Resume Clients e-mails:
My job search lasted about 2 months, and I was called in for interviews with four companies during that time. I was called by a fifth company after I had accepted the position. Thank you for your help with my resume and cover letter…..SUCCESS!
and another client finds a new role:
I am an “Electrical Technician” and have been offered further advancement with the company. Been very busy with work and doing some field service for them on upgrading a hydro plant in Cornell. Seems like everyday they find out about more of my abilities and want to keep me around!! Everyone is very nice to work with and they really appreciate me. WOW… what a change from my old company!
