Rich felt the major value of working with GCM-Arbora and his personal consultant was in the confidence boosting; having someone to push him to go beyond what he felt his abilities were; and the coaching when he decided to change careers.  GCM-Arbora was with him the whole way and by following the process his new position meets all the goals he had set out to achieve.

Larry came to GCM-Arbora when he was ready to leave the field of IT and find a new career.  He is very excited about the opportunity he found in which he will be his own boss.  He used the GCM-Arbora process and his network to find this position and looks forward to building his own business.

John was feeling pigeon-holed in the position he held prior to coming to GCM-Arbora.  Using the process he received two offers and chose a company which allowed for growth and opportunity in his career.  He liked the structure of the GCM-Arbora process and felt the interview preparation and coaching was invaluable.

Received this comment today from GCM-Arbora client.

“I’m happy to let you know that the offer was more than acceptable, so I have accepted it as is.  I start on Monday, 3/2.

Thank you (GCM-Arbora) for your counsel over these past months.  Your wisdom, diligence, and encouragement kept me going forward with my search.” – Bob C.

George’s experience as a long-time entrepreneur, coupled with his age, were issues that needed to be overcome as he sought employment in a corporate setting.  He was also very discerning about the type of corporate environment he wanted.  GCM-Arbora worked with him on developing documents and interview responses that built on his strengths and mitigated his liabilities.  When the position that appealed to him came up, GCM-Arbora worked with him to negotiate the contract.  He is thrilled with the results of the process.

This is JD’s second go around with GCM-Arbora.  The first position did not work out as planned so he returned to find a new position.  Upon his return, GCM-Arbora worked with him to target better opportunities and focus on the companies that were more appealing to him.  He is encouraged by the fact that this new position he found by following the GCM-Arbora process blends everything he was looking for: travel, customer contact, leadership and professional growth.

Will came to GCM-Arbora very frustrated with his current company.  GCM-Arbora worked with him to identify new companies to target and how to reframe his role with these companies.  He also learned how to network with his former mentors to identify new opportunities.  The interview prep from GCM-Arbora and follow up with the hiring manager kept him front and center as the primary candidate for the position throughout the process.

Bill came to GCM-Arbora as a senior operations manager looking to get into a start up company in the alternative energy market.  He found just the position he was looking for and was consulted by GCM-Arbora on how to negotiate his compensation package appropriately.  He is very excited about this opportunity and is thankful for the support through the process from GCM-Arbora.

Robert commented that the GCM-Arbora tools, techniques, and processes by which he is able to find and interact with companies that have not placed job-opening advertisements have been most helpful in his career search.
