 Reporting to the Head of the U.S. Business Unit, Russell's mission for the medical nutrition business unit is to enable the creation of a high performance organization within a competitive and goal oriented environment. His core mission is the development and implementation of a Human Resources strategy, creating the most favorable conditions for the attraction, development, retention and best performance of personnel within the business unit, according to business and company requirements. He is pleased for a number of reasons:

     "The compensation package is attractive. There is a lot of growth potential in the company. I like the industry. The location is ideal. Perhaps most important are the professional challenge and job fit. I was also very pleased, of course, to overcome the obstacle of unemployment."

 Russell named many specific SET resources as helpful, but gave special credit to the creative materials:

     "The creative materials were the single biggest factor - the campaign strategy and the focus on my "greatest hits" and the packaging of them. (That's another way of saying creative materials.)"

 Russell also mentioned the website for finding openings, reviewing recruiter openings, and advanced strategies on a number of subjects. He also noted the resume distributions to large firms, growth firms, recruiters and e'cruiters, solutions for liabilities, the communication strategy, ongoing services from his team, and ongoing written communications from SET, including the emails and newsletters.
