Brenda H Wins $78,000++ VP-Relationship Manager Post with Commercial Bank in Mid-Atlantic States -- Overcomes Significant Obstacles -- ""SET Threw Me A Lifeline"

Title: VP-Relationship Manager
Field/Industry: Commercial Bank
Compensation: $78,000 base + 30% bonus + $2500 signing bonus

 Reporting to a VP Team Leader, Brenda will be responsible for Business Development and will also function as relationship/portfolio manager. She's pleased with the move, and with her ability to overcome significant obstacles:

     "The bank has a strong, capable, experienced lending team. The compensation is fair, the location convenient, the culture and atmosphere pleasant and upbeat. I'm really happy to have overcome those obstacles. I had no existing loan portfolio, a 4-year employment gap followed by 2 recent job switches, and age. I was "too qualified" for loan portfolio management, but in an industry where promotions are usually from within the organization, and I had limited transferable skills."

 Brenda gives much of the credit for her success to SET:

     "SET threw me a lifeline supporting me in the belief that I could overcome the obstacles, and little by little helped me build a presentation that overcame the interview obstacles, and that finally proved to be very effective. SET made me understand that the tone of how I was coming across wasn't productive."

 Brenda also complimented the ongoing services from her team, the resume distributions to recruiters, the communication strategy, and the warmth and professionalism of SET's people.
