Title: Director of Production/Urban Simulation
Field/Industry: Civil Engineering/Urban Planning and Design
Compensation: $97,000

 Reporting to the VP of New Technologies, Martin will be responsible for developing new technologies that interface with traditional applications. He will also help create urban simulations. He's pleased with his new position, and with SET:

     "I was happy to win this job for many reasons -- the location, the compensation, the growth opportunities, the work environment, and not least of all, I get to leverage the resources of a big company. It was also good to overcome the unusual obstacle of perhaps being too young."

     "Access to the SET website was especially valuable. I also appreciated the negotiations assistance, and the support and expertise of Bill D"

 Martin said the resumes, resume distributions, and sample letters were also helpful, as were the solutions for liabilities, the suggestions for career and industry options, the plan for developing interviews, and the website.

 Especially useful were the ability to find emerging opportunities on the website, being able to use the website to design advanced search strategies, and using the website to improve interviewing and negotiating skills. Martin also praised the ongoing services from his Web Support and Client Services team members.
