Client comments on how SET services resulted in an excellent employment opportunity in New York City, New York. 473

Gary D Now $246,000 Senior Manager, Transaction Advisory Services, for Major Accounting Firm in New York -- "Never Thought My Base Would Be Over 200K In Such Short Order"-- Credits Resume, SET Process, Marketing Director Dick R

Title: Senior Manager, Transaction Advisory Services
Field/Industry: Accounting / Diversified Financial Services
Location:New York City, New York
Compensation: $246,000 base

Reporting to a Partner, Gary will be helping to build the transaction advisory practice business. He'll be managing while building the practice staff. He's excited about his move:

"This is an opportunity to try something with a different focus, a different path than I have been on for my entire career. It's an opportunity to help grow a business. There is a very positive/supportive work environment. They have very strong positive focus on their people. Compensation is very attractive. Never thought my base would be over $200K in such short order. I also get 5 weeks vacation... work hard, play hard."

Gary gives a lot of credit to SET:

     "The resume preparation forced me to focus on my own stories and develop a concise presentation of myself to prospective employers. Going through this exercise and speaking with Dick R was invaluable. Prior to my consultation I was very haphazard in my approach and certainly lost some opportunities as a result. As I went through the process, my confidence grew as a result of my comfort with all of my SOAR examples.

     "Discussions about how to handle liabilities were important. I was very uptight about this initially since I resigned from my previous position. I was able to blow by it very quickly thanks to Dick's consultation. The discipline of the marketing plan process was great. I had specific, readily identifiable goals by month. The plan also helps you self-evaluate your progress, so there is no hiding from your efforts, or lack thereof.

     "The personal attention from Dick was outstanding... made me feel very comfortable from the start... very personable, clear, very insightful individual. I gained a tremendous amount from speaking with him. I liked knowing I could speak with a team of experts."

     "Negotiating techniques were valuable. This is an area I admittedly am not very good at, but the advice and results speak for themselves. I increased my initial base salary by $15,000 and negotiated a $10,000 relocation allowance. This was all SET. In addition, the strategizing on how to handle multiple opportunities once I received an initial offer was very helpful."

Gary also complimented the website for several purposes, and ongoing services from his whole team.
