HAPPY LANDINGS:

1. Yet another Barrett Group client landing at a large online retailer as an Area Rep! Paula’s client J. had landed during his program back in ‘17, but he made a big step up by snagging the AR post in Tampa. Like our other clients, they offered him a generous sign on bonus, and he gets a second one in year two.
2. B. followed Waffles’ advice and used the research Christina had provided and identified a reforestation project as a great target for her desire to get involved in a not-for-profit she could believe in. Waffles crafted a customized introductory email and B. sent it to the CEO. He responded in two hours and explained that he was currently in the Caribbean on business, but his assistant would set up time for them to meet when he returned to the U.S. Her first interview was a love fest, he introduced B. to every person in the organization. He hired her the next day, but COVID-19 delayed her start as they shut down. B. is now working part time as COO and is loving it! She’s scheduled to go full-time in July.
3. Mo scored an Early Landing! S. had his orientation on March 24^th and accepted an offer this week for the position of Senior Analyst from a management consulting firm that offers engineering, strategic, and environmental consultancy services. In order to protect his intellectual property (he has five patents under review and has copyrighted two computer programs, no slouch!), he asked Barrett to refer licensed IP attorneys. Reaching out to the Barrett Brain Trust, Mo was able to provide him with two recommended ones. Thanks, Alay!
4. And another Early Landing client here in the midst of the shut down! H., George’s client, landed at an American aerospace company. George:

“Here’s some good news: H. was a natural. When he retired from the Air Force, he wanted to move to Fort Worth and work for [either one of two American aerospace companies]. I said, “You are very much limiting yourself with one geographic location and only two companies, but it definitely fits your background. The next thing is to use all your Air Force connections to get you in for interviews.” He started making phone calls to lots of Generals, Colonels, etc., got interviews at both companies, and [one of the American aerospace companies] won the duel with a test pilot offer. I was able to learn a lot of weird nicknames along the way!”

5. Lori’s client M. says, “The rubber is starting to hit the road!” He has an interview with a plastic packaging and protective solutions company.
6. One more from Lori:

“I just got off the phone with B. I tailored a resume for her for a Regional VP Position at [American real estate franchise in the Midwest] last week. She had a contact who knew the owner and connected her. She was called and went to an ‘in person’ interview and got an offer on the spot! She has a second interview on Tuesday of next week – the owner is trying to ‘create other opportunities’ within the company to expand the role to possibly include other territories.”

Way to go, Lori!

“Oh, I went over the docs that you sent and they are better, tighter…more focused. Thx. and tell Dan R. I really appreciate the editing.”

They don’t come any more focused than Mr. Resendes!

2. D. to Paula:

“As for me, I am very confident that, thanks to the Barrett process, I will get a great job offer early next year. The skills that I collected from you have helped me tremendously – things I took for granted regarding my networking potential, but not anymore. Early next year just feels right in timing and patience from me is a virtue.”

3. This one for George, from the landing story above:

“George, I just accepted an offer with [an American aerospace company]!!  I am very excited to be able to tell you the great news.  Thanks for all your help.  It has been wonderful working with you.

Very Respectfully,

H.”
