Client:  Walter

General Review

Walter had been unemployed for four weeks when he sought the services of R.L. Stevens & Associates.  He realized that since he had not looked for work for 11+ years, he needed a stronger resume and cover letters and more effective ways to generate interviews than had worked earlier in his career.  Time was of the essence.

His consultant quickly assessed in detail Walter’s most marketable skills and knowledge and crafted a powerful resume focused on them, targeted to growth industries. He provided Walter key information and identified decision-makers in organizations within those industries.  He then developed a marketing plan to generate interest in both the advertised and unadvertised job markets. He provided Walter attention-getting written communications focused on the Director level. He taught and coached Walter on interviewing and networking toward his main objectives.

Walter began interviewing less than a month later. Through contact development, he obtained contract work which turned into a staff management position.  His consultant helped him assess the viability of the position and the organization.  His new position also provides him a step up in title and, more importantly, a good measure of career stability.
