Title: Chair, Bachelor of Science Program in Information Technology
Field/Industry: Online Education/Distance Learning/Virtual University
Compensation: $65,000 base plus special pre-tax benefits and discounts

 Ed will direct and administer the BS program, interview and hire faculty, design curriculum, teach online and establish new contacts with outside organizations. He's energized by his new situation, and made these comments:

     "This position appears to hold promise for growth both in the size of the program I'm hired to administer, and in the growth of the entire organization as an online education provider."

     "This company has a global outlook and is decisive and action-oriented. I can see growth potential within the organization. I also enjoyed meeting the individuals with whom I interviewed and found that the discussions we had were energizing."

 Ed mentioned more than two dozen parts of SET's service he found helpful, but was quite definitive about what he felt were the most helpful elements:

     "The initial report presented by Robert Walden, the point by point advice obtained at critical points, and the general advice about how to view myself as I shop for positions, were the most helpful.

     "The website had good services for viewing databases of special information about the companies I considered. The manner in which I was able to see myself fitting into a corporate world as opposed to a primarily educational one, was invaluable."

 Ed also mentioned suggestions for career and industry options, the Industry Characteristics Profile, the pinpointing of all his skills, the communication strategy, solutions for handling concerns, strategies for interviewing and negotiations, the resumes and sample letters.

 He used the website for finding openings, contacting venture capital firms, finding emerging opportunities, growth firms, and for several other purposes. He also appreciated the ongoing services from all the SET team.
