Paul C Now $95,000-plus Production Manager With Defense Contractor in New England -- "Potential to Become Executive Director" -- Praises SET Website and Campaign Manager Mike O

Title: Production Manager
Field/Industry: Defense Contractor
Compensation: $95,000 base plus bonus

 Reporting to an Executive Director, Paul will have responsibility to improve production flow; get the plant on schedule; eliminate apathy of the workforce; and improve skills of the salaried workforce. He sees a lot of potential for growth:

     "There is the potential to become an executive director leading three or four plants. The threat of terrorism is leading to a large increase in potential business for the company. The starting compensation is a sufficient base to improve upon."

 Paul offered the following comment about SET:

     "Obviously the access to all the job boards was very important. Also the systematic approach. Most helpful, however, was my team leader Mike. Searching for new employment in the computer age is much different than when I did it 16 years ago. It can be very frustrating and depressing. Mike helped keep both me and my wife's spirits up. His personal contact was most important to me."

 Paul also mentioned many other SET resources. He mentioned as helpful the Industry Characteristics Profile, the communication strategy and solutions for concerns, the Personal Profile, guidance on interviewing and negotiating, the resumes and sample letters, the resume distributions and the ongoing services from the whole team at SET.
