Peter G Wins $102,000-plus Project Manager Position with Major Insurer in New England -- "Growth Opportunities Available" -- Compliments Resume and Website Search Tools

Title: Project Manager
Field/Industry: Insurance
Compensation: $102,000 base plus up to $20,000 bonus

 Pete will provide project leadership for projects supporting the Legal Department of this major insurer. The Legal Department has over 1200 employees. He will be evaluating existing and new applications. He sees a bright future ahead, and had this to say:

     "This is one of the top firms to work for in this area. I will have plenty to learn and will be able to become certified in project management. Growth opportunities will be available and a career path has been described. I could see myself being there for many years and moving up in the organization. As a plus, it's an easy commute (25-30 minutes)."

 When commenting on the various elements of SET's service, he singled out two as most helpful:

     "The search tools and research services on the website, and the appealing construction of my resume, were the two components that helped the most."

 Pete used the website aggressively, for finding openings, growth firms and other employers, emerging opportunities, learning about advanced strategies, and getting information before interviews. He also mentioned as helpful several other parts of the service-including the communication strategy and the strategies for interviewing and negotiating. In addition to the Universal and Interview Resumes, he found the letter samples quite helpful. He also mentioned the ongoing services from his web support team, and the overall friendliness and hospitality of SET's people.
