After 8 weeks and one day, I accepted an offer with an Electronics Contract
Manufacturer in Richardson named QC Graphics. The lead for this opportunity came
from the President of the DFW chapter of the SMTA organization, so it basically
resulted from the immediate networking with all of my industry peers immediately
after being released.
I was referred to SFG from a former alumni that I
worked with at my previous company who insisted that I attend SFG immediately. I
did so as soon as possible and immediately found the benefit of its selfless
advice, training, coaching, networking, …

After four and one half months in my search for my next professional opportunity
I have landed. On March 26th I will be joining Citimortgage as a Senior

time at Citigroup and whom I had stayed in touch with over the past few years.
The chance to be considered for this position was unexpected as it was
originally intended to be only an internal hire position. I was contacted to
apply …

After 4 ½ months of unemployment, I have landed. I start a 6+ month
contract
with De La Rue as an Engineering Project Manager on March 26, 2012.
I wasn’t
looking for a contract position but I am stepping out on faith that
this is
God’s plan for my family and I.
I didn’t get this position directly
through my activities within the SFG.
The manager who hired me at my previous
job (Siemens) in May of 2006 is now
the hiring manager at De La Rue. He heard
I had been laid off and contacted
me directly with this opportunity. However,
that is …
