General Review

 

Francis was earning very low pay for the work that he was doing.  As the owner of his own consulting firm, he could have easily earned a 6 figure salary, but he admitted that he lacked the marketing savvy to develop his own business.  His real expertise was in his research and management capabilities.

 

In viewing his background, Francis’ consultant urged him to look into a variety of organizations across the country that could not only utilize his specific scientific talents but would be eager for him to contribute his excellent transferable managerial skills.

 

Francis’ consultant helped him put together an aggressive plan that included formulating a strategic plan for targeting unpublished jobs inside the type of organizations he was searching for. Utilizing the RL Stevens techniques and research, he zeroed in on potential positions that wouldn’t have been available to the public for many months to come and in this way was able to leave his competition far behind.

 

Francis exercised patience and when the opportunity came, he and his consultant negotiated a great deal and Francis accepted the position. 

 

“[RLS Consultant], it has been my pleasure working with you and I have gained a lot of insights in preparing for this search.  This position will set me up for the next steps in my career plan, thanks.”
