Darren C Wins $80,000-plus Senior HR Representative/Compliance Specialist Post with Large Oil and Gas Exploration/Production Company in Southwest-Found Website, Resumes, Letters and Distributions Very Helpful, Praises Campaign Manager Frank B

Title: Senior HR Representative/Compliance Specialist
Field/Industry: Oil and Gas Exploration and Development
Compensation: $80,000 base plus bonus

 Darren will serve a dual role, reporting to both the HR Director and General Counsel. He will serve as HR Generalist/Manager Support for corporate HQ, and as corporate-wide HR compliance specialist. He sees this as an ideal position in many ways:

     "This position utilizes my legal and HR compliance expertise, while allowing me the opportunity to build my HR generalist skills. The company has excellent educational-reimbursement programs, and it will also offer me crosstraining opportunities."

 Also of note, the company has a 9/80 work schedule with every other Friday off, and will be relocating next summer to a building near my home." Darren was especially appreciative for the guidance he received from his Campaign Manager Frank B:

     "Frank was a very insightful and well spoken representative. It started as a vendor-client relationship, but progressed to a more mentoring-style relationship (which is what I needed at this early stage in my career)."

     "The materials and SOARs especially helped me gain confidence in myself and helped me realize how much I brought to the table for an employer. I noticed an immediate improvement in my job performance, and I believe that confidence will carry over to the new position."

 Darren used the website aggressively for finding openings, specialty files and other purposes. He noted that the Universal and Interview resumes were helpful, as were the letters and distributions to growth firms and large firms. He appreciated the strategies for interviewing and negotiating, the guidance on a communication strategy, and the ongoing followup from his SET team.
