Title: Director of DevelopmentField/Industry: Educational Fundraising Foundation
Compensation: $75,000 base + bonus
Reporting to the President, Bruce will be raising funds and managing programs from the business community to benefit the ten member colleges. He sees challenge with opportunities:"I accepted this position based on the compensation and bonus. The opportunity exists for both financial and professional growth as we rebuild and redefine the organization. Following a number of interviews/opportunities from Florida to Hawaii and in-between, it became a priority to remain in this area.
"The organization faces many challenges but also has some significant opportunities. The organization is at a low point but has the unanimous support of the 10 Presidents. The President and I share a similar vision for the organization and we will play an integral role in its renewal. My major obstacles were unemployment and a local economy that has been slow to improve."
Bruce was emphatic in his praise for Job Market Access Center resources and Marketing Director Carol R:"The resources are outstanding! Carol has been terrific! Very professional, friendly and hospitable. The creative materials were very useful, both the Universal and Quick-Response Resumes in particular. The negotiation assistance was very helpful as well."
Bruce also complimented the Industry Characteristics Profile, solutions for concerns, the plan for developing interviews, the communication strategy, letters and the Job Market Access Center for emerging opportunities, growth firms, advertised openings, employers to contact, and advanced strategies.
