Client:  Norma

After six years with her firm and the recent acquisition of a competing firm, two things became apparent to Norma 1) she was not going anywhere (promotion wise) and 2) she was grossly underpaid in relation to the people who came on board from the acquired firm.  Couple this with the fact that she worked for a micro manager; it was time to move on.

Norma was uncertain as to her next move.  She had thought about sales and about a senior buyer position.  Norma’s consultant put together a marketing package which included unadvertised research and spot opportunities that enabled Norma to achieve the best of both – she was able to find a position that enabled her to use her marketing and purchasing skills while traveling domestically and internationally. 

In a very short time, she was able to achieve a great position and her career has more potential for future growth.  She had hoped to achieve a 10% salary increase by coming to RLS; in reality, she achieved a 38.5% increase.
