Client comments on how SET services resulted in an excellent employment opportunity in Texas. 1392

Susan I Now $75,000+ Director of Development for Mental Health Non-Profit in Texas -- Happy To Accept For Many Reasons -- Overcomes Unemployment, Other Obstacles -- Praises "The Two Judys" and Several SET Resources

Title: Director of Development
Field/Industry: Mental Health Non-Profit
Location:Texas
Compensation: $75,000 + annual performance bonuses

Reporting to the Executive Director, Susan will develop, lead and implement a development strategy that will result in the provision of outstanding mental health education and advocacy efforts. This association recently celebrated a successful 50 years and they are anxious to take their fundraising efforts to a new level. Susan will be their primary fundraising officer and will have the opportunity to recruit and hire a development coordinator. She's pleased for several reasons:

"I have multiple reasons for accepting this position. First, the opportunity to raise funds for something I personally believe in, but also an unusually lucrative compensation package, vibrant and successful leadership from an executive director with over 25 years of experience, the opportunity to work with a few hand-picked colleagues in a supportive environment, and a location that is close and convenient to my daily routine."

"The obstacles I successfully hurdled were: an extremely negative self image brought on by 8 months of unsuccessful job searching while unemployed; a disproportionate level of pure fundraising experience versus fundraising administration experience; lack of a traditional education; and lack of confidence in my own ability to be a successful fundraiser."

Susan heaped special praise on her initial contact Judy R, and her Marketing Director Judy M:

"I give a lot of credit to the two Judys. Judy R helped me to make the decision to use SET and was incredibly encouraging to me at a time when I needed a friend.

"Judy M worked hard to form a re-employment strategy with me that included a gentle slap of reality dosed with real and practical steps I could take to successfully overcome my own denial and inertia in finding the right job. She

encouraged me, helped me to really focus and enabled me to use the tools I lacked to successfully become re-employed."

Other resources Susan complimented included the resume and sample letters, the website for a number of purposes, solutions for liabilities, the resume distributions, and ongoing services from her entire team.
