SET — Job Search Success Stories

Client comments on how SET services resulted in an excellent employment opportunity in Washington DC, District of Columbia. 601

Jared N Achieves All Objectives as Program Manager, Subject Matter Expert for Major Defense Contractor in Washington DC -- "Resume was critical... I owe this position to broadening the"charter"at my first interview."

Title: Subject Matter Expert II, Program Manager
Field/Industry: Defense/Security Contractor to U.S. Government
Location:Washington DC, District of Columbia
Compensation: $125,000 base

Jared will be responsible for leading a contract team of 20 within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) office of 90 to establish and manage the DHS intelligence policy program. He's excited about this position:

"This position met all my first level objectives to find a position in private business (versus further government employment), formalize my background as a program manager, have a leadership role, and work in a field outside of law that benefited from my experience as an attorney. It is additionally attractive as a position in the growing field of intelligence, and supportive of my prior career by working with DHS."

Jared said SET's role was critical:

"The revised resume was critical in landing this position, as was the suggestion to file my resume with the Defense Intelligence web site. The original position for which I interviewed failed to develop, as the company opted not to submit a proposal for a Coast Guard contract."

"However, the interviewers referred my resume to another section within the company seeking to grow a team of 20 personnel under a new contract with DHS in the intelligence arena. In part, I believe I owe the landing of this position to broadening the 'charter' at my first interview."

Jared felt that uncovering the full range of his skills was key, as well as the Industry Characteristics Profile and the guidance on a communication strategy, especially on ways to handle issues that concerned him. He used the website for both the advertised and unadvertised markets. He noted too that the ongoing services he received from his technical support, web support, and database support teams at SET was very helpful, and pointed to his relationship with his Campaign Manager, Paul B, as a key factor in his success.
