Chris K Accepts $150,000 Project Manager/Consultant Post with Real Estate Consulting Firm in Northern California-Turns Down Higher Paying Job for Field He Loves-Praises Campaign Manager Lynette D-Found Resumes, Website Effective

Title: Project Manager/Consultant
Field/Industry: Real Estate Development Consulting
Location:California
Compensation: $150,000 annualized

Reporting to the owner of the firm, Chris will function as a project management consultant focused on high end multi-family projects and developments. He is ecstatic, and had this to say:

     "I am back in a field that I first cut my teeth on over 17 years ago, I've never lost interest in the business and always kept current as to what has been going on-perhaps a passion."

     "My initial meeting with Lynette and the counseling she gave me was most beneficial. After going through my personal profile results with Lynette, consulting seemed to be a good fit-it stuck with me. However I had a tough time accepting those results for some time due to a stigma I had about consultants.

     "When I was offered by the owner to contract directly with him, to provide consulting services for several large developers/builders in Northern California, I jumped at the opportunity due to the industry I would be involved with, not the job title or money.

     "I am finally having fun at work and in a field I love. I've actually turned down a higher paying job offer from one of the developers due to my desire to stay independent."

Chris made note of several parts of the SET service that were helpful for him. He used the website frequently, he pointed out, for finding employers to contact, recruiter openings, getting information before interviews, and other purposes. The resumes and resume distributions were also effective, as was the sample letter package.

He also appreciated the communication strategy, the Personal Profile, and strategies for interviewing and negotiating.
