October 23, 2009 — rfriesenMike accepteda position with the DPS. This is a contract position and funded by a grant received by DPS. Mike is very excited as he will have the opportunity to do some ground breaking work with a great team. Mike and the hiring manager are already discussing how he can be brought into the organization on a full-time permanent basis. We worked with Mike on interview and negotiation strategy with both TEG and DPS. He was a little disconcerted about the slow decision process on DPS’ part and was appreciative of our coaching regarding how to keep connected to the hiring manager. We will continue to work with Mike as this is not yet a full time position and he wants to continue to build consulting projects. Transitioning out of the tourism/hospitality industry Mike will make an annualized salary just under $90k.
