Testimonials

"Ellen replaced my old tired resume with a new fresh one. When looking for assistance with resume writing, I wanted someone who truly understands the job market and what it takes to get an employer’s attention. Ellen is that person. I have tried others, but always felt that there was no personal connection; I felt more like a number. Ellen offered a truly unique service because she partnered with an experienced executive recruiter and the two of them took the time to get to know me personally along with my career goals. They make a perfect team and with their help, I realized important accomplishments that I had forgotten or downplayed in my original resume. Their personal approach is phenomenal and they guarantee customer satisfaction. The turnaround time was amazing; I had a new tailor-made resume in about a week. Ellen’s rates are very reasonable and the results exceeded my expectations.”

Senior HR Director

"Ellen and Gary’s method of resume building enabled me to create the best positioning of my background and experience. Their technique is to get the candidate to think like the prospective employer, and then write the resume from that new perspective. They are thorough and creative and the end product was a substantial improvement over the original resume. The new resume increased the level of interest generated by potential employers."

Vice President, Finance

"Ellen and Gary really made me think about exactly what I wanted to convey on my resume to potential employers. They made me think outside the box, telling a story of my success and experience, rather than just recite my accomplishments. They seemed very experienced so my trust in making decisions about representing my career and job history was never an issue. They handled the process very professionally and seriously, and asked a lot of "why?" questions about certain experiences and successes that I listed. This enabled me to more effectively communicate the message I was trying to convey. I feel my resume speaks to the potential employer and tells a story of my career history and accomplishments, while outlining how I was able to achieve success. It almost speaks for me and sells me in advance so the employer knows me before meeting me.”

National Sales Manager

"Ellen and Gary’s real value was as strategic advisors who helped me think about my business experience in new and different ways. Rather than simply offer a few general comments, which frankly is the norm, they probed my background, bringing to bear what is a long and deep background in business at senior executive levels. They knew the right questions to ask, and through our give-and-take, we were able to develop a resume that was far different and more effective than any I had been able to conceive on my own. For me, this really was the crucial first step in thinking about my experience, my career, and how and when I should take my next step. I highly recommend their service."

Vice President, Corporate Communications

"As a communications professional, I was pretty sure my resume was great, but had not been landing many interviews, so I decided to take a fresh approach and let Ellen and Gary weigh in. They helped me understand that while my resume was well-written, it didn't necessarily highlight the right things. They made helpful suggestions and shared insights that made me think about my experiences differently, which ultimately led to describing them differently on paper. Previously, I had a list of jobs, activities and duties; now it's more of a description of how I got results. Overall, my new resume does a better job "selling" my background and I'm hopeful that it will also sell me to a new employer very soon!"
