Frank C Now $100,000 Director of Planning and Development with Furniture Importer/Retailer in Southeast-Productive Campaign Enables Negotiation for Better Position with Current Employer-Credits SET Website, Support, Creative Materials, Campaign Manager Jack B

Title: Director of Planning and Development
Field/Industry: Furniture Importer/Retailer
Compensation: $100,000 base

 Reporting to the CEO, Frank will have responsibility for HR, Product Development, and Strategic Planning, basically the same as previously, but with much clearer definition and more realistic expectations. Frank's comment:

     "My boss and I were able to communicate better, discuss the issues, and got back together on the same page. I always liked the company's opportunities, growth potential, and the many aspects of my job. However, in the past, we didn't communicate clearly enough. This is way better now, thanks to efforts from both, my boss and I."

     "The main obstacles to overcome were the uncertainty of my situation, and of course the parallel effort equals TIME (looking for a new position and at the same time give my best shot at trying to keep the current position)."

 Frank was enthusiastic about the role SET played in enabling him to identify new opportunities that gave him the negotiating edge he needed:

     "Your webpage is great-info is right there (However, job seeker still has to put in effort). Follow up by Katherine R, contact with Jack B, initial meeting with Dennis... Thanks, guys! Good marketing materials too!"

 Frank also mentioned the solutions for liabilities, the plan for developing interviews, the process of identifying the full range of his skills, and the resume distributions.
