Every word has value.

“I’ve got to tell you, I like the career portfolio [CV, CV addendum, and cover letter] a lot. I’m pleased with all of it. I like the structure. I like the way you broke the information up and used bullets, and I like your wording. The CV has impact from the first page. And I can see you really did your homework. I don’t know how you did it, but you worked it! Every word has value. Trying to do it myself was a fool’s errand.

The cover letter is also a really, really helpful tool that I will be able to build on for future applications. It sets out a structure and lets me know how and where to add information for different job applications.

And I already got great feedback from the retained recruiter. You did everything I needed and I’m in a really good place.”

Now I’m buying to myself.

“I feel so much more confident and empowered. I realize I have so much more to offer. I used to think that my employer controlled my career. It was safe there, and I had a lot of excuses not to develop my career, get new experiences, and new perspectives. I just bought into my employer’s party line. Now I’m buying to myself.”

I’ve had more recruiters looking at me on LinkedIn

“I initially thought I wouldn’t have anything to tell an employer, like I had nothing to offer. Now, I know this is a good exercise in general. The very first time we talked, you talked to me about paying more attention to the skills I’m gaining and not just the tasks. I had a really good call with a Major, Lindsey and Africa recruiter yesterday who found me in LinkedIn. Since I’ve been working with you, I’ve had more recruiters looking at me on LinkedIn than I ever had.”

grabs the reader

“I love the very first sentence of my LinkedIn profile summary. It just really grabs the reader. There are some really powerful ideas and language in there. I’ve been so anti-LinkedIn, and I appreciate you taking into account my desire for privacy. You clearly put a lot of thought into it. ​I’d had a bunch of questions, but you’ve addressed all of them. And you’ve really clarified my thinking. Your instructions for inputting the profile were straight-forward​ and your LinkedIn book was very helpful. Thank you for dragging me into the 21st century!”
