and situation, as indicated by these comments:

     "This is the company that I have been with for last seven years. My wife and I are enjoying a new baby, and decided that we need to stay in the area. The campaign resources turned up a great number of opportunities, but they all required me to move."

     "I felt best in the current job market to sit and gain more experience, and maybe hit the job market again in two years. Would hope to work with Robert W again then. Overall I'm happy with the campaign, especially considering that the job market is very tight."

 Joe named two dozen parts of SET's service that were helpful. They included the Industry Characteristics Profile, the communication strategy, and the process of uncovering all his skills. He also mentioned the plan for developing interviews, the strategies for interviewing and negotiating, the resume and sample letters, and the website for recruiter openings, contacting venture capital firms, finding emerging contacts and employers to contact.

 He used the website for learning advanced strategies also, and made special mention of the distributions of his resume to recruiters and e-cruiters, growth firms, large firms, and venture capital firms. He also pointed out the value of his relationship with his Campaign Manager Robert W.
