General Review
Jim was an unhappy attorney working in a family law firm and had
recently earned his MBA. “I came to R.L.
Stevens to checkout all my career options.” He was tired of the pressure
of meeting 2100 billable hours every year and working on unexciting
cases. Jim’s direction to his RLS consultant ”I don’t want to work in a
law firm and I don’t want to move outside the city”.
After a complete assessment, Jim and his consultant
determined that his education, skills and experience made a good fit as
an in-house counsel, marketing manager or public affairs executive.
Together they studied different industry options including advertising,
public relations, real estate, financial services, consumer products and
academia.
Networking and targeted business proposal letters to the key decision
makers in several of the above industries resulted in several interviews
and two job offers. With R.L. Stevens assistance, Jim negotiated a
$20,000 salary increase as a Director of Government Affairs for a top
notch Public Relations firm but more importantly Jim states
“I now have a life working reasonable hours.”
