Alumni Success Spotlight
In this edition, we spoke to Jim Resosky of Eaton Corporation (pictured abover) about his experience as a Contract employee through Partners Alliance and his subsequent promotions to full-time and beyond.
Jim was a Program Manager at Fore Systems Marconi 17 years ago, overseeing every step of the process from design, engineering, prototyping, pilot runs and into mass production. He was laid off, however, and quickly began planning his next move.
A mutual contact introduced him to Jim Kalnas and he was offered a contract role at Eaton (then E. Cutler Hammer). Mr. Resosky had never worked as a contractor before and was reluctant, but after being “Set up for success,” he signed a 1 year contract and it “couldn’t have been a better choice.”
Within 6 months, Eaton recognized his strengths and offered him a full-time position. This launched him into the role of Regional Client Director, managing accounts in the oil and gas segment. Today, Jim handles several large, national accounts as well.
He describes Partners Alliance as the most competent staffing firm he encountered during his time between jobs and maintains a relationship with Jim Kalnas, occasionally trading hockey tickets outside work.
Every year, Jim expands his role as a natural fit for the job. He feels his career has benefited enormously from that chance encounter, and from taking the initial leap into an unfamiliar circumstance.
Thanks for taking the time, Jim!
