Essex Partners - Engineering a Change

When his business unit was suddenly dissolved, this one-time Divisional President of a leading life sciences company was faced with a challenge he never expected: looking for a job. With an MBA and doctorate in Chemical Engineering to his credit, it wasn’t at all surprising that his Essex assessment showed a practical, results-oriented mindset. But it also revealed strong leadership skills, as well as a desire to work for the greater good. While he recognized the need to network, he wasn’t fully comfortable with the idea or process. His Essex consultant helped him to channel his natural skills to tap into the power of networking. He quickly learned to approach looking for a job in the same methodical way he solved engineering and management tasks at work. He identified the right decision makers at potential companies, targeted search firms with a specialty in life sciences and went about building a strong network of referrals and relationships. In fact, he even helped a number of others find new positions along the way. When offered the job of President at a West Coast life sciences company, this East-Coast-based, part-time soccer referee was pleased – it gave him and his family the chance to play year round.
