 Donald D Now VP for IT for Startup e-Commerce Firm in Mountain States - Excited About "Excellent Business Concept -- Good Growth Potential" -- Praises SET Resources, Marketing Director Peter D

 Reporting to the President, Don will author and implement a 3-5 year phased IT plan for ths new e-commerce company. He will hire and manage IT and customer service personnel. He's pleased and offered these comments:

     "It's an excellent business concept. I will have ownership in a startup company, so there is good growth potential. I am highly confident in the business plan and the founders of the company. I'm excited to participate in building this business from the ground up.

     "This was purely a matter of timing - if I didn't leave my previous job when I did, I would not have had this knocking on my door. My first meeting was a golf course meeting the day after I met with SET. They were then very interested in talking again. I sent them my Interview Resume - which was very impressive and helped them want me all the more (thank you SET!!!)

 There was a lot of excellent information in the 'Ongoing Resources' tab that I've learned from. I am very happy to have worked with Peter D. He has an excellent grasp on the corporate world, but an easygoing style that meshed very well with mine. He got to understand me quickly and was a great discussion partner as we proofed and edited my creative materials. I was very pleased that he was open to customizing my materials and plans to my personality as much as to my skill set and target market.

     "I never felt I was just "today's meat" to be processed, but that he enjoyed spending time with me as a person and understanding me better so that he could be an effective partner throughout my career advancement campaign.

     "I also enjoyed meeting many others at your offices in Denver - I highly recommend making an on-site visit for the final pre-launch consultation, vs. doing that via teleconference. The face-to-face contact is invaluable in helping you understand SET is not only serious about their business, but truly passionate about what they do and constantly working to refine and improve the people, the process and the materials. It is also invaluable for your Marketing Director to sit down with you in person and get a sense for your visible characteristics and traits.

     "I am very pleased with my creative materials and gaining an understanding of how to use and modify them in various situations. I have never felt more confident in my job-searching tool kit than I do right now.

     "I would absolutely recommend SET, and have already. Even though I have not yet utilized all the resources available from my contract, I feel I got more than my money's worth in the education I received in approaching the job market, understanding myself a little better, a world-class resume (for which I've had many compliments in less than a week!) and, perhaps most importantly, through this process I gained my confidence back."

 Thank you Peter and SET - I look forward to being a member of the Executive Advisory Group and promoting your services."

 Don also praised the Industry Characteristics Profile, communication strategy and other reources.
