Barbara U Now Business and Fiscal Director with Non-Profit Family Service Agency in Northern California-Excited, Overcomes Major Obstacles-Enthusiastically Praises Several SET Resources and Team Support

Title: Business and Fiscal Director
Field/Industry: Non-profit-Family Service Agency
Location:California
Compensation: Undisclosed

Reporting to the Executive Director, Barbara will direct business and fiscal operations of the agency, including planning and overseeing budget and preparation of financial reports. She will also supervise administrative staff, prepare grant reports, and ensure compliance with grants. She offered this about her new position:

"I was pleased to accept. The main reasons included location, environment, the agency's mission, the fact that it's a good fit, and the growth potential. I was able to overcome the lack of a degree and being fired from a previous job, two significant problems."

Barbara spoke highly of SET:

"So much was helpful! Developing the plan for implementing my search; the on-line questionnaires that helped me identify my SOAR stories; suggestions for industries to approach; validation of my skills (I'd been pretty beaten down); the networking plan and specific how-to instructions; the resume (I received so much positive feedback on the resume!); 'form' cover letters; and the continuing moral support and practical suggestions."

"Vicki was impressive in the initial phone interviews; Karen had so many practical ideas and offered a lot of support, initially and throughout the process; and Katherine once sent me an inspirational e-card during a particularly difficult time."
