General Review
Steve came to R.
L. Stevens quite disillusioned with courtroom law and greatly
desiring to close his 16-year-old private practice and obtain a
corporate position. He had no direct knowledge of the corporate
world and very little idea of what he could offer a company.
Early work with Steve identified his excellent analytical skills,
"street smarts", and ability to think quickly and negotiate
shrewdly. Moreover, he began to realize that these skills are
valuable in business as well as legal professions. Unfortunately, he
incurred a back injury which forced him to put his career-changing
campaign on hold for five months. When he returned to us, he was
still in pain and pessimistic about his chances of reaching his goal
and was aware he needed the right positioning and market approach to
succeed.
Through RLS research Steve connected with a Senior Vice President
in a Fortune 200 company who told him of that company's need for
organization and analytical support with respect to worldwide,
multimillion- dollar supply contracts. After seven interviews there
and two months of waiting, he was hired at a salary close to 60%
higher than his most recent annual income, plus benefits. He is
thrilled with the opportunity to start a whole new career direction.
