Client:  Valerie

General Review

Valerie had been displaced due to politics.  For more than 5 months she had been trying to make a transition out of the public sector and into the private sector with no success.  The only interest she was generating was for lower-paying positions.

“With no private sector experience, and without a book of business, I wasn’t getting access to the level of opportunities I wanted.  I really needed help, particularly with my resume.  It wasn’t getting the attention I had anticipated.  I also needed assistance with attacking the unadvertised market.”

RLS not only showed Valerie the best approaches to the unadvertised job market, but also provided her with contact names of key decision makers.  Her consultant prepared a resume that clearly showcased her skills, expertise and government experience that can easily be transferred to the private sector.

Valerie launched her new RLS job-search strategy and had her first interview with the firm that became her next employer.  Her consultant helped her create a position with the firm, as well as, counter-negotiate an additional $10,000 in her salary.

“Thanks RLS . . . this position gives me the opportunity to not only make the transition from public to private sector, but also the way to expand into other areas of practice.”
