 I was presented with offers from three different firms. While this firm didn't offer the most money, they expressed a clear vision combined with strong values that align with mine. I had been out of the technical arena for more than 6 years, which created a large obstacle. When I sought an employer, I spent many hours studying their products, culture, position, competitors, and market.

 

 My coach, Judy M, was a huge asset to my search. She was not only an encouragement but an accountability partner. She helped me hone my networking, interviewing, and negotiating skills. She brought to my attention a couple of irritating habits I have developed over the last few years and helped me overcome those roadblocks.

 

 Her never give up attitude was tremendous. I made significant use of the SET research tools. I was able to narrow down the type of company I was looking for and then select specific firms to target. It helped me gain a clear and concise understanding of those target companies. This is a valuable resource that enhanced my search immeasurably.
