Testimonials and/or references:

“I am so very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with you this past summer. You transformed not only my resume but my entire approach to presenting myself to potential employers. My new resume and cover letter elicited a response from nearly every single prospect I sent it to.

Your encouragement and enthusiasm helped propel me through the slow phases of my job search search. Your wisdom and experience ensured I approached each interview well prepared and with my ‘best foot forward’.

I have recently accepted an exciting new position that takes my career to a whole new level. I am convinced I would never have had this opportunity without your tutelage. Working with you engenders a high degree of confidence in your astute advice, but perhaps most importantly, the strength of support that one would receive from a true friend. With sincere gratitude…" -- B. Preston, Sr. Director of Development and Fundraising, National Nonprofit

“After my first read of my resume and cover letter, I think you are a genius. Thank you so much for listening so well and drawing out my talents and experience. To get them on paper the way you do is truly a gift. You are the best Jeanne. Please know that I am in awe of your talent.” -- D. Paone, Business Development Executive
