BLAST INTO THE JOB SEARCH MARKET WITH A DYNAMITE RESUME

With more than 20 years' experience in the resume writing field, as well as being one of only a handful of resume writers with two certifications, clients have been pleased with the results, as evidenced below.

"Certification provides a way for the public to judge the ability of a résumé writer. Our exam is not easy and the only way a writer can earn the NCRW certification is to demonstrate a high level of expertise in résumé writing, cover letter composition, proofreading and electronic résumé preparation."

JS, IT Strategic Consultant, St. Petersburg, FL, 2007

Sally, I had an interview today with a recruiter for a 1 Billion Dollar Corporation who went out of his way to say how good my resume communicated my strengths and was genuinely a pleasure to read as compared to most of what he sees. Now you and I both know where the credit for this lies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TA, Senior F500 Marketing Executive, NY, 2007

I highly recommend Sally if you are seeking a professional resume writer/coach who knows her stuff! Sally is clear, concise, nails deadlines and keeps promises during the complete process of gathering information and producing a resume that has what it needs to get results.

PS, Corporate and Strategic Business Development, Financial Services Industry, NE, 2007

Thank you for your guidance on the resume. I got the job and they were most impressed with my resume (and asked whether I had help writing it). I started my new job on June 30.

CS, Senior Private Banking Relationship Manager, CA, 2006

I just wanted to give you an update on my job search. I have to say, after I got my resume from you, things moved fast. I posted the resume on some job recruitment sites, and a recruiter's search filter picked out the fact that I had worked with the Meditech health care information system. He contacted me immediately and after a few weeks of interviews, I start with the company as a consultant next week for around four times the salary I was previously making. I can say that the clean and concise resume that you delivered to me was a very strong point in my favor. Your service was worth every penny! Thanks for all the help and the great advice you gave me, especially regarding salary and benefit negotiation. The company did exactly what you predicted they would, so I knew what responses to give them. Preparation is the key! Thanks again for all your help and support. I'll definitely recommend your service to others!

MR, Healthcare Supply Chain Manager, MO, 2006

It has been an absolute pleasure. The process was so streamlined and I am VERY pleased with the result. You did an excellent job of creating a resume that is impressive and really feels like me. I had a couple of folks look at it and compare it to my original resume. They were really impressed. I will most certainly recommend your services. I will definitely be in touch if I need any further services.

SB, IT Project Manager, NJ, 2006

Within less than 24 hours of completing the resume the client sent this in an email:

"Thanks. Already had one legit call today from it."

ML, Merchandise Management Executive, New York, 2005

Thanks so much Sally - you did an awesome job!

KR, IT Manager, Texas, 2005

I can't express how happy I am with the resume and cover letter you created for me. I had been looking for a job for a year with my old resume and had not gotten any interview requests. I was responding to Monster.com posts, direct applications on company web sites, and sending the resume to recruiters. In the 3 months I have had my new resume I have been called for interviews for 5 different positions. My new resume is getting me the chance to get in the door and explain my qualifications in person. I am waiting to hear about a Director of Finance position with a small company I'd love to work for here in Denver. The CEO told me that he had the job posted on Monster.com and received 163 resumes. He reviewed all those and got down to 3 people. I'm now one of the final 2 candidates being considered. In any case I'm thrilled that the resume got me into the top 3. Thanks again and I will definitely pass on your information to anyone I know who is searching for a job because I believe my new resume format is playing a critical role in my search success.

7 days later:

I got the job. Thanks for everything.

SD, Director of Finance, Denver, CO, 2005

I forgot to mention that my wife and I are quite impressed with you. Me for how the final product looks and how you have dealt with me. My wife for how you have put up with me and have done research for her.

I will certainly refer people to you. You are extremely good.

KC, Sales, Marketing and Business Development Executive, New York, 2005

Yes I agree that it really takes two to develop it. But you were the one who cooked and made the dish edible and presented it nicely. I was only a supplier of raw material and I must say you are indeed a good cook. I will circulate your culinary expertise amongst my professional friends and hopefully you may get a few more assignments.

PDH, Senior Finance Executive, Hong Kong, 2005

I have just accepted the position of Senior Director for GEF.

Your resume was a key marketing tool for me as it always got hi marks for style, layout, key words etc. I thank you very much and you have a client for life.

SP, Senior Operations Executive, Atlanta, GA, 2005

First email: I think I got the job. I am really excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you for doing the resume so quickly.

Second email: THANKS SO MUCH, I GOT THE JOB!!!!!

LB, Personal Trainer, Long Island, NY, 2005

I don't know if you remember writing my resume 2 years ago but I thought you'd be interested to know that I'm on the market again & the resume is still getting rave reviews (even after my latest updates). With all the career counseling services on the market today, I went through a couple of the "free intro" discussions & they had very little to add to what you had previously done & said it was one of the best they had seen.

VL, IT Director / IT Senior Manager, Miami, FL, 2005

Wow! I want to hire myself ;-)

I felt that my old resume as "fluffy" and didn't make me stand out. It is now hard-hitting and results-oriented.

VC, IT Project Manager, Los Angeles, CA, 2004

I wanted to let you know that a couple of months ago I posted my old resume at monster.com and received 8 hits in 48 hours. I posted the resume you wrote for me at monster.com the end of last week and got 24 hits in 24 hours. Of those 24 hits one was a recruiter who called me for a phone interview. I am now waiting for his client to set up a phone interview.

JB, CIO, Houston, TX, 2004 (per phone conversation 4/16/04)

Thanks, Sally. Your work is exceptional and it's a pleasure working with you!

DM, Senior Marketing Executive, Houston, TX, 2004

"Thank you for your help and advice! Being a person with a technical background, you have shown me some excellent ways to call out and balance the non-technical side of my career."

SA, IT Manager, Dover, DE, 2003

"Just wanted to say thanks for the help with the resume a few weeks ago. Everyone that I contacted gave me an interview. I know that my contacts around town helped but the resume was still a great document and a real help. I had 3 very good offers and accepted a position yesterday."

JQ, Senior Sales and General Management Executive, Miami, FL, 2003

"Looks Great! Responded to a couple of ads and got quick call back this a.m. This [resume] represents me very well and definitely allows me to shine on paper!"

CM, Senior IT Executive, Newark, NJ, 2003

"I will let you know how the search goes. I have really enjoyed working with you (Katie) and Sally. A professional team, you are. It's amazing how much more confident I feel especially, when I know I have a professional resume and cover letter behind my name. Thank you so much."

AL, Senior Sales, Marketing, and Operations, Portland, OR, 2002

"I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for the great job you did on my resume review. I could not believe how much more impressive the resume looked after adding your suggestions.

I will be starting my new job at the end of the week. While I cannot offer any definitive proof that the resume changes were the crucial difference, I can assure you that it certainly didn't hurt.

DH, Program/Project Manager, Columbia, SC, 2002

"OK, now I know I am not a writer. Your cover letter takes what I really do well and makes it sound glamorous.

JO, CIO, Chicago, IL, 2002

"Thanks for your help; the new resume worked great! I just accepted a VP Sales & Marketing position with a local company. "

RW, VP Sales & Marketing, Seattle, WA, 2002

"I submitted the finance resume to a contingency recruiter for a .... position. .....he said it was the best resume he has ever seen. Thought you would like that."

BD, Senior Finance Executive, Chicago, IL, 2002

"Thanks for all your help. The new resume looks great and I hope will break me through the first cut. I will let you know how the response goes. So far, I already have two meetings with local headhunters from the e-mailing! As long as the market keeps picking up it should be a good 2003."

RN, Senior Information Technology Executive, Tampa, FL, 2002

"You are the greatest! I'd say you are a doll but that would be sexist. I've enjoyed our e-mail correspondence tremendously and will dearly miss it.

Thanks for all your help. I only wish I had the opportunity to meet you and thank you personally for all your efforts. I know this is your job but you do it very well and you have been very helpful to me.

Thanks very much and may life be kind to you."

AP, IT Senior Consultant, Atlanta, GA, 2002

"I first want to apologize for not sending you a thank you note for your assistance in creating the resume that got me a job at the Big One of the Big Three, General Motors, but I have told everyone who ask about resumes that I had been searching for a job for a year and had you rewrite my resume and I was hired the next month...."

LD, Project Manager and Product Engineer, Detroit, MI, 2001 & 2002

"You certainly did weave your magic wand."

"Thanks for your effort, professionalism, and sense of humor -- I've learned a lot....I hope you have continued success -- you deserve it. You're the best and you're a Midwesterner & an Illini (that's a Univ. of Illinois thing), it shows in your worth ethics and integrity."

M.M., Senior Sales, Marketing, and Business Development Executive, San Clemente, California, 2001

"The interesting thing is that the position I applied for was not the one I interviewed for. The HR person knew of this need and called me. So there you have the value of your good work. Focus the resume to what you are really interested in and you might actually get it."

M.M., Vice President Special Projects, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 2001

"I have already found a job with the resume that you prepared for me. Please stop any further efforts on my part including the web resume and resume blasting. "

K.S., CEO, Ventura, California, 2001

"While I know you weren't a Scout, Boy Scout anyway, the elements of Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind and Cheerful all portray what you have represented to me and many others before me. Thank you.

I wish you a traditional Navy blessing of "fair winds and following seas!"

C.A., Project Manager, Arlington, Virginia, 2001

"You guys helped me with my resume and a cover letter. I have to say you all did an excellent job. Your resume helped me find a great job. I instantly got a lot of interviews and was able to pick and choose which one I'd like. Thank you."

A.P., Information Manager, Roanoke, VA, 2001

"Card enclosed with flowers: "Words at times are not expressive. Enjoy this token of appreciation."

C.D., President, Lowell, Massachusetts, 2001

"I truly hit the jackpot with you. You will never know how much all your help means to me. I would not have had a clue how to go about any of this. I will recommend you to my friends. You must be an angel."

S.B. Teacher, Fulton, New York, 2000

"I selected Advantage Resumes due to personal concerns expressed by you in e-mail contact. The resume you prepared for me is extremely professional and easy to read. When I need it updated you are the first one I will call."

C.H., Regional Sales Manager, St. Louis, Missouri, 2000

F.E., Controller, Los Angeles, California, 2000

"I found an ad online and thought they had written the ad based on my resume. I got an immediate interview. Thanks a million."

M.A., Purchasing Manager, Tampa, Florida, 1999

"Guess what??? I got the job. I start Tuesday, all thanks to your beautifully written resume. I will be working for a law firm in the D.C. area dealing with governors, mayors, senators and other legislators. It is my dream job. Thanks to you, I was able to negotiate a higher salary than the initial offer."

H.L., Paralegal, Boston, MA, 1999

"Before you wrote our daughter's resume she was getting absolutely no response to it. Once she started using your resume she had calls for interviews from Chicago, St. Louis, and school districts in-between. It reached a point that we considered taking the phone off the hook. The response to your resume was overwhelming. We cannot thank you enough."

K.& B. D., Parents of Spanish Major and Secondary Education minor, Bloomington, IL, 1999

"I never knew I could look so good on paper. You are a miracle worker."
