SET — Job Search Success Stories

Client comments on how SET services resulted in an excellent employment opportunity in the the Midwest. 238

Connor E Now $83,000 Project Auditor with Accounting Firm in Midwest-Pleased With Work Environment, Prospects-Overcomes Age, Lack of Certification-Praises Recruiter Mailings, Several SET Resources

Title: Project Auditor
Field/Industry: Accounting Firm
Compensation: $83,000 base (annualized)

Reporting to a Project Manager, Connor will be involved with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance audits. He will design, develop and test corporate internal audit controls for financial reporting for client companies. He's pleased with the move and with the help he got from SET:

"Contract work is lucrative in this metro area. This should continue for several years as long as public companies are working to comply with the new law. Compensation is good and my current contract rates have exceeded my compensation goals. Also, the work environment is good. If I don't like where I am assigned I can release from that project and go on to another. My experience has been the big factor, overcoming both my age and lack of certification."

"The biggest help that I got from SET were the initial meetings and subsequent followup that helped me focus on what my short term goals were, and helped keep me focused until I was able to get noticed and into the mainstream of contract work. Also, the mass mailing to the search companies helped me to make contacts that proved to be helpful."

Connor specifically praised many SET resources as helpful-the Industry Characteristics Profile, SOAR stories, communication strategy, the plan for developing interviews, identifying all his strengths, solutions for concerns, the resumes and sample letters, the website for finding openings, contacting recruiters and growth firms and getting information before interviews, the resume distributions and the ongoing services from his team.

He made special mention of the support he received from Campaign Manager David M.
