 Adam accepted this position because it offers good career progression, adequate compensation, and a significant upside potential with equity, especially if a possible merger is consummated. Working with SET, he noted, got him out of his "comfort zone," networking in a targeted, aggressive manner he wouldn't have otherwise. He noted several elements of the service as helpful, including suggestions about career and industry options, guidance on a communication strategy, the resumes and CEO Bio we supplied, our sample letter package, guidance on interviewing and negotiations, and use of the website for finding openings and identifying employers to contact with the help of the Information Services team.
