ITS's marketing plan approach gives you a defined track to run on. While many people may know what to do, they are frozen into inaction, or only take brief forays into the market.

Title: Lean Systems Manager Field/Ind./Loc.: Manufacturer of Large Diameter Bearings, Northeast

---

The Marketability Evaluation and the demonstration to me how my talents and skills could be transferred to a new career was probably the most helpful aspect from my ITS relationship.

ITS helped me to identify that my biggest strength was in growing businesses for my employers. As we discussed it further, I realized that I was making everyone else successful and profitable, so why not do it for myself and my family! It has been terrifying and exciting. The business is growing and one of my members came to me to say that it was so nice to have an owner that really cares. I love what I am doing! Thank you, ITS. Title: Owner Field/Ind./Loc.: Fitness Franchise, Northeast

---

A major obstacle I overcame with ITS's help was owning my own business for years, which many companies and recruiters considered a negative. With your marketing and handling of these things, I was able to get plenty of interviews. Title: Manager of Engineering Field/Ind./Loc.: Tire Manufacturer, Southeast

---

What helped me the most was the overall team support that I received from Gordon, Vicki, and the rest of the team assigned to support my efforts. Where I got the most benefit was the support and strength they gave me to believe in my own skills that were able to be translated into an industry that I had no previous experience in. That and helping me demonstrate to potential employers opportunities for improvement that, at times, the potential employer did not know existed. Title: Director of Development Field/Ind./Loc.: e-Learning, So. CA

---

A great resource to me in my campaign was the marketing plan. The encouragement and coaching from the team provided me with the confidence and direction that I needed to get the job and the salary that I received. Executives were most impressed with my materials and demeanor, and having being unemployed for months did not affect my ability to interview or negotiate for the best package. Thanks Larry. Title: Subsea Specialist Field/Ind./Loc.: Oil & Gas, TX

---

Discussions about how to handle liabilities were critically important. I was very uptight about this initially since I resigned from my previous position. I was able to blow by it very quickly thanks to Dick's consultation. Title: Senior Manager, Transaction Advisory Services Field/Ind./Loc.: Accounting / Diversified Financial Services, NY

---

Our discussions on dealing with difficult subjects (why I left my last job, age issues, being away from corporate for 2+ years) was SO HELPFUL. I felt as if I had good answers to all the potentially difficult questions. Title: Director of Marketing Field/Ind./Loc.: Software, Southeast

---

When I first contacted ITS I was running out of options and didn't know where to turn or what to do next. I had been out of a job for three months, and they were able to help me turn my mindset around, and think positively again.

...I was able to utilize your resources to gather information, and talk to the experts about what to do next as the interviews progressed. It was very valuable to have the expertise available to me as I went through the process, right up to the negotiation of the offer. Title: Director of Development Field/Ind./Loc.: Auto Parts/Service Franchisor, Midwest

---

The marketing plan and working through all of the facets of me that I needed to sell were also valuable. In particular, my liabilities. Identifying them and being equipped to address them was an exercise that I know helped me to land interviews and ultimately this job. Title: Regional Account Manager Field/Ind./Loc.: Biotechnology, Northeast

---

My obstacles were considerable: age 58, 25 year self-employment, unemployment, no personal or business network - relatively new to the community, college but no degree completion, academics in unrelated science field, devastated personal finances destroyed along with business left me with no cushion, new mortgage from recently relocating, and my personal goals that placed as much importance on lifestyle as on career advancement.

I ended up with multiple opportunities at the same time, but chose this one for the potential for rapid growth, potential for added income through bonuses exceeding a salaried position, the company flexibility in work style, a tie-in of work and lifestyle of boating recreation, not having the cost of relocation, and having complete autonomy in my position - it was a challenge I found too hard to resist. Your service gets 110% credit. Title: Marketing Director Field/Ind./Loc.: Marina, TX

---

I like the growth potential here. I overcame being unemployed, and my age, 51. You gave me the encouragement to keep going even when the going got tough, which was a big help in keeping a positive outlook. Title: VP Sourcing & Production Field/Ind./Loc.: Soft Goods Retailer, No. CA

---

The greatest support was the building of my own confidence to successfully tackle this career transition.

Title: Executive Director of Development Field/Ind./Loc.: Social Services Non-Profit, No. CA
