Stuart T Now $135,000-plus Associate Director with Pharmaceutical Firm in Northeast -- "Challenging and Rewarding" -- Praises Many SET Resources

Title: Associate Director
Field/Industry: Pharmaceuticals
Compensation: $135,000 base plus $25,000 signing bonus, 18 percent bonus, $12,000 relocation, 401K/pension

Reporting to the Vice President Marketing, Consumer Medicines, Stuart will develop national retail strategy for the consumer medicines division. The primary project will be to lead the creation and retail execution of two major disease management category launches. Stuart was pleased to accept for many reasons:

"It's challenging and rewarding work, there is generous compensation, family friendly benefits, rapid advancement opportunities, I'm expanding into a new industry (pharma), and there is the ability to find quality of life living in the area. The people are also smart and passionate about the projects."

Stuart found many of SET's resources effective for him:

     "Claire's clear advice regarding how to structure my search and how to manage some of the issues and questions was very helpful. Having Claire review some of the job descriptions that most interested me and getting her advice on how to best position myself against them during interviews helped considerably to generate two of the offers."

     "2/3 of the responses were from SET's distribution, while the other 1/3 were from my personal efforts. I am pleased with the quantity and overall quality of the responses, and pleased with the ongoing counseling I received. I firmly believe Claire's counseling gave me the understanding and reassurance to ask for more money (between $25K-$35K more to my offers) and understanding to ask for more time to complete the assorted negotiations.

     "The tools created and provided my SET were also helpful-I used the assorted contact letters daily, the SOARs allowed for streamlined customization, and my "two minute commercial" helped my preparedness. All of these tools helped my total presentation to future employers."
