James had recently been laid off from WaMu after having been recruited from the Midwest and relocated and spending 5 years in Seattle improving sourcing management for WaMu. The layoff came as a shock and the client wasn’t prepared to look for new employment in a coherent manner. Since his resume did such a poor job of presenting him, he did not get an interview for 6 months before coming to GCM-L-A. After completing the GCM-L-A survey and then working closely with his career consultant to clarify his core skill sets, he received as resume that brought full attention to cost savings he had achieved at each of his employers. The result was that he was contacted by Amazon.com after posting his new resume, and following 2 interviews, was offered a 3-month contract position. He wasn’t ready to take himself off the market for that, especially after being contacted by a recruiter who found his new resume online and arranged for a phone screen. The client was Cushman Wakefield, who had just won the contract to service Bank of America. GCM conducted extensive research prior to the phone screen and for the subsequent 2 interviews. The offer came in at $3K above his WaMu salary and represented a fresh new direction and a chance to stay in what he considers his new home: Seattle.
