Client:  Denny

General Review

Denny had spent over 30 years with the same company.  He had planned on retiring from that company until he was downsized.  He had lost his job because of the market, and knew that as a result of the economy, his industry was struggling.  After being unemployed for six months and not receiving any interviews, he decided to seek professional assistance.

Denny’s consultant developed a resume that marketed him to industries that were successful in today’s economy.  She presented him with targeted research and key decision makers and guided him to maximize exposure to unadvertised positions.  She also presented to him tailored interviewing tactics designed to capture the offer.  When Denny was presented with an offer, she conducted research on that industry and developed a counter negotiating strategy to ensure Denny didn’t leave any money on the table.

Denny received an offer within 5 weeks of signing on with R.L. Stevens in a completely different industry.  He was successful in transitioning from a difficult real estate market to a targeted manufacturing environment where he was presented with potential growth opportunities.  Denny captured a position that utilized his previous skills and offered the ability to learn and grow into a new skill set.  He commented:

My consultant was a ready resource for guidance and topical discussions as various issues would arise.  We conducted weekly meetings or calls to define needed activities.  Her insights and recommendations were important to decisions I made.  I felt the relationship was good and I had confidence and trust in her opinions.  It was a good experience that enhanced my professional skills.
