General Review

 

Kevin came to R.L. Stevens several weeks after he had been downsized by a major telecom company with the goal of becoming a General Counsel within several months.  He specifically wanted a sufficient compensation package to enable him to provide a top-notch college education for his two children.

 

A comprehensive analysis of Kevin’s marketable skills, strengths and weaknesses was undertaken by his RLS consultant and key industry targets and decision makers were established.  Using a simultaneous multi-channel approach, practice interviews and extensive company research provided by RLS, Kevin landed a Vice President/General Counsel position with a high tech firm.

 

After intense negotiations and with RLS assistance, Kevin negotiated a $170,000 salary plus 120,000 stock options which two months in his new job were worth nearly $300,000 (Kevin’s new company is currently in merger negotiations).

 

Kevin stated that “the assistance R. L. Stevens provided in preparation for networking and interviewing was crucial to my success”.
