Hello Doris!  I finally had time to thoroughly review my resume.  To confirm my first impression, it is outstanding and I'm very satisfied with the end result.  Thanks so much for working this for me and for producing such a wonderful resume.  I'm sure it will help me get my foot in the door for interviews.  I will certainly contact you if / when I need your services again. And I will certainly recommend you to my friends/associates. 
Thanks again for such a great job.

Doris,

I got a great job!  I have accepted a position at home with Raytheon.  I honestly believe that the wonderful resume you put together for me got my foot in the door for this job and I appreciate it so very much.

I have referred you to several KBR employees and I expect that you will be hearing from them in the not so distant future.

Doris you did a GREAT job.  There were just two changes I believe I made on it.  I will attach it back to you, but I can certainly make those changes myself.  WOW I sure think I would be a GREAT catch for someone - I just hope they can get past my age but you did a GREAT job of diminishing that as well.  It has been wonderful working with you and I would recommend you to anyone looking to update their resume.  Thanks again, Kathie  : )

Doris:
Thank you so much for coming to the 440th.  Your presentation was filled with helpful advice, especially since many of our people have not been in the job market for many years.  The evaluations as well as comments I have heard indicate the appreciation of our people for your service.  They are anxious to see your comments on their resumes. Again I thank you so much.

Hi Doris,
I have a new job! I completed my first week. It was the only job I applied for and I got it within 2 weeks. Thank you for putting together my resume with the right mix of business and community service accomplishments.  I also love your approach to gathering information--allowing me to just talk about my work experience, while you pulled out the pertinent information. This also gave me the opportunity to refresh my memory, which I believe allowed me to organize my thoughts for a better interview.
I love my job. Thanks again for your support!

It looks great. I really like the way you organized and broke up the different sections....I think this is what I've been trying to achieve, but never have.

September, 2003
After reading your article on Milwaukeejobs.com on 9/19/03 I felt renewed for myself and all other out-of-jobbers.

At 55 and permanently LAID OFF from a professional position, I know all to (sic) well the emotional fender-bender that can result. For me, the most valuable and reassuring part of your article is to suggest that being fired = blessing in disguise. A thought that occurs to most but one which is not seriously considered by many.

Patents of an idea or product often seem totally obvious-after the fact. So too must this idea (blessing in disguise) be brought to the surface of the mind's eye before one can wake up and for the first time in there (sic) life realize that they can shape there (sic) own destiny-the way they want rather than just run scared and leap at the first crumb that comes there (sic) way!

What a novel idea, do something YOU really WANT to Do.

For myself and all job seekers out there, thanks Doris.

I can only express my feelings when I had Doris re-do my time-worn resume. Those feelings were of elation and excitement at seeing my past put down on paper so perfectly. Doris was able to capture my personal and professional personality to the letter. --B. Martin
