GENERAL REVIEW

When Greg sought the services of R. L. Stevens, he had been unemployed for a month, having been out-placed from an IT Manager position in a small third party administrator of employee benefits.  His written objective was "I need your assistance to acquire a position in a secure and stable company.  I want you to help me prevent and avoid the situation that I am in now."

Greg was extremely focused, concentrating most of his time and efforts on his career search, while seeking an interim position.  He quickly secured a contract IT position, alleviating some of his immediate financial concerns.  Being well networked in the community, he obtained many informational interviews and even more contacts.  Within a week of launching his search, he had already received four interviews for positions ranging from PC Technical Support to Help Desk Administration.  he had also spoken with a consulting firm about a possible opportunity, which he opted not to pursue due to travel requirements.

Greg replied to a posting from the RLS website for a position that he wasn't really sure was of interest, that of a Commercial IT Manager for a large retail computer chain.  After the interview, in his debrief with his consultant, he decided that there were many appealing aspects to the position.  He would be able to develop managerial skills, still utilizing his IT background.  And, the additional compensation was more in line with achieving his personal financial goals.

"I know that we will continue to work together as I move forward in my career.  Meanwhile, I will be looking to the RLS Network to assist me in filling employment needs in my new management position."
