Paul D Wins $115,000 Director of Business Development Post in Southeast With Agricultural Cooperative Association -- "Opportunity to Combine My Skills" -- Praises "Powerful" web site and Search Services, Campaign Manager Bill L

Title: Director of Business Development
Field/Industry: Agricultural Cooperative
Compensation: $155,000 base

 Reporting to a Board of Directors, Paul will participate in the completion of a comprehensive, industry-wide strategic planning initiative. After the completion of the planning program, he will actively manage the strategic program for the industry, integrating a wide array of organizations, agencies and disciplines. It is ideal in many respects, according to his comments:

     "It was my hope and desire to remain in agriculture in this state, although I have served clients in other areas over the past couple of years. This opportunity affords me an opportunity to combine my skills in: communications, leadership, lobbying, management, and trade groups, to help the industry emerge from an eight-year depressed cycle. The compensation package is reasonable and the geographic location is desirable."

 Paul had special praise for his Campaign Manager Bill L and other SET resources:

     "The time that I have spent in person, on email and telephone with Bill has been an important and valuable aspect of my involvement with SET. Bill clearly understands my abilities and goals and was a tremendous help in focusing my career search efforts."

     "In trying to convert my position from a consulting arrangement to fulltime employment, I got discouraged along the way, but Bill was right there for me-offering advice, direction, and alternatives. It was like having my own personal coach and consultant-which is just what I needed. The web based search services were great as well. Very powerful."
