GENERAL REVIEW

Ahmed, a well educated electrical engineer originally from India, had been in the United States for only a few years.  Happily, he had been able to find a sponsor for himself in the U. S. counterpart of his company back in India.  Unhappily, he found himself working 60 to 80 hours a week in a job that seemed to offer no chance of ever getting away from a grinding existence that kept him away from his family.  Too, he was in a very narrow professional niche:  only a few companies in the country actually worked on the high voltage equipment he had come to know so well.  Determined to escape from his prison like existence, however, he came to R. L. Stevens for some much needed help and guidance.

It wasn't easy and it took more time than either he or his consultant would have liked.  But he and his consultant attacked his problem from every conceivable angle, re-writing his resume when need be to better present him to this or that industry where his talents and management skills could be better utilized.  Research was exhaustive; interviewing was practiced more than once; coaching was constant.

In the end, Ahmed won an offer with a company known worldwide for appreciably more than he had been making before, great benefits, reasonable working hours, and far less travel than he had been faced with.  And suddenly, he had offers from other similarly well known companies as well, including an offer of promotion and a raise from his old company (which he firmly turned down).  Elated, he and his family took his consultant out to dinner at an Indian restaurant to celebrate.  (It was a great meal!)
