by Guest Author, Virginia Backaitis Flash back to 1990. New Haven, Conn., native Joe Carbone, a father of two, found himself unemployed after his boss retired.

Searching for a Job When You Don’t Have a Job

Job Searching While Unemployed How do you look for a job when you don’t have a job? What is the best way to position yourself? Some people might tell you that being currently unemployed will cause employers to automatically pass on your resume. This isn’t true, since most companies today are looking to hire people…

Peter,
I needed to take the time to thank both you and the gentleman who wrote my resume Greg Faherty.
I left Iraq in late March 2007 after working there for two years, because of the threat to my personal safety. I returned to Houston looking for a job that in a market that was just starting to wake up.
My previous resume would barely net a call every other week. After having Greg overhaul my resume it went from looking as though it were written in crayon to the masterpiece I currently have.
On the best day I received eight calls from prospective employers, or recruiters. To say that the claims your website makes in you and your associates’ ability to write a resume is correct, is definitely an understatement!
I am currently employed with Honeywell International as a Senior Network Consultant. I believe that your resume was a large reason why I received such an excellent offer from my current employer.
I am thankful that I contacted you to write me what I would call the best resume I have ever seen. Not just because it is mine, but of how it was written.
There is no science fiction, and your writer knew enough about the IT industry to convey some of my information into something that a non-techie could understand.
I thank you and my family thanks you for a creation that got me the opening that I needed to get the job of a lifetime!
The best resume I have ever had BAR NONE!!!
Thank you very much!
Robert “Bob” Martin

Hi Tom,
I think we have a winner here. Everything looks good. I will let you know what is the reaction from potential employers.
Thanks again and regards,

Hello Gregory,
I am interested in having my resume that you created, formatted for ATS software. I’ve recently received feedback from recruiters that my resume isn’t getting through their ATS systems. I’ve attached the most recent version of my resume. You’ll notice that I’ve updated my address at the top and I made some very small word changes, however almost 95% of the resume should be as you created it.
Please let me know if you are able to convert this into an ATS version and how much you charge.
Thank you very much for doing a terrific job with my resume. I’ve referred my brother and several friends to you so hopefully they’ve taken my advice and used your service.
Best Regards,
Brett T.
