Title: Executive VP and Chief Commercial Officer
Field/Industry: Personal Care, Comfort and Amenity Products
Compensation: $155,000 plus 30 percent bonus, stock options

 Reporting to the CEO, Gil will be responsible for Sales, Marketing, Customer Services and New Business Development for a $40 million supplier of amenities to airlines and other markets. He is pleased for several reasons:

     "I chose this opportunity because of the ability to hold an equity position and participate in the future growth of the value of the company through a substantial stock option program. Also, the location is ideal."

 Gil was complimentary about his Campaign Manager and SET's resources:

     "I was helped substantially by the coaching and assistance from Dayton. His assistance has been invaluable. Also, the marketing information on how to conduct a search and attack all of the channels was extremely important in getting me focused and quickly on track."

 Gil mentioned over a dozen other resources that were helpful. These included the Industry Characteristics Profile, the guidance on a communication strategy, the resume distributions to large firms, the plan for developing interviews, the strategies and help on negotiating, the Personal Profile and sample letters.

 He used the website extensively, for contacting venture capital firms, finding employers to contact, the three-day workshop in audio, and for information before interviews. He also mentioned that uncovering all his assets was important, and the overall warmth of SET's people was helpful.
