Richard S Now $91,500-plus Mining Division Controller in Midwest with Heavy Equipment Manufacturer-Used Growth Company Contact From SET to Succeed-Overcomes One Industry-One Company Experience and Age Obstacle

Title: Division Controller
Field/Industry: Heavy Equipment Manufacturer
Compensation: $91,500 base plus 10 percent bonus

 Reporting to the CFP, Rick will partner with the VP of Mining Equipment Operations to grow and improve profitability. He was happy to share the reasons he was pleased:

     "The compensation is more than my previous position. The location is desirable, close to extended family. The position is at a higher level than previous positions. The obstacles that I overcame include age and grey hair; 25 years with one employer; poor industry experience (Steel); lack of experience with current 'trend' in software (Hyperion, SAP); lack of highest level certifications (Six Sigma, CPA)."

 Rick had several interviews and mentioned several SET resources, with the following as most helpful:

     "My success was achieved through a cold resume sent using the Growth Companies data requests. So that was what helped the most. The majority of my interviews were through recruiters."

 Rick also mentioned the website for finding other contacts as well, the resumes, solutions for liabilities, help on interviewing, ongoing services from the Information Services Team, and the support he got from his Campaign Manager Gerry B.
