General Review

 

When Ken came to R.L. Stevens & Associates, he had been unexpectedly let go from his previous employer 3 months prior and had distributed numerous resumes that resulted in no interviews.  He wanted a career very similar to what he was previously doing but was in a very tight non-compete clause. Additionally, he was looking for company stability-and as soon as possible.

 

Knowing the urgency of Ken’s situation, his consultant quickly developed a focused resume, as well as a strategic plan to approach both advertised and unadvertised opportunities. She provided him research of service companies (and decision makers) to target that were in “like” industries-without jeopardizing his non-compete. They worked on effective communications to creatively penetrate the market and provide needed service and create real value to the targeted companies. 

 

Within 2 weeks after Ken was “launched” he had 2 companies that were offering him account management positions. He was very pleased he had a choice, and reviewed both offers with his consultant. Through RLS research, his consultant was able to determine that the healthcare industry would potentially offer the most stability and future advancement. Extremely knowledgeable in account management, Ken is now continuing to build relations-but this time within a new (safer) industry. Ken is very pleased with his investment of RLS!
