Title: Production Manager
Field/Industry: Printing / Direct Marketing
Compensation: $90,000 base + bonus + benefits + deferred compensation plan

 Reporting to the VP of Production Services, Ralph will be responsible for production services in print and lettershop, with 160 employees, an assistant manager in each division, and 4 frontline supervisors. He is optimistic about his future, and volunteered this:

     "I was happy to accept for several reasons - the base salary increase, bonus potential, the opportunity for professional growth within the company, my comfort level with CEO and senior executives to whom I'll be reporting, and last but not least, proximity to home."

 Ralph was quick to give credit to SET for his success:

     "Interest in my resume was spurred by the quick-response version I mailed to the CEO in response to an article in the Business section of the newspaper.

 He forwarded it to his hiring manager and arranged an interview through HR. Following a subsequent interview with the CEO, I was offered employment. I used the negotiating techniques to sweeten the offer to my liking and accepted.

     "The initial electronic distribution of resumes to recruiters alerted me to a handful of them specialized in the printing/direct marketing industries. A couple proved especially fruitful generating interviews. These contacts will become part of my network.

     "The written materials were helpful in preparing for interviews, writing thank you notes and formulating action steps. I feel better prepared for advancing my career and look forward to the long-term benefits of our association."
