"SETC provided prompt, professional assistance in our job search [for Designer/TD] -- from initiating an ad in both print and on-line versions, to a very successful interview service at the annual convention. The region's best graduating students and professionals attended the conference -- and in the end, we found our best candidates at SETC. The SETC staff were knowledgeable, efficient, and personable throughout the process."
