Walter C Now $95,000 Division Controller for Manufacturer of Varied Commercial Products in Southeast -- Avoids Relocation -- Growth Opportunity -- Overcomes Unemployment -- Praises SET Team, Marketing Director Chris F

Title: Division Controller
Field/Industry: Manufacturer of Varied Commercial Products
Compensation: $95,000 base

 Reporting to the CFO, Walt will prepare budgets and forecasts for subsidiaries and oversee the financial matters of the division. This is an interim position on a consulting basis, which Walt expects to become permanent. He's pleased with the location and the growth opportunity:

     "Location was very important for me. I can remain near my college age children, and this enables in-state tuition at the University of Florida. The commute is 25 miles (50 round trip). I avoided relocation hassles. I see this as a growth opportunity with the client, with good potential for a permanent position. I overcame being unemployed for 5 months."

 Walt was quick to praise his SET team:

     "Everyone on the team was a great help. I first talked to Neil B who encouraged me to team with SET. Chris F was always there to provide guidance and tips on how to search. The biggest help was being in the initial conference with Chris. She laid out the program very well and allowed me to chart my progress weekly."

 Walt also noted other SET resources as helpful, including the resumes and sample letters, and the website for finding recruiter openings, emerging jobs, information before interviews, and other purposes. He also mentioned the solutions for concerns, the communication strategy, and ongoing services from his team.
