S.R. Clarke Newsletter: April 2007

Dear Friends,

By now, you've hopefully filed your Federal & State Tax Returns for 2006.

Line 7 of Form 1040 is where you list your wage/salary income for the year. I encourage you to look at that number and compare it to the same number on your 2005 return. Is the number higher, lower, or about the same?

Now, reflect on your work circumstances in 2006 and compare them to 2005. Are the changes in your work circumstances properly reflected in your compensation numbers? Did you take on more work responsibility? Did you book more business? Did you complete a higher volume of projects?

If you accomplished more in 2006 but your accomplishments aren´t reflected in Line 7 of your 1040, you potentially have a problem. If you've felt this way for several years, chances are your current employer won't ever meet your expectations.

Are your financial expectations reasonable in today´s marketplace? Ask a S.R. Clarke Executive Search Consultant. We know what comparable construction, real estate development, architecture and finance employers are paying for your skill set. If your “self-worth” is a bit inflated, we´ll tell you. If your expectations are in line with the marketplace and you don't feel they will be met with your current employer, we can market you to our clients who can meet them. We´ll introduce you, and guide the relationship to see if it can lead to a successful hire.

For companies looking to fill key positions, S.R. Clarke offers extensive recruiting experience, a 100,000+ Candidate Database and tremendous search engine visibility in each of our industries. We know that we can bring to you qualified, motivated people that will meet your most stringent hiring requirements.

Best Regards,

Paying Our Respects
We at S. R. Clarke, Inc. would like to honor the students whose lives were saved and the memory of the faculty and students whose lives were lost at Virginia Tech. In moments like these, it makes us realize how grateful we are to have each day to live. It reminds us to enjoy our lives with the family and friends we have made and to never take it for granted.

During Friday´s National Day of Mourning, as we come together as a family, as a community and as a nation to begin the healing process, we know that we will be able to overcome. As we cherish one another, watch over one another and comfort one another, we hope that the bonds of love and compassion that are forged during this time of sadness and heartache will continue and grow. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those who have been touched by this tragedy.

In today's busy world, there is never enough time to meet all the best candidates for each open position. The most qualified candidates, those currently employed, are too busy working to coordinate an interview during normal working hours. The S. R. Clarke Video Interview system solves both problems.

The S. R. Clarke Video Interview system enables candidates to have a Video Interview, attach their resumes and present their credentials personally and under the most favorable conditions.

Very shortly, the S. R. Clarke Video Interview System will be integrated with all our website job openings so that all our candidates will have the opportunity to do a video interview at the same time they send us their resume. Our executive search consultants will, with prior candidate authorization, be able to share these video interviews.
