Hooking up with Michelle Dumas and Distinctive Documents three years ago was like adding rocket fuel to my career trajectory. I subsequently was promoted from senior writer to editorial creative director and then editor in chief with Muscle & Fitness, a major national fitness magazine. Concurrently, I also opened a series of new freelance writing accounts, including one with Men’s Health, the world’s largest men’s magazine, and signed three progressively more lucrative book deals, most recently with LL Cool J as my collaborator.

In every instance, the resume Michelle initially created for me, and the lasting impression it leaves, cracked open the door. It’s an amazing confidence builder to sit down for an interview with the CEO of a major American publishing company and have him look down and say, “Wow--that’s a really impressive resume.” And the fact that a professional writer turns to her for assistance tells you how good she is.

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that hiring Michelle was the best investment I’ve ever made in my career. I probably have been repaid 100-fold for what I spent.

Above and beyond the quality of Michelle’s work, the way she goes about doing it is a revelation. Her adherence to process, deadlines and quality control is so unyielding that I’ve been inspired to apply it to my own work as well. When she says something, she inevitably holds herself to it, which is rare these days.

In sum, to anyone looking for a resume consultant, I give Michelle Dumas the highest recommendation I can possibly give to another person: A+, five stars, you name it. You won’t be disappointed.

I wanted you to know that I was offered a position yesterday here in the XXXXX area at an excellent medical device/laser therapy equipment company.  I have accepted the position... Now that the search is over, I want you to know that I have had more responses to my resume in the last 3 months than at any other time in my career.  I have had multiple responses to cold call mailings.  (a ten fold increase over previous cold job searches)   Also the e-distribution you sent out netted me 1 phone interview per every 8-10 e-mail response.  Excellent!!  I am a faithful supporter of your work. Thanks again.
--J.W., Utah
The job search went well, and I have accepted a position with XXXX as an Executive Consultant. There is no doubt in my mind that the quality of my resume opened some doors. In addition to XXXX, I was a finalist for a CTO position at XXXXX, and I declined another offer from XXXX International. Only two things matter when trying to get your foot in the door: networking, and the quality of your resume...Feel free to use me as a reference at any time. Thank you.
--G.S., Michigan
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.  I will review your "custom tailored responses" and get back to you over the weekend.  Not only will I be more than happy to endorse your services, but I would welcome personal contact with anyone considering using your services.  As I am sure that you are aware, many people may feel skeptical about this type of service on line. I feel as though we have sat side by side at the same desk working on this project.  Your relationship with me has been extremely personal, specific, and customized to meet my needs and certainly exceed my expectations.  I can't thank you enough.
--L.P., Pennsylvania
I am extremely pleased and impressed with Michelle Dumas from Distinctive Documents. Michelle and her team merged all of my background documents, old resumes, and completed forms into an outstanding resume. However, she did much more. While absorbing all of my background information, she summarized all of my experience into one word, intrapreneur. That's impressive! Over the years, I have worked with some of the best writers, marketing, sales, and practice executives around the world. Michelle is definitely the best professional writer, I have ever engaged.
- S.S., Virginia
While I did not know quite what to expect and was further worried about the material you had to work with, I found my resume draft to be the brightest light in my week...as advertised, "Distinctive Documents". I have never seen any other medical resume so uniquely done. Thank-you. I am amazed that you were able to take some of my answers and create such a wonderful piece of work..I almost didn't recognize myself!!!
--D.G., Arizona
I was offered a position with XXXXXXXX as Senior Communications Associate...I just wanted to take the time to say thank you for all of your help. Your work is amazing!!! If there are any feedback forms or things you need me to complete, please don't hesitate to ask....I also shared your name with another colleague...I think your services can be of great assistance to him.
--G.G., Indiana
I just wanted to thank you very much for your help. The resume is great and I can't believe that I did not do it sooner. It is a night and day difference between my old and new resume. After I received the resume the response went from 1 in 10 [originally] to 9 in 10 [with new resume]. I have accepted a position with a large insurance company less than 4 wks after I received the resume. Again, thank you very much and I am sure that I will be back to update my resume.
--R.B., Ontario, Canada
Thank you for your services and the excellent resume you produced as a result. There is no question in my mind that this distinctive resume provided me with far more opportunities to talk to recruiters and principals than I would have had otherwise. More than once I heard recruiters say "I pick out two resumes from over 1000 internet responses and you were one of them."

Bottom line I achieved exactly what I was looking for: in terms of position, location, and income AND I had choices in terms of multiple offers. It all started by getting someone to notice my resume in with a thousand others.
--C.M., Indiana

Happy belated new year!  I hope that things are going well for you and all the gang at Distinctive Documents.  This note is to let you know that I’ve moved to Jacksonville where I have accepted a position with XXXX the title and escrow insurer.  As such, I’ve moved back into operations and although it’s early in the game, things appear to be going well. 

Michelle, et al., I want to thank you for your assistance during this last job search.  Fortunately, I was able to make the change quickly and to a familiar locale.  I’ve also referred a number of people to you as your resumes have always brought me luck.  I was only out of work for 6 weeks and everyone said I had one of the best resumes they have ever seen. 
--L.W., Florida

Last Monday I received a call from a low level recruiter that had read my old resume on the Institute of Packaging Engineers job site. She was looking for a candidate to fill a Packaging Engineer position that paid $60-$70,000 per year. I emailed her my new resume, the one you created, and immediately received a call from her boss. The boss was a much more savvy, high powered, recruiter. She had a much higher position in mind for me...The interview went very well. My second interview, this time with the CEO and the directors of the companies two current divisions is scheduled for this Wednesday...The position is for a Business Development Manager to start a new division. Once sales hit $4 million dollars the position will become the director of the division and expansion will begin in earnest. The salary for this position starts at $120,000 per year. I just can not thank you enough for the all the hard work you did to create such an outstanding resume and set of support letters. The recruiter received the recruiter letter and resume. The company received the resume and the thank you letter. Things are looking good to land the perfect job for my experience and aspirations.
--K.M., Missouri
My opportunity search is going reasonably well. I have had about 6 agencies submit me to about 10 openings. Half of those agencies I had not worked with previously and had to go interview with them to prove that I can dress myself correctly etc. All of them were pleased with the new resume. One just couldn't stop saying "wow".

Two of the agencies asked for info on where I had it done and I gave them the pertinent details. I believe they were interested in using your services for some of their clients vs having someone in house or local, especially after seeing the spectacular job you did on mine.

Of the 10 openings they submitted my resume to, I have had one two-hour interview (managers in a different city) and three company site interviews. I believe I have a good chance of receiving an offer from the last one I did of these on Friday.

In addition to the agencies, I have researched approximately 40 companies that looked interesting and submitted my resume directly to them via email (75%) and fax (25%). For handful that were especially interesting, I spent some extra effort on company research and customized the blind-submittal letter to target them and also found operations managers email addresses. Bypassed the HR department and careers@/jobs@ generic buckets. None of these direct contacts had a relevant position advertised on their website or any of the job boards . . . Of all of these, one of them has responded favorably and has given me two rounds of interviews thus far. They are in the process of drafting a contract offer, which I hope to see soon. This was a company that didn't even know they were in need of someone like me before my resume/letter came floating into their view. :-)

Very happy with the results thus far. I'll definitely keep plugging your services when appropriate in the future.
--T.M., Alberta, Canada

(Then several days later from above client)

Just dropping you a quick note to let you know that I have received the first contract draft for my new position. It will be a one year contract at a leading Canadian fixed-wireless internet service provider. Decent rate, decent people, interesting work all await me next week. This was a place that I had mentioned previously that didn't have any positions of this type advertised at all, and didn't consciously know they needed my help, before the wonderful new resume landed in front of them. I attribute my landing of this contract almost 100% to the super job you did on my resume. I had the raw materials, but you sure got them to "clean up nice" :-)
--T.M., Alberta, Canada

I am traveling to Utah and California for job interviews this week. I will let you know how it turns out next week. Resume is excellent!! Just look at results, 4 months on my own resume..zero calls...1 week with yours..going for interviews!!
--D.H., New Hampshire
I was a little hesitant to use your service because of the cost, but you have exceeded all of my expectations. I couldn't be happier with the results! I am so excited and proud to send out my resume. Thank you for offering a top-notch service! You're the best!
--P.C., Minnesota
I wanted to get back with you and let you know that on Friday, I accepted a job for which I am very excited. I will start December 2, 2002 as the Vice President, Sales and Marketing for a company called XXXXXXX. They provide full service packages for XXXXXXXXX. I will also be the business unit manager for a new business they will launch in the coming months. Their services are based on providing the very best and comprehensive service at very competitive prices. It is a great opportunity to leverage my last 10 years in college and university relations and youth marketing. It is also located right here in XXXXX, about four miles from my house! There will be some international travel (very exciting) but there won't be the heavy domestic travel that I've had for the last 7+ years.  And so I am now embarking on my first extended vacation since college.  This feels like such a luxury. I want to sincerely thank you for all of your help through this process. The resume that you created was absolutely critical in my landing this position. I had more than a half a dozen interviews within weeks of circulating my resume, was a finalist for three positions and was offered two positions.  The one that I accepted is without a doubt the best fit. I am truly thankful and feel very blessed to have had my search turn out this way. I hope all is well with you and I will continue to recommend your services very highly.
- S.K., Arizona
My background is a particularly difficult one to handle in a resume both due to my having multi-functional and multi-industry experience, and my having had 9 positions in 25 years, none of which could be eliminated due to my having started my career at the mid-management level after graduate school.  She can certainly do anyone's resume professionally and expertly, since she was able to write mine.  Her questionnaire took a great deal of time but was critical in enabling her to do her work well.  Perhaps the greatest compliment I can pay her is that before I hired her, I had just had my resume rewritten by another writer who has written a book on executive resumes, and that resume was not nearly the quality of her work, with an executive recruiter I know letting me know that her version was "MUCH better".  My only reluctance in providing this testimonial is that it will encourage others to utilize her services, decreasing my "edge" over other candidates by having a resume prepared by Ms. Dumas.
- M.M., New York
Your work is incredible. I thought I had a pretty good resume to start. But after reading these, I want to hire me because I know this guy can change the world. But based on his qualifications and achievements, I probably can't afford him!
- K.D., Wisconsin
I wanted to let you know that in an interview today (large project management/consulting firm), I was complemented on the quality of my resume.  The interviewer said it was one of the best he's seen.  I followed up with the "thank you for the interview letter" which, is excellent as well.  I thought you should know what an impact your work is making in my career search and I'm grateful that out of all the choices that I had, I selected your firm (and you). Anyway, it appears that I'm on my way, thanks to your ability to put my career and value proposition on 2 sheets of paper!
--K.O., Missouri
I am extremely pleased with the cover letter and resume you produced for me.  I have a very complex multi-faceted background that you were able to consolidate into a concise and very effective salable presentation of my skills.  The documents you produced were far better than my originals and I feel were more than worth the price I paid for them.  It was a pleasure working with you and I will be recommending you to my friends and associates.
--L.S., Texas
Sorry I haven't got back to you sooner. I have been busy interviewing. I am on the brink of an offer in Boston and Pittsburgh. Boston is the role I'm hoping for. It is a great role with a world leading paper manufacturing company. I believe the resume and cover letter you prepared was very helpful in my job search. It clearly was far better than what was proposed by xxxxxxxxx consultants - the outplacement firm that I was working with. I got a lot of attention from headhunters after the first wave of your blast e-mail. Many discussions but nothing that came from it -- mostly match issues. Thanks for your support and I will keep in touch.
- J.P., Pennsylvania
Michelle has a wonderful ability to pull lots of information into a concise, action-oriented resume. The first two people I sent mine to while networking both said WOW! I highly recommend her services.
- G.L., Illinois
I just want to take the time and thank you for your assistance. The quality of and sharpness of my resume has never been so good. Plus, the advice to improve my cover letter also helped tremendously. I saw an immediate impact with your resume, which led me to receive several job offers. I will recommend your services to anyone who needs help in putting a resume together, or those that think they have it together. It was an investment well worth it.
- N.H., California
Michelle Dumas' development of my resume resulted in an outstanding document. My first submittal to various contacts and executive recruiters resulted in six solid job opportunities within two weeks...... Nothing short of phenomenal. I believe the professional structure of my resume opened these doors. I highly endorse Distinctive Documents.
- J.G., California
I wanted to give you a heads up. I've passed your name onto a few friends and <name> and her husband <name> may contact you shortly for resume services. <Name> also has two girlfriends which may contact you also, but she can fill you in on that when she contacts you. I've also forwarded your information to <name> another of my colleagues here at <company>. Additionally, I've told <company> that I intend to leave and have signed a temporary contract with them through the end of the year. As part of my agreement to "hang around" to allow them to transition stuff over and find a replacement, they've provided executive outplacement services. I'm working with <outplacement firm> and <name>, my "career coach" may contact you also. He stated that he had never seen such a well phrased resume, and I told him how happy I had been with your services and turnaround. <Outplacement firm> does not have anyone as experienced as you in this area. Regarding my job search. I've received two offers and turned both down. A few other interviews, but nothing I wanted to pursue. I took the summer off the job search and intend to re-enter the market at the end of this week or next with hopes of finding a job no earlier than January or preferably June/July. I have some plans to travel, relax, enjoy life, etc. while I still have no solid ties or obligations. I'll let you know how things go.
- M.V., Connecticut
This is just a short note to let you know that I have been offered the position of Director of Educational and Administrative Technology for the XXXX XXXX XXXX...Feedback from some of the members of the selection committee revealed that they were "blown away" by the resume. Actually, they only had me in for a single interview. This leads me to believe that this particular employer took great credence on the ability of the resume to communicate in my absence. I consider your work very instrumental in both the success of landing the job, and in the ability to successfully assert a salary requirement that is significantly higher for this particular area of the country...You can be sure that you are a permanent part of my electronic rolodex. If anyone ever needs a top-quality resume, you can be sure that your name will be mentioned.
- M.Z., New York
Thought you'd like to know that I've just accepted a new position and am happy as can be. You should know that I began my search in earnest in the beginning of November and my success rate in getting calls from the companies whose postings (Monster and HeadHunter) I responded to was nothing short of phenomenal. Thanks a million Michelle for getting me noticed.
- E.S., Washington, D.C.
The job search has ramped up into high gear since I starting using the resume you prepared for me. I interviewed today for a position as a Property Accountant with a real estate management company.  My "skill set" was a great match with what they were looking for, so thanks for your efforts.  I feel confident I will be offered the position. Thanks again, I'll keep you posted.
--M.M., New Hampshire
I wanted to thank you for your efforts with my resume and mailing. Several days after the Internet mailing was sent, I received a call from a fantastic company. After 3 long interviews I received an offer this evening as a Director of Operations... I will be a Vice President within a year! It's public and offered a +90K salary plus with Equity. Thank you for doing a fantastic job. Keep in touch! I will update my background with you every so often.
- B.G., New Jersey
I am so pleased with the quality of your work and the service received that I have already passed your name and website address to several people!! It is amazing and quite impressive to me how you so easily interpret a couple of sentences in a profile and turn it into a professional document that articulates and describes my roles and responsibilities to a tee! Very rarely do I encounter such great customer service and response times to inquiries...that alone sold me on your services. I will continue working with you for as long as you stay in business or until I retire from working! Again, thanks so much on a great job...I'll keep you posted on my job search success.
- E.D., Maryland
Thank you for the new resume and cover letter. The resume is the best resume I have read! That includes all the candidates I have interviewed over the past ten years...I am impressed with your work. I was fortunate to find you on the Internet and pleased that I called you. You have enhanced my resume. It is like night and day. Thank you very much.
- B.L., New Jersey
've been so busy with my job hunt, I haven't been able to write you! I've gotten responses from many recruiters and most of them mention how great my resume is. Eli Lilly is supposedly very interested in me right now, but I haven't heard from them. I had a rep recommend me for a position with them. Otherwise, I'm interviewing with a biotech company for a great sales position and I'm going through the process with Abbott, Merck and AstraZeneca. I actually received the call out of the blue from a district manager with AstraZeneca last night. He was looking over my resume because he just had a position open up in his territory and he wanted to talk with me. We connected this afternoon and he invited me to interview with them on Friday! ... I've had a lot of people ask me about my resume and I belong to many bulletin boards and discussion groups for pharmaceutical sales wanna-be's. Many people ask for resume advice and tips. I always point them your way! I'm so glad I picked you. I just can't say enough about what a wonderful job you did on both my resume and cover letter. My husband is definitely going to ask you to do his resume once I get a position. I hope some of these other people take my advice as well, it will make their job search so much easier!! Thanks again, really. I'll let you know when I land my position!

...then a couple of months later, L.C. wrote again to say:

I just wanted to send you a quick update.  Everyone was definitely impressed and dazzled by the resume you created for me!  Since I started my search, I've seen dozens of other sales resumes and yours left them ALL in the dust!  Some of them were even professionally designed and I really can't believe how little they got for their money. Although I did receive offers from pharma companies, I finally accepted an offer from a medical device company!  I'm now a medical sales consultant and I LOVE my new career!  I want to thank you again for helping me get my foot in the door with landing interviews and for all of the stress you took off my shoulders by taking my resume on.  Now that I have my dream job, my husband will definitely be contact you SOON!
- L.C., Rhode Island

I just wanted to personally thank you for the incredible resume you prepared for me! Yesterday, I sent a resume to a company via email and I had a response waiting for me first thing this morning. When I first saw this in my inbox, I thought it was going to be a quick note indicating they received my resume, etc. This was not the case. The recruiter was pleased and wanted to set up a time for a phone interview and asked me to answer some basic questions. This is the first time I sent out my new resume and I received an immediate response. It takes alot for me to be satisfied and be able to respect individual's work. Needless to say, you have my utmost respect and I am extremely pleased! This was the best thing I could have ever done to enhance my career. Thank you once again!
- K.W., Ohio
I just want to compliment you again on the fabulous service you provide. I am sure your new offerings will bring you even greater success. I am so glad I found you. I looked at other resume preparation services but yours was definitely the most compelling. Everyone I have shown my resume to is very impressed. I have given them your name and website (along with a glowing recommendation of course). I really can't thank you enough. I am very excited about the possibilities that await me. I guess I never realized the number of skills I have and things that I have accomplished until you organized them so coherently.
- S.S., New Jersey
Michelle, I just wanted you to know that a recruiter commented positively on my resume today...she said the body of the resume was impeccable, the best she has seen in a long time.
- P.H., New Hampshire
Thank you so much for all the work you have done! Frankly, I dreaded the prospect of writing my resume initially. I hit upon the idea of finding someone else to do it and that process was no picnic either, til I found you! You have made this whole process so easy and pleasant. When I got the first draft of my resume I thought, "She must have sent me the wrong resume...who is this person?!". When I found my name and realized that the jobs and experiences were indeed mine, WOW was I amazed! That was the best money I ever spent! Here we are a year later with an update, and yet another excellent job. As much as I dislike changing jobs at least I know that the resume writing will no longer be an issue, I have you! Thanks again.
- J.C., Washington
I have been waiting before writing to give you the great news...I applied to about eight recruitment agencies with my resume attached, all on the Internet. Within a few days I was contacted and asked to go for an interview at a company only 35 miles away. It is 3.5 years old and sells consultancy at a very senior level in large corporations...This week I received the offer letter...What has become very clear in this process is the incredible value of a good resume. Because you made it abundantly clear what I had achieved through a "messy" but interesting career path, this recruitment agency was immediately able to connect my past experience with the vacancy they knew needed me. I did not need to explain the details of my past but rather was able to continually point out where my past benefited or suited the vacancy being offered. It meant that I was able to concentrate on selling myself rather than explaining myself away...So, to say thank you seems so inadequate. But say it, I will. Thank you for doing such a good job. I have to say I did not think I would find another job at my age, but with a combination of good luck and a good resume, I made it....Initially I thought your service was expensive, but given the results, no one could complain. Thank you again.
- P.B., United Kingdom
Michelle was very friendly and extremely professional. After she completed my resume I sent out only two resumes and actually received both interviews! I accepted one of these positions at an annual salary $12,000 higher than I was receiving previously...
- J.V., New Hampshire
I am more than pleased with my new resume! It is creative, eye-catching and captures my strengths and experiences. I am also impressed with your ability to be flexible with various ways to communicate with me throughout the process. Part of my reservation with updating my resume previously was that it would be difficult and time consuming. It wasn't and the end result was wonderful!
- C.R., Maryland
I have spent hours on the final draft that you sent, I also showed it to a dear friend and mentor who has seen 100X more resumes than I and hired and fired more high level execs than I will ever know, she was quite impressed!
...Although we have never met you and I are the team that will insure that my family is taken care of. All of this to say that I am extremely pleased with the final product! I have been too close to see how truly efficient and functional the document is. You fit a tremendous amount of "stuff" in a pretty concise package. The biggest problem with writing your own resume is objectivity, when to include something and when to leave it out, it should be easy (if I'm as good as the resume makes me sound), but it is very difficult. I learned a long time ago that all business is basically the same, but as humans we think that just because we are unique, our situations are unique and no one else can understand what we do, have done and/or need in business. You delivered a product that proves that you too have that understanding but more importantly know how to make us feel and look as unique as we are. The resume is outstanding, type style, layout, conciseness and its packed with good quality writing. I am very pleased. Our exchanges have been lively, thought provoking and insightful, I'm glad you are my side! Again thanks for everything, you will get referrals, and if its okay I will keep you posted on my success.
- C.O., Nevada
Michelle I was so right in choosing you as the author of my resume. I am incredibly pleased, no... more than that, blown away with your artistry and skill. It was always my objective to look this good on paper... why, I'd even hire me based on this presentation.
-G.G., New Jersey
My overall impression of your service is outstanding. Your staff was friendly, the service prompt, and the resume quality was excellent. I mailed out four resumes and was invited for four interviews. One of my interviewers, the one whose offer I did accept, said that this was the best put together resume that he had ever seen...
- D.R., Michigan
Michelle, It has been a pleasure to work with you on this project. I will be sure to recommend your services to my associates. I sought out someone like you to be able to put down on paper my experiences and you certainly delivered. It is funny how I could not have put my own life on paper better than someone who has not even met me face to face. Thanks a million.
- O.G., Florida
This is a response to your query concerning the value of your service. The first thing I have to say is the reason it has taken a while to respond is due to your service. The response has been great. I have received many confirmations, phone calls and have set interviews as a direct result. I have also recomended your service to a friend who is in a job search. As for ease of use - it could not be any easier. I recommend your service to any one.
- B.G., Ohio
After the initial shock of your wonderful work, I seriously looked at my cover letter. I believe it to be in great shape...I thank you for your assistance. I am quite impressed with what you have done. I honestly feel you have captured the essence of what I wanted to accomplish with a cover letter. Regardless of me getting this job, I want you to know, what may seem a small amount of work for you has left me proud of my own abilities. In addition, I would like to thank you for the suggestions you have made for my resume. I WILL put them to use.
- W.K., Virginia
I can’t believe how many people called me this morning non-stop...Thanks a million, and your way is very effective. I got a lot of people interested in my background and my experience. You are the best!
- E.C., California
I give Michelle my highest recommendations. Yes it may seem like a lot of money to invest but the difference can be made up on your first paycheck in your new career. It is my personal experience that you get "more than you pay for" with the quality Michelle provides...
- J.P., Texas
I saw the revisions. Excellent!! I do appreciate your fine service and quick response to place my resume on the internet. I will definitely refer friends to your site and services. It is appreciated and professional.
- J.L., Arizona
I took a look at your draft and I love it! I knew that if I had somebody write it for me it would be much better than what I could do... Thanks for your help, I look forward to hearing from you and FYI I'm telling my friends about you so look for more business from Texas.
-D.N, Texas
It is so rare to find someone who does such great work, is so professional, and is so accomodating. Just wanted you to know how much I enjoy working with you.
-J.F., Illinois
I am so delighted with my resume. You did a fantastic job and I am proud to present it to people. Thanks for that.
-M.E., California
You're awesome! Due to my new resume I actually see myself as qualified and marketable. Now let's see if I can put it into action. Thanks so much Michelle.
-A.M., Illinois
Hi Michelle! I'm very, very pleased with this document! It's accurate and very-well stated. This is truly a "Distinctive Document" as promised"! This is exactly the resume that I wanted! Now I know why your organization is the first hit on the internet when searching for a resume writer. I think the reason why it has taken me so long to complete this project is because subconscientiously I've enjoyed the collaboration . Combined with my sense of trust since our first phone conversation, and your professionalism has been very comforting. Just wanted a minute to say what I really feel. Thanks!
-C.M., Germany
Michelle, I sent the new resume to my references and some friends who have been supporting my search. And the reactions so far is: wonderful, impressive, wow, wonderful, very professional, here comes 10 superjobs! I thought you would appreciate hearing these reactions to your work!! Thank you!
-C.C., New York
Thanks for the early delivery. I'll take it with me to Singapore. Based on a quick read I would say you are a magician. Thanks again.
-R.V., Malaysia
I am very pleased indeed with the results you've produced on my behalf, Michelle. One of my former business associates, whose judgment I generally regard as excellent, said that the resume "hits a home run"! I am in fact in the process of scheduling an interview with a large Wall Street firm that, after reviewing my resume, apparently concurs with this assessment.
--G.O., New Jersey
Well, you did it again. I got the job at xxxxxx as the Budget Manager. With the cover letter and the resume that you provided for me I could not go wrong. We make a great team. Thank you. I am passing on your information to my coworkers who hope to use your services. Thank you!
--S.F., Maryland
I would to thank you for the outstanding work you have done on my executive resume and cover letter. Both documents are perfect... In the future I don’t need to look to another company for updating my resume. I will only use the services of your company. The whole resume writing service is beyond comparison. I have never seeing such outstanding work, very friendly but high quality service.
--V.M., Greece
I got this comment from an executive search firm that we are discussing an opportunity...“By the way, you have one of the sharpest resumes I’ve seen! The design is very professional and readable.”
--S.Z., Massachusetts
I want to let you know that today I am accepting a job offer that matches virtually every desired element of my search. There is no doubt in my mind that the service you provided in the course of my resume project made this great success possible. Please accept my deepest thanks and sincere appreciation for a job very well done.

...I am pleased to let you know that I found a job I want successfully. I am now with XXXX as their Chief Operating Officer responsible for Wordwide Operations. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for your professional services and I would strongly recommend you to others who might be in need of your services. Attached is my new business card for your information.
--O.Y., Oregon
Great news ! After not much success with my job search  I had your company rewrite my resume.  Immediately after I received my resume from you I started to get interviews.  Sometimes up to 3 different companies a week. After only 4 weeks of interviewing  I am delighted to tell you today I  have received a job offer for a  wonderful job. Not only is a great company and location it is also a pay increase of 28%. I did the math and the cost of my resume has only 1% of my pay increase.  The Human Resource Manager said that she literally received hundreds of resume and mine stood out among all of them.  Thanks so much.
--M.B., New Hampshire
I want to thank you with all the effort you have done ! I have found already some companies which are like to have me and they want to employ me here in my favorite Country. I know, that the key was also the work you did, brushing up my career on paper and make it in a way I would never be able to. Again, thank you so much ! Receive my best Regards and I will stay in touch with you. Maybe some day I will need your help again if I would come to the US.
--I.H., Hong Kong
I have already said thank you and in fact, I do not have the proper words in my vocabulary to express what I feel for your product. My resume is something out of this world!  I also mentioned to XXXX that my daughter and I (here in RSA) have never yet seen such quality, the quality that is included in your end product. Yes indeed, I am more than grateful for what you did for me. I have already shown it to a number of people in this country; people who are planning moves to the USA. Your website, your name, your numbers are all readily being tossed around here, and I hope these people will soon be contacting you and your company. Thank you once again for a super superior resume!
--J.S, South Africa
