First of all, I want to thank you for the great resume. Wow! I can see why hiring a professional is worth the cost. I must admit that I had some reservations at first since mine is not a "typical" business career (if there is such a thing) but seeing how you took the material and developed it is awesome.

R.S., Minister, Massachusetts

Just a quick note to let you know that I appreciate your efforts during the entire process of gathering the needed information and producing the actual resume. Unfortunately, or fortunately, a person who has not had to change jobs often does not have the experience to create a decent resume. I am very happy with what we produced, and I believe it will be invaluable in my future job search. Karen did an excellent job and please pass along my congratulations on a job well done. Thanks again,

C.D., Financial Executive, Tennessee

Thanks for your help with both my resume and my cover letter. I received your package at the beginning of the week. The new resume has been getting great attention. I already have one offer on the table which is about 34% higher than my current comp. I finally feel like I'm being considered fairly for the value I'm bringing to the table. I'll keep you posted on how things turn out. Thanks again,

L.H., E-Business Consultant, Massachusetts

Thanks so much for the information. I appreciate you thinking about me. By the way, I just got my rough draft and love it. I am so pleased with my results. Really helped with meeting my objective! I am moving through it for finalization. Karen is awesome!!!

G.S., Sales Executive, Texas

Just wanted to let you know that I received the rough draft of my resume today....Wow! Is all I can say. I forgot that I was reading information about myself at one point. I like what I see so far...Again, thank-you for the great resume...I'm very pleased at this point. The layout is upbeat and contemporary, plus the wording is incredible. You used the right words and made key points in ways I never would have thought...

D.S., Business Development Manager, Texas

Hi, Thank you for the article. I have reviewed and discussed the first draft of my resume with Karen. Wow, I am very pleased with her work! We made some minor corrections/modifications and she should be sending the final draft back to me today. Again, I would like to stress that her talent and skill reaffirmed that I made the right decision to have a professional compose my resume. Thank you.

J.M., Human Resources Manager, Florida

I want to thank you for your help with my search, I have positive news to report. As you know I kicked off my search in early October with goal of having working options by Thanksgiving and offers by Christmas. The pace was faster than expected in that I had several options and 3 offers by Thanksgiving. I have accepted a senior role at <XYZ Company> in Boston as Principal of the financial services practice. In the course of my search I heard comments on resume that included: it's the strongest I have ever seen and best resume because it answers a lot. With your help, my resume targeted my search and the subsequent discussion/ interviews process so I could focus on finding the right next opportunity.

J.K., Principal, Financial Services, Massachusetts

First off I need to say Thank you! Second would be WOW. Karen I guess I needed an outside source to re-inject the qualities I have gained over the years. I didn't take time to stop and analyze what talents I did have!

J.G., Customer Service Professional (career changer), New York

Thank you for a job well done. I certainly like it and I am equally well impressed with your writing abilities. I am glad I chose ResumePower!

M.C., R&D Chemist, Ontario

Just wanted to drop you a line to say THANKS for the great job you did on my project. (Resume and Cover Letter.) I took one look at it and had to say "Wow, I'd even hire me now." Everyone I've shown it to said what a great job you (all) have done on it. I'll keep you all updated how things turn out. Again, Thank You Karen! Best Regards,

M.D., Manager, Pennsylvania

Sorry for the delay in responding to your note on any changes to the draft of the resume you created for me. Unfortunately the work you did on it has become disturbing to me. For some reason I cannot seem to turn off the flood of offers that have come in the last few weeks and now I am in a position of trying to determine which to accept after 2 weeks of interviewing with a number of companies :-) :-)

Had you there for a minute on that second sentence, eh? ;-) the power of words and resumes for the matter!

As you might have guessed I am quite happy with the results. In any case I only sent the resume out to 5 places and of those 5 had offers on 4 of them. The other is one I actually turned away as it was not of interest after talking to the HR person in more depth. I have narrowed my choice down to 2 firms and I am leaning toward <XYZ DotCom> at this point. While my salary won't be that of an Executive yet, the position sounds awesome and I hope in a few years to have some new experience to add to the resume. Since I am sure your business will still be around, seeing how well your work makes things happen, I will be in touch down the road when I am ready to move onward and upward.

Other than that I wanted to say thank you so much. Your ability to shape into words my experience provided me the conduit to launch myself into the prospects I chose and land an awesome position. I am just glad I only sent this to a select few otherwise I think my email and phone would have been overloaded :-) Thanks much Kim! You are AWESOME!

R.M., IT Consultant / Applications Architect, New York

Thanks Kim! I looked over the resume briefly and I love what I see! It is amazing to see who I am and what I can do on paper. I don't think that I could have described myself that way.

I think I have really been underestimating myself for a long time. I have been told that before but to actually see my experience and qualifications on paper makes a big difference. I have butterflies in my stomach as I am talking to you just thinking about what may be ahead once I start circulating this resume! (That sounds a little weird doesn't it). I will look at it very carefully this weekend and make the necessary changes, if any.

Thank you again and I will touch base with you next week. Have a great weekend!

C.M., Sales Representative, North Carolina

Karen, I received the first draft of my resume and although I only had a minute to spare I was thrilled when it first appeared on the screen and couldn't wait to read it. You made me feel proud and confident with each line I read and I can't wait to take the time to carefully go over it. You are a talented Genius! Thank You for exceeding my expectations.

D.H., Videographer, Hawaii

I just wanted to reply to the e-mail you sent me roughly a week ago. I'm extremely pleased with the resume you and your staff developed for me. My apologies for not giving you feedback sooner, but I kind of needed to get the job search process going :) I greatly enjoyed working with you and Jodie.

J.F., Chief Information Officer, Ohio

<After consultation:>

You really have a knack for bringing out the best in people - my compliments! Our conversation was illuminating, invigorating, and just about the most fun that I've had in quite some time. You have a wonderfully effortless laugh and I had to fight tooth and nail to resist the urge to continue to say things that would encourage it. Seriously though - it really was a pleasure dealing with you and my confidence has sky-rocketed knowing that I have someone with your abilities on my side. Here's to a long and mutually profitable relationship!

<After receiving first draft:>

I have to admit that I really had the highest expectations imaginable so you can just imagine how pleased and surprised I was to discover that you were able to exceed those expectations. My compliments to your talent and ability. You have really elevated your craft into a true artform. I raise my glass (figuratively, of course, since it's only a little past nine in the morning) to you in salute! This is only the beginning of what I hope will be a long and mutually profitable relationship.

D.S., Network Analyst, Illinois

Thank you for the beautifully written resume draft! Wow, I've read it several times and am impressed with my skills, LOL! No, I'm just kidding about that part, but you did a fabulous job of showcasing my experience.:-)

I wanted to ask your advice on what I might say if I have an interview and someone compliments me on my beautiful resume and asks whether I wrote it. What would you suggest is the best way to answer that question without raising eyebrows that I'm applying for writing positions yet didn't write my own resume? (Believe me, I've thought about this several times and keep telling myself that it's not because I'm a bad writer but that you are so much more experienced in this very specialized field. Would that be convincing to a recruiter?)

I would also really appreciate any feedback you might be able to give me regarding my cover letter samples. As I mentioned on the phone, I wouldn't want to "ruin" your great work with a poorly written letter!

Thanks so much,

R.L, Copywriter, Minnesota

Thank you for the excellent work you've done on both this resume and the original two years ago. I've already referred a co-worker to your site and would gladly refer anybody to whom I show the resume as well.

V.S., IT Technician, New Jersey

Hi Jodie, What at great job!!! Spoke to several people about having resume professionally written. After seeing my own resume, I will insist they look no further than ResumePower.com. Thanks again,

D.R., Senior Programmer, New York

The resume looks outstanding! I am really impressed with your ability to convey my career so eloquently.

K.W., Logistics Manager, New York

It looks beautiful! Probably my best investment to date! I'll review tonight and add any changes and also complete the highlighted information. I think you made me look great!

K.H., Division President, Financial Operations, Pennsylvania

The more I read and look over my resume, the more I love it!!! Thanks for bringing out the best in me and transforming these qualities so eloquently and succinctly onto paper. You are a gifted writer and interpreter of facts, and and I am truly awed by the results! I am sure the resume you have crafted for me will open the floodgates of opportunity!

S.C., Executive Assistant, Illinois

My resume looks great! I wanted to thank you for your hard work and time spent on my new and improved resume. I look forward to using it to help me secure a new and better job. Thanks again!

M.C., Mechanical Engineer, Pennsylvania

Hi Jodie! I received each of your emails! Thanks for sending them over tonight...I appreciate that you stayed late to send them to me.

The resume looks great!!! Please let Karen know she did a great job, she is very talented. I would also like to thank you for all your assistance and patience. You have been very accommodating in setting up all of our phone calls around my schedule - I really appreciate this! You are very professional and yet easy to talk with, I felt very relaxed and comfortable speaking with you. Jodie, thank you for your help!

A.M., Business Consultant, New York

Quick update (I always appreciate news from my clients). Submitted the updated resume that you performed your magic on. 1st submittal, 2 interviews and an offer. Interviewers complimented the resume (and relevant work experience). Accepted the offer today - drug screening tomorrow. All that is left is telling my current employer (of 12 years!!) of the change in career path. How are you at emotional resignation letter - I'm kidding. Just wanted to thank you again - and let you know how it worked out. I am certainly available to endorse and generally tout the quality of your services. Do you have a preferred forum (the newsgroup, or simply the letter above, or?)
