Hi Donna,
I had a couple other sets of eyes take a look at the Resume and Cover Letter and have included some minor changes. I probably could have made the changes myself, but needed your help to format correctly.
You’ll notice the only change to the Cover Letter is the correct zip (inadvertently used my office zip on the original), but wanted to send it anyway in case there is any final formatting that you needed to complete.
Thanks again. This was money well spent!

Dear Peter,
Please see below my endorsement of Christine Schimpff. I will encourage my current & future colleagues to reach out to her for business; it is in their best interest. Thank you for introducing me to Christine.

To whom it may concern:
I want to take couple of minutes to talk about Christine Schimpff and the work she performed.
Christine is an expert at resume writing.
There are many resume writers in the market from which to choose, however not all have the patience & keen innate understanding to decipher what the job candidate really wants/needs to say. Part of the challenge of using a writer is that the message being conveyed may not be a reflection of who you really are. The document looks professional but it’s missing the “genuine identity print” of the candidate. Many HR Depts. can easily determine third party authorship as the resume appears generic in tone even though the substance may be unique; as such, the resume is systematically rejected.
I invested $575 to the contracting company to have Christine write my resume. Having never used a writer, I did not know what to expect. I’m a skilled writer myself but wanted capable outside assistance to provide fresh insight. I learned far more is needed than just skilled writing ability, which Christine is very competent. The writer must be patient & understanding and sincerely care about the candidate to effectively implant their identity/personality into the resume. Christine interacted with me as a consultant seeking to understand who I really am, learning about my professional history, and then drafting the resume to illustrate my value to the marketplace.
If you’re considering hiring a resume writer, it would be a wise decision to invest in Christine’s services. You will be glad you did.

Pierre, Peter,
I want to thank you so much for your help and inspiration through this process.
Pierre, your writing is phenomenal, and you have shaped a narrative that I was too close to see.
I have already invited several colleagues to reach out to you, and if there’s an online review you’d like me to contribute to, please let me know.
Thank you,
