You are absolutely amazing - a real artist! I am really
thrilled with the result. I can hardly believe it's me on
the resume. You were able to capture my strongest skills
and experience and profile them in a way that will make people
take notice. This resume and cover letter will absolutely
give me more confidence in my pursuit of a career change.
With this tool in my hand that you've given me, I have no
doubt I can do it!
I can't thank you enough for this beautiful resume and for
my renewed confidence. I am definitely going to recommend
you to anyone in need of resume services!!

Update on the job, based on the winning resume and
then a response I wrote on the 5 page proposal they
sent me, the recruiter called very excited tonight
to tell me that I had been selected as 1 of 6 semifinalists.
I will be flying to New York next week for a full day
interview. Then they plan to interview the final 3
on May 21st. I am pretty overwhelmed by this response
and VERY excited. This would be a GREAT job for me!
Your resume definitely got their attention. She said
she had an excellent pool that started out as 120 candidates
that they narrowed down to 70, then 56, then 17 and
mine. She went to New York with the 18 and they narrowed
it down to the 6. All I can say is WOW! Do you guys
do anything in the way of helping people prepare for
interviews? I would love some help if you do for this.
<Feedback given to client>:
"It is a compelling account of a brilliant career
in mid-stream. She did a great job. You're living a
life of achievement. The resume should produce opportunities."
Now if that isn't a complete endorsement!! I sent
it off to the first job late last week and the search
firm that has been handling the job has been frantically
trying to reach me all weekend since she recede it.
So how about that?! I agree on the targeted distribution
plan. Let's roll! Regards,
L.J., Executive Director, California
Hi Karen, Thanks!! My response is it looks great!
I have a fun story to share --- I met with a creative
director Wednesday afternoon (marketing writer) and
he commented on my resume and presentation. I did not
take the credit --- gave that to you! He commented
that by contacting a writer I obviously understand
the value of marketing. Now, I have a 2-week contract
with his group, so my call to you will be lunchtime
or end of day. Thanks so much for all you've done.
Talk to you soon,
C.G., Senior Designer, Massachusetts
You did an awesome job! I've read hundreds of resumes
and have not come across any that match the one you've
prepared for me.
R.B., Marketing VP, Delaware
Just wanted to let you know I received my 1st phone
call regarding my new resume. I posted it on CareerBoard.com
and received a call today from a recruiter. I am SO
excited. Thanks again!
Don't worry, I won't e-mail you with every detail
but I wanted to share my 1st success. Smiling BIG,
L.S., Sales Representative, Ohio
I've heard from a number of friends and co-workers
that consider it a fantastic resume. Thanks for everything.
If you'd like me to provide you a testimonial or something
for your service, I'll gladly do so. Thanks again.

Just wanted to give you an update on where I've landed
and thank you again for doing such a great job on my
resume last spring. I used that version to get myself
into an e-commerce startup business based in DC called <snip> and
worked there between June and December. We hit some
funding issues back in November (no surprise considering
the market!) and were forced to close operations. I
launched my 2nd search of 2000 in November...and landed
what appears to be a great sales position with <XYZ
Company> selling Infrastructure management solutions
(Asset, Facility, Fleet and service Desk Management
software)...I can tell you that during this recent
search, I got several compliments on how well the resume
you created presented me...I sent it out with confidence
each and every time! As good as it is, I hope that
it will stay shelved for some months to come :) Hope
everything is going well for you both. Take care!
J.R., Senior Sales Manager, Connecticut
Hi Jodie,
I am writing for two reasons. The first is to let
you guys know that I got a job! It is with <snip>.
I am going to be starting their Management Trainee
program on May 1st. This is good news and I used my
new resume to land the interview for the job, thanks.
My second reason for writing is to ask if I could get
this position added to my resume file and have it e-mailed
to me. Please let me know what you can do. Thanks again.
E.F., Warehouse Manager, Illinois
THANK YOU so much Kim, for your kindness and the quick
response. My friend Lisa referred me to you. She asked
you a question too a while ago and she told me you
were really nice and definitely a professional, that
in her mind you were the person to ask for help with
resume issues. Again, many thanks for your help, I
wish you a wonderful day.
I.V., New U.S. Worker
Hi Kim, I just wanted to let you know that my
husband and I moved from the Boston, MA area
to Tampa, FL and because of your help with my
resume I was able to land a job starting a marketing
department for a <snip> company. Thank
you again for your time and effort. Sincerely,
A.M., Marketing Professional,
Florida
Thank you, also I have shown my resume to co-workers,
seniors, who I will be graduating with this May,
and also to my friends, I gave all of them your
e-mail, they could not believe my resume, I couldn't
believe it either. I told them this is the work
I have done and these are my true accomplishments.
I expect that they will be e-mailing you in the
near future.
My resume would have never been this professional
without your help, if the people I gave yours
and Jodie's e-mail to do not e-mail you they
are missing out on one of the most important
opportunities in their possible career moves.
D.L., Assistant to the Controller,

I just received my resume today. Thank you much
for your help and professional work ethic over
the past month. Everything looks great.
J.S., Retail Manager, New
York
I wanted to let you know that I had a very successful
interview today with a potential offer pending.
The resume was a huge hit with the people I was
interviewing with -- they really were blown away
by it.
D.S., Senior Marketing Manager,
Chicago
The interview went great - I'm hired if I want
the job. The HR woman told me I was their strongest
candidate and she felt I would fit in well there.
But like you said, it's my first offer and I've
been sending my resume out. I've already got
two more responses!! I love my resume! Thanks
again. It's nice to get in the door because my
people skills come through. Wouldn't happen without
this resume. I'm so happy I could hug you. Everybody
I've shown the resume to is so impressed. Again
Kim thank you for your good service.
B.G., Network Technician,
CNA, New Jersey
From the pre-interview to the final draft, I
knew I was in good hands. Speaking/consulting
with you about my goals gave me confidence and
made me realize what I have achieved as of yet
and what needs to be achieved. I received nothing
but encouragement from you. I can't thank you
enough for the remarkable work you have done
with my resume. You were a friend more than a
business entity.
The whole experience, from start to finish,
was a pleasurable one. Explanation was thorough,
pricing was fair, and the final result was outstanding.
Personalized attention given to me was overwhelming.
What can I tell you, YOU ARE THE BEST. Would
I return in 3-6 months to update my resume? You
betcha! I thank you once again for doing a wonderful
job on my resume.
A.D., Systems Analyst, New
York
I just wanted to thank you for all you did for
me. I never got a chance because I got the job
that I interviewed for! I believe that it was
due to the resume you created for me. Without
your help in squeezing me in and writing the
resume as well as printing it and receiving 10
copies all in one day turnaround time - I would
not have gotten this job. I found the entire
experience pleasant and well worth the money
I spent. I can't think of anything that would
have been better - you really went all out for
me. When I find myself looking for another job
on my way up, I will definitely call you again
for your expert and friendly advice.
M.H., Marketing Professional,
New York
I wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you
for the time you spent on the phone reviewing
my professional career. In doing so, you have
given me a new breath of fresh air as it relates
to my lack of degree. I appreciate how quickly
you made me feel comfortable, which in turn allowed
me to discuss my personal feelings as it related
to my future. Because of our call, I would say
that you have already done a great job and I
haven't even seen a draft of my resume. I also
wanted to thank you for the suggestion of the
online portfolio, I agree with you that, that
will go a long way. So of course my next online
task after I finish this email is to grab my
domain name.
T.H., Director of Online Services,
Pennsylvania
I appreciate all of your help. You were an angel
sent to me through the web. Thanks. I will be
referring you to my former instructors at the
university. I think your services are worth the
money. I feel it is an investment in my future
and I feel more confident going to my interview
knowing you prepared this for me.
S.T., Dental Assistant transitioning

The resume writing was almost magical. Employers
have not only commented on my "impressive" resume,
but also asked who wrote it! The personal interest
and "tips" have been invaluable too.
You are witness to the idea that it is possible
to love one's job! Your competence and joy have
been inspiring to me. You prove that it is possible
to enjoy working while also having a lasting,
positive impact on people's lives. Thank you!
J.T., Sales Representative,
California
I have finally found some time to sit down and
write this letter. As you can see on the business
card enclosed, I have accepted a position as
Brand Management Consultant with the <XYZ> Company.
This new job has kept me pretty busy in the past
six weeks and I am very excited about this opportunity.
I am enjoying the work, the people, and the challenge
a lot.
I wanted to write to thank you for all your
help during my job search. Your professional
advice and friendly support really made the whole
process much easier and much more satisfying.
Thank you once again.
B.L., Brand Management Consultant,

Hi Jodie,
I received the package and my resumes look great!
I will definately be in touch in the future for
resume updates and such! Thank you so much for
all that you and everyone at ResumePower did!
Best regards,

Hi Karen,
I just wanted to follow up and let you know
that I have been getting quite a few responses
from the resume you did for me. Temp agencies
are usually very difficult to get calls from
primarily because they are searching for specific
skill sets, and quite honestly, I have gottan
like 5 responses from them already.
C.T., Administrative Assistant,
New Jersey
<after interview coaching>
Everything just came out natural and I felt
like I handled all their questions perfectly
(thanks to you!)...Anyway, I'll keep you posted
as soon as something develops, thanks again!
J.M., Telecommunications Service
Technician, Washington
Just wanted to let you know that I received
the resume today and I LOVE what you did -- it
made me really excited about my job search. You
did such a great job, I can't imagine having
done anything like that myself. Your services
are great -- I'm really impressed!
T.L., Retail Manager, Texas
I wanted to let you know that I have enjoyed
working with you. You are a very pleasant person
to work with and do an excellent job. I will
certainly recommend your services to anyone I
encounter who is in need.
Follow up:
Hello Kim, How are you? Well, it took a long
time but I've finally got things going with <XYZ
Company>. I have made it through the initial
HR screening and the technical interview and
they are flying me to <city> on January
9. I've also made it to the same point with <DEF
Company> in <city>. I had sent them
the original resume and cover letter back in
October and they contacted me a couple weeks
ago. I'm going to <city> in early January
as well. Again, thank you for all you have contributed
to my search. I don't think I would have gotten
to this point if I hadn't contacted you initially.
M.T., Software Engineer, Wisconsin
Thanks for all your efforts with the resume.
It seems to have worked! Just needed a
little extra time to have it used for jobs
I actually qualify for! So recently the
interviews and subsequent offers have come.
I'll make sure to pass the word to others
who may need their resumes revamped. Thanks,
S.G., Database Administrator,
Florida
Thank you Kim. I feel a bit better equipped
now that I have this "at the ready." I
appreciate your flexibility and solid product.
If you find yourself in Richmond, please
let me buy you lunch. Thank you for the
offer for follow-up.
M.E., Information Technology
Director, Virginia
With the holidays and other distractions,
it has taken me a little longer than expected
to review the critique report you provided.
I want to thank you for your feedback and
suggestions. It was more detailed than
I expected and I am much more confident
with the revisions I have made based on
your report. I have always struggled with
getting my resume focused and emphasizing
tangible accomplishments. Your examples
were extremely helpful to me as I reorganized
and rewrote my experience section, in particular.
I still have fine-tuning to do, but am
headed in the right direction based on
your critique.
ResumePower.com/Advanced Career Systems
will definitely be who I recommend to other
colleagues looking for help.
