Title: Business Development Manager
Field/Industry: Protective Services
Location:California
Compensation: Targeted high 5 figures-$45,000 base plus commission, expenses, car allowance, excellent benefits

 Reporting to the VP for Business Development in California, Brian will develop new business in his area, maintain close contacts with industry groups, and follow up with current accounts and operations staff. Brian is highly pleased with this move, and offered these observations:

     "It's in my preferred industry. It's the next step up from what I was doing, which was half operations and half sales without a commission. Here I have better benefits, car allowance, better autonomy, and a much more progressive company."

     "They also have local decision making, direct deposit, and more efficient use of technology. They are well respected. This gives me a fresh start, and I can move back home to this area to live with my wife."

 Brian commented positively on many of SET's resources, including these remarks:

     "Lynette's comments about focusing on core competencies, spending more time looking within my industry than out, really helped. The professional resume and accomplishments listed caught the eye and search criteria of many recruiters. Interviewing skills are something you can never stop improving upon. Lynette always responded promptly to my phone calls and e-mails."
