GENERAL REVIEW

Nick came to R. L. Stevens after searching on his own for 17 months.  He had spent 20 years in automotive racing and car design in Europe prior to moving to the United States.  Nothing seemed to open for him, even in the racing capital of the world.  So, he utilized his design engineering background and experience with composite materials to formulate light weight and durable cabinets, but from whence he came, there was not satisfaction or peace.

The first concern was to target Nick's experience, via a new resume, into industries that move things, motorcycles, marine, snowmobiles, Jet Ski, airplanes, or cards.  The design elements of these industries are similar and his experience in weight distribution and aerodynamics would fit well.

During one of our last training meetings prior to launch, I asked him how he felt about motorcycles.  He kind of shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, there's not much to them, but that'd be okay."  Good thing he was willing to pursue the cycles.

Within a few days of his targeted distribution, Nick received a call from an industry leading, national motorcycle manufacturer to oversee the long-term design projects and supervise 156 design engineers.

"There were two primary reasons that I came to R. L. Stevens, I wanted you to package my experience in a resume that would attract a different level of interest than what I had achieved to date.  I wanted to tap your information and database to initiate contacts into environments that I otherwise would not be able to identify.  You masterfully accomplished both.  Thanks for all your help!"
