From Our Clients

Thank you so much for your input Peter.

This is the most candid input I’ve received on my resume and I do appreciate it.

Have a blessed day.

Rolande S.

Greg, Good Morning.

What a great job. Looks like we are 95%+ there. Several highlights of the attached:

Suggested additions are in red.

Suggested deletions are highlighted in yellow (couldn’t find the line out option….).

I’ll give you a call with a couple of questions.

Looking forward to getting this finalized and moving on to the LinkedIn profile update. Not sure how long the LinkedIn piece will take. I was hoping to get it updated so people could read it over the Thanksgiving weekend but that might be pressing it.

Feels good to have this moving along and so close to the finale version.

Thanks,

Brian B.

Peter,

I wanted to touch base and say that already, I’m pleased I contracted with you all to rewrite the resume/cover letter and then do the email blast.

While the ultimate goal is to land the perfect job, the combination of the above is opening doors. Since the email blast went out on Monday, I’ve received:

-appx 75 emails with “impressive background, not currently working on any assignments that would be a fit but will add you to our database”

-5 actual phone conversations

a. 2 have been interviews albeit, one sounded like a perfect fit but the compensation was $40,000 lower than what I put into the email blast criteria and is also low for the type of role

b. 3 have been with recruiters to gain a better understanding of my background. Results so far = 1 might have an opportunity to present to me by tomorrow, another is supposed to have their background on me completed by tomorrow and can then share 3 roles that might be a fit, and another is scheduling a call with the VP of sales for a position he feels I’d be excellent for.

In addition to this, I have another call with a recruiter scheduled for tomorrow for “several positions that might be a fit” and another discussion still being scheduled for early next week.

On top of this, one of the managing partners I spoke with today mentioned that normally, he receives thousands of emails like the one that came from the blast, but the reason he reached out is because of how clear the resume was written. He said that typically the resumes he receives are garbage, but mine made it very clear on strengths, accomplishments and what I was looking for so KUDOS to Jeanie ?

Just wanted to give some initial feedback from day 3.5 since the email blast went out

Patrick W.

Happy New Year, Peter!

All the best for 2019.

I’ve received Jeanie’s first draft of my resume and was happy with the results.

I’m looking forward to receiving draft 2/final and the letter.

It’s been a pleasure working with you, Anita and Jeanie.

Regards,

Tracey J.

Hi Jeanie,

Thank you for a wonderful resume, WOW! I did have a couple of comments if that is okay? Since I didn’t change any actual words, I’ve added my thoughts in comments. I’m so excited to start using my new and very improved resume. Do you think I can add a cover letter, or are you too busy?

Peggy R.

Dear Gregory,

Good job! I like it. I have made a small change to each document. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via email or phone. I look forward to seeing the LinkedIn profile proof.

Gregg Di C.

Good morning Dan.

My resume looks great.

What is the next step in the recruiting process with your service?

Thanks,

Scott S.

Hi Greg,

The updates look great, no further changes are required.

Please send me the text version of the document at your convenience.

Thanks for your assistance,

Sherry D.

Hi Peter,

I hope you are doing well.

Jeanie was very helpful with my resume, LinkedIn and cover-letter.

Do you know how or what can I do to reach out to Recruiters?

Best regards,

Ana S.

Good morning, Peter.

I hope this finds you well! I am really pleased with the resume Jeanie has provided and am looking forward to finalizing it. She sent over the 2nd draft last night and I returned the couple of edits this morning. I’m excited to get it into proof this week. Thanks again.

In the meantime, can we expand this project to include a cover letter and LinkedIn Profile? Please forward the info at your earliest convenience and I’ll process it today.

Excited for next steps,

Jenn K.
