It presicely discribes me..... I want to say many thank you's. At first i was scared because it is not easy to dish out 500 plus dollars in a two page paper, but it was all woth it...can i ask you a question, do you think I should be looking for a job now or wait until Thankgiving is over? Or does it really matter.... Anyway you are verrrrryyyyy gifted individual and may the good lord keep safe..... Have a great holiday. Thank you, Christine S. Hi Ilona, Sorry it's taken me sometime to persue everything and get back to you. I feel really good about the revamp you did for my resume. I felt like I was in that awkward place between right our of school/entry level and growing professional and think you did good with the look and feel of both the resume and cover letter to portray a more sophisticated professional. Claudia C. Hi Ilona, I appreciate the effort that you have put in to write a resume for me. Thank you for your support. As pleased as I am with the resume, I would like your services for a cover letter as well. Regards, Robert C. Ilona: Thank you for the draft resume. I am pleased with the creative style used in capturing my professional life. Truly, you are a gifted writer. I have proof-read the resume and all is in order except for: the word "claims and made". The word is "claims-made" policies. You are correct, I am not interested in storage of the document. I Look forward to receipt of the finalized version of the resume. Thanks, Martin M. Peter, I wanted to tell you what a great job Kelley Smith did on rewriting my resume. It might be worth giving you a bit of history as to how I reached the point of looking for help on my resume. I decided to search Google one day for resume writing services and came across Career-Resumes.com. I submitted my resume and was called the next day by Jane Quick to give me a critique of my current resume as well as a quote to reconstruct my resume. I have to tell you that while I was impressed with Jane, the quote seemed like it was a lot to pay for a service that on the surface might or might not be beneficial to my job search. I can tell you that Kelley did a great job and in the end I feel as if the value I received was far greater than what I paid (but please don’t take that as an approval to bill me more!). I have already gotten very positive comments from a couple of recruiters and other professionals that I have shared my resume with. I had never gotten comments before except for asking why I changed jobs so frequently during a short period. I would recommend this service to anyone I know who is trying to market themselves for other employment opportunities and I would especially recommend Kelley. She really took my thoughts and articulated them much better than I could have imagined. I just thought you would want to know when someone in your organization does an outstanding job. Patrick M. Peter, I have reduced my concerns to a single complaint: I am not a good one to toot my own horn. Try resolving this when I tell you that I own two pipe organs, probably over 1,000 horns! The cover letter and resume done by Sherri Morgan seem powerful. They capture my achievements and do so without exaggeration. I can identify my current and past efforts in the documents. So, well done. I passed some minor suggestions back to Sherri and I would like to move forward. One item we spoke of was a bio for obtaining director positions. I would like to explore others. Craig S. Peter, Jeanie did a great job! I’d like to take you up on resume storage and a cover letter please. How shall we precede? Jason S. Hi Christine Thought I would end your week on a happy note! I just did the email campaign and web posting with Yaron and he is very very happy with his resume and the service we have provided. He said he is referring some of his senior colleagues to me to have their resume done. I will send them your way if they do buy! Have a great weekend! Jane Q. Ilona, I have read and proof read both attached documents. You have done an outstanding job and I am extremely pleased. There are a few changes such as changing the font to Garamond, centering my name and information at the top of the page and I am requesting that the line under my name for all pages be removed. All changes and questions noted have been highlighted and answered. Please let me know if there are any questions or you need further assistance. Again, thanks so much! Sandy M.R. Hi, Ilona, I've given the resume you've sent a cursory review, and will be sending you changes. I think it's much better than my old version, so thank you for that! David A. Jeanie, This resume looks great. I have made some minor changes. I numbered the top list indicating my order of preference for those catch phrases, I do not want them numbered. My number is a suggestion and if you have any thoughts please incorporate yours. You are the expert here. I have made a few suggestions but if you don't agree, then go with your thoughts. At this point I do not need a cover letter. Actually I need information on services and costs that the company provides after the resume is complete. I did speak with Peter some time ago about these but have since forgot most of that conversation. If you do not have that information then please let me know who does. I appreciate the help. Michael R. Jeanie, I made a few changes but make sure you got them and we are good to go. Thanks for the help. Great work! Sincerely, Dave G. Hi Ilona, I finally had my interview with F. Lee Bailey. The feedback was quite favorable. Mr. Bailey was impressed with the resume. I have to take a test after an online course. I have begun and it is going well. If I do well on the remainder of the testing I will have a second and final interview. In the meantime I had another interview with a financial services company and am pretty certain I will be offered a position tomorrow, with the understanding that if the VP position with Bailey becomes a reality, taking the position will be fine with the other company. Thanks again for a wonderful job. Clearly your efforts were a good investment in my future. I will be happy to write a testimonial if it would be of help. Sincerely, Dan G. Good Afternoon Ilona; My apologies for the delay in getting this back to you. It seems that I went to bed last night and when I woke up this morning, half the year had gone by. Anyhow, I have attached my resume and have notated comments on the document itself. It looks really good, I will have to hire myself! Thank you. There were also several questions that you had asked me about in your initial email. I have responded to them within your email that I have attached below. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. The cover letter looks great! Thank you again for all your help! Could you provide me with a current price listing of the other services you offer? Thanks, Jeff D. Denise, Kelley Smith completed my resume and I really like the job that she did. You mentioned that you might be able to assist with next steps in a career search. Would you be available to discuss this with me sometime on Tuesday, next week? Let me know. I attached my new resume, just in case you had not seen it yet. Best regards, Ted D. Hi, Ilona. Got the resume, but my internet server was down yesterday. Thank you for all of your hard work. ...... ........ I have enjoyed working with you! Mary L. Ilona, First, thank you for doing such a great job. As I read over what you've prepared, I realize that I wouldn't have been able to do this on my own. I've made notes onto the document itself. As well I've made some notes for clarification. Tracy H. Hi Ilona, I have reviewed the resume and cover letter and they are great. I have made suggested changes in red and in green are statements that I am not 100% sold on. Thanks again, you are a wonderful writer. I will call you at 8:00 am my time and11:00 am your time to review. Shelly D. Thanks Rosie, The resume looks great. It is exciting to see all of my experience and qualifications presented in such a striking and attractive package. Steve G. Dear Donna - I can't thank you enough for your input and regardless of how this opportunity works out, I will always appreciate your kindness and support. Warmest Regards, Peter W. Hi Jane, I was very happy with the resume Donna Allen put together for me. She didn't have much to work with and ended up doing a great job. I'm writing you today because I would like to have Career Resumes provide me with a cover letter and then, in the future, possibly take advantage of the other resources you offer. Please feel free to contact me. Thank you. Patty K. Ilona, You've done a great job on my resume. Here are my corrections and edit. I hope I didn't make a mess of the document. Also, I am going to Japan on Nov. 4th for two weeks. I will be back on the 17th. I'm not sure what are time frame is but I don't imagine I'll have any thing to add after this go through. But let me know what the next step is. Thanks H. Tracy Hi, Ilona. I received the resume this morning. I have read it and really like the format. I appreciate all of your hard work. Mary H. Ilona, Thanks for all your help - and the encouragement. I'm really glad I got a hold of you - you've given me a great starting point! Thanks again, Jason W. Ilona, I’ve taken a quick look at the documents and they look really good. I’ve answered some of your questions in the body of the resume and asked a couple of questions as well. I thought that I had done a pretty good job writing my own resume but what you’ve done is 100 times better. I guess that’s why you do it for a living! Thanks, Rick A. Hi Jeanie did a fine job on my CV and it certainly looks a lot better now. Thank you for your assistance. Best regards, Erik K. Ilona, Thanks for resume. I really like it. I made a couple small changes and tracked them. Please take a look and see that you think they make sense. ........... Generally, I am really happy with it. Thanks again. ........... Joe L. Hi Peter, The resume that Dan wrote worked. I posted it on Dice on Monday night and Tuesday morning received a call from a consultant firm. they hired me for a long term project, at higher then my normal billable rate, plus expenses. I could not believe that the resume worked in less then 12 hours. I am recommending you all around, so I expect you will be getting some calls. Thank you, Chris Howell Ilona, You did a great job-thanks! I feel much better about myself. I made some changes in a couple of lines. I moved one line from E.F. Mahon up to Motophoto. My rambling on the phone must have been confusing. I answered the questions. Most of the changes are highlighted or have strikethrough. This is a huge relief. Thank you so much for your help. I look forward to seeing the final. Get some rest!!! Dan G. Hi Dan, I am not sure if you received this when I sent it to you on Oct 8. Anyway, could you please make these changes and forward the changed resume to me. I made the changes on my copy. I then posted it on Dice and the next day I landed a long term contract for big money. The recruiter for the consulting company that hired me said that this is the easiest, most professional resume he has ever seen. Thank you, Chris H. Dear Ilona: After carefully reading my new and improved resume, I feel that it was written very professional and at the same time, captures my work expereince beautifully. I want to thank you for all your help in this process. Thanks for eveything and I will keep you in my address book for future recomendations and writting services. Sincerely, Manuel M. Good Morning Ilona, Everything looks great! I have one question; I have always heard that your resume should be one page is there any truth to that? Other than that I am very happy with the resume. Thank you again it has been great working with you. Rgrds, Steve M. Denise, Jeanie and I have pretty much finished the resume, it looks about 100 times better than my original. I was curious about what types of resume distribution services you offer that you mentioned in your earlier email. I would like to know more about this service. Please either call me or email me with some specifics on this. Thanks in advance for your help. John M. Thank you Ilona. It looks great. I made the changes they are high lighted in red. I look forward to seeing the final resume. Thanks again, Steve M. Ilona, It looks wonderful. You did a fantastic job. Thank you very much. Linda B. Hello Donna, I have recieved the resume and cover letter, which I am in the process of reviewing and making just a few corrections. All in all, I have to say I'm very impressed with the resume in general! I'd hire me. :) Sean S. Ilona Thanks! So far you are my favorite resume writer (don't let my aunt who wrote one when I was trying to get a summer job in high school hear about this). If I get the job I want with this one I am going to write not just an outstanding review but also I will be completely vindicated with my "doubting thomas" friends and will make the job hunting fools use you folks! Thanks again for your help. Steve F. Donna, You are an artist! Upon reading your draft this morning my wife observed that you have transformed me into the "car god." I will proof the document and return it today. There may be a question or two that requires us to have a brief telephone conversation. Again, Thank you for your professionalism. Best Regards, Mike A. Hello Ilona, I have reviewed the resume and it looked really good. Its all about word smithing isnt it! I have used the tracking function to make the changes and attached it to this document. I didn;t have any trouble with the formatting so hopefully it comes back to you in one piece as well. Please let me know your thoughts. Nichole A. Hi Donna, It looks and sounds amazing! Thank you so much! At first glance, I didn't notice a couple of minor things that need to be changed. I will review it more closely this week and get back to you on Monday. (I'm going out of town and Monday is the soonest I can get back to you.) Thanks again. Patty K. Donna, You are a pleasure to work with. Thank you for taking such excellent care of my paper work. Great meeting today. We should be close. Look forward to reading the 2 C/L options , then seeing the near final draft. You are the BEST! Tim H. P.S. (to Jane - she is very good!) Hi Jeanie: Attached is your draft of my resume that includes my comments. I just named it versions 1.0 so that I won’t confuse documents. I think it is a great improvement. In fact, I found a job on Monster.com this morning that I think is a perfect match for my background and skills. I would greatly appreciate it if you could edit my opening summary to focus on this position. Again, thanks for the great work. Hopefully, it will help me secure an interview for this position. Mary Ann M. Hello Christine, Please see enclosed suggested resume revisions for your review. I was very pleased with the draft resume in which my professional experience is presented in a concise manner. If you would please let me know when I can expect the final version. I am very anxious to distribute to prospective employers. Thank you for your help in this matter. Sincerely, Nat B. Hi Jeanie, I have one small change at the very end of page Once that change is made am I free to use the material? I am very pleased with your work and will recommend to people that they use your services. Thank You, Rich M. Ilona, I thank you for all of your help. Other than the comments above, the draft looks fine. I still can't believe the difference you made in my resume. You are truly amazing. Phillip Ilona, Is this me? I can't believe the difference between what I first sent your company and this version. I actually had to put it down after reading the first paragraph I was so embarassed. Thank you, Phillip M. Ilona, Thank you for your expertise and the resume looks great. Ian P. Hi Donna! I received your e-mail and just at first glance, my resume looks amazing! Thanks so much for your hard work. I will review it carefully and let you know if there is anything I want you to add. Thanks again, Harriet K. Ilona, Awesome!! OK now we can text convert it... now what exactly does that do in application to sending out my resume? Michelle L. Hi Jeanie, The new resume looks great! I am reviewing it now and will have a few edits. I will e-mail you my edits in the morning. Best Regards, Rich M. Jean -- Nice work. I've attached a Word doc with a few revisions and comments. Vance K. Hi Jean: Thanks--this is good stuff. Most of it is right on the money (or darn close ). Yes, I would like a draft/template built for use in a cover letter. Thanks again. Catherine D. Hi Jean, I am just starting my recruiting and I have had excellent response to the resume you prepared for me. I think now it’s time to add a cover letter. Please let me know if you can take care of for me. Regards, Jim H. Ms. St. Julian, I appreciate all of your help. I was offered a new job on yesterday with Defense Intelligence Agency. My new resume helped me get noticed. Thanks! Solina J. Ilona, The process was alot quicker for my reviews, then expected. Please note the additions in red are only suggestion of information you could add... not necessary changes. Thank you so very much, you are doing an awesome job. Let me know, Michelle L. You got it, Donna. I like the document, I will review it carefully tomorrow morning, but on my first reading you really got it. Well, I am really positively surprised with your speed and work. Great job thanks! Julio G. Jane, Thanks to you and Rosie! A quick glance of the resume and it looks great. I may request some minor change in the "highlights". I look forward to start using it right away. I'm sure it will help in my search. I'll be in touch next week. Bill M. Ilona, I have reviewed the resume draft and filled in where info was needed. I am very pleased with the draft. I appreciate all your hard work. I will await to see if you have any more refinements. If you need to please do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks Again, Shane R. Peter, Thank you . I apologize for being so late in getting back to you. Christine did a wonderful job on my resume. Heck I'd hire me. David M. Ilona, Hi, this is David Orr you wrote my resume for me this summer. I just wanted to write you an e-mail to thank you again for doing such a wonderful job with it. I have been flooded with job offers and interviews. I would recommend to anyone having you assist them with their resume etc. Again thank you! you've really helped me showcase my business talents. David Hi Donna, I am so impressed with this draft! I hate that I waisted $300 with another company on my first go around. I am almost in tears I have not seen fresh organized verbage like this in years. I knew it would take some one professional to do this. I have worked corporate america and know what the standards are. Thanks you so much for spending quality time on my resume. It reads like it's specific to me. It's not cookie cutter or a lot of useless verbage. I like the draft. I can't think of anything that needs to be changed or added, let me know where we go from here. How much for a cover letter? I would like to speak with you by phone how can I reach you? Thanks Again! Carolyn S. Ilona, By the way, I'm looking forward to what this resume can do. From what I can tell, you did a tremendous job. Rich W. Donna, Wow I think you hit a home run, everything seems to be done perfect. Lee R. Peter, Ilona did a very nice job for me. I will certainly keep you in mind in regards to referrals. Thanks, Matthew C. Ilona, WOW!! This looks great. I can only see one correction which is on the location of my current position, should be Ft. Pierce. Other than that I am very pleased. You did an excellent job. Thank you very much. Henry T. Hi Rosie, I am very pleased with the format and only identified some minor changes to the proof which is attached. I would like for you to prepare a cover letter based on what I have seen from the reorganization of my resume. What is the process to go forward? I have a specific job in mind that I can provide lectronically that I would like this letter taylor'd too. Thanks Again, Robert D. Rosie, You did a fantastic job! You are a very talented and skilled writer. I am very pleased that I made the decision to have you rewrite my resume. I’m sure that it will have a dramatic effect on my success in seeking new opportunities. William P. Rosie, Who is this guy? I would definitely like to interview him myself. Oh, you mean that's me! Wow I had no idea I was so impressive! If the lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client, what about the person who writes his own resume! Thanks Rosie, I love your work! Mark F. Hi Donna, Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I think the resume is done. I love it. I'm getting rave reviews from everyone who sees it. Thank you so much for everything! Regards, Liza P. Hi Christine, First I'd like to say you did a really fine job with my resume. It looks good. There were a couple items on the resume that I had questions about. One other thing (I'm not sure if it is important) is my minor in French. I would like to get a position overseas and wonder if this in any way helps. Thank you. Dave M. Hi Christine Thanks for the resume. I have read it once already and it looks great and flows well. I will read it again for spelling etc. before i return to you ...hopefully by COB tomorrow. I do not see significant changes right now. I would like to wait on the cover letter for a while. Can I do that? How much is the cover letter? Talk to you soon. Evette F. Ilona, Great job! I made a few minor error corrections. Matthew C. Hi Ilona, So far any changes that need to be made are minor and, as you suggested, I can just make them myself. I think it came out great and I've gotten very positive feedback! Thanks for all your work and patience!! Please let me know if there is anything else I need to do. Peggy D. Jane, I just wanted to let you know that I have had outstanding success with my new resume. After only 25 days of using the new resume that Kelley Smith wrote, I secured a new position with the top company in my profession with a large increase in salary. Thanks for making this possible for me and my family. Gregg B. Donna, Just in time .... I don't know how much longer I can stand my current job so now that I have a beautiful resume I can concentrate on getting out of there. mille mercis for all of your hard work. Nancy D. Hi Ilona, Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. The cover letter and resume look great. After reading them I thought 'who is this!". There will be a few VERY minor changes. Right now there are just 2 - 1. remove the year I graduated from college 2. In the cover letter please change 'ethics' to 'ethic'. I still need to do some more verification on the job descriptions. Again I apologizefor the delay, it was a very busy week!! Thanks, Peggy D. Hi Jeanie, Have reviewed it now several times, catching something else each time I went through it. Looks great. A couple times I had to look at the top of the Resume to make sure it was mine! The changes are tracked and ready for your review. If you have any questions, you may either call me on my cell phone or just send me an email. Thanks for your help. Even though it's not yet finalized, it is definitely an improvement already. Jimmy H. Hello Ilona; I received the draft of my resume and I have to say you certainly did make a silk purse out of a sows ear!!!! It is a world of difference from the "resume" I had prepared myself. I must say again I am very pleased with the document so far and look forward to the phone ringing off the hook for interviews. Regards Peter H. PS The formatting of the document came out perfect when printed.....excellent job Ilona, Thank you for your hard work, this looks and sounds great. Here are your answers I think that should do it, and if you ever get to Atlanta lets have dinner.... Thanks, Joe Hi Ilona, thank you for your email. the resume and I think it's great. ...... Thanks again for your assistance. Regards, Jacqueline C. Hi Jean: I have the draft. It is very, very well done. Format and style are acceptable. I'm on the road today and tomorrow (Wed/Thurs) and will not be able to provide you with any changes or additions to the content before Friday sometime. Based upon my first "read through" , I don't foresee many re-writes, if any. Thank you... GREAT JOB... I'll get back to you on Friday. Larry W. Donna, The resume looks great-need to go thru it very carefully but I don't foresee many changes. I will get the dates for you in terms of my promotions. You have done a fabulous job!! Lorraine S. Hi Donna: It's been about 4 weeks since we talked and I have received 3 letters of interests from recruiters and employers regarding positions that I have applied to. So, this letter is just a formal way of saying thanks for your help with my resume. Now, all I have to do is manage the interviews. Thanks, Jeremiah Ilona It's PERFECTION! Yes, I do know Windows 2000 and XP....I would love to send this out first thing in the morning. Truly appreciate you going above and beyond even with the technical difficulties. Also, appreicate you catching the redundancy in the resume. You are a gem amongst jewels to work with!! Gabe B. Jeanie, Thank you for being so prompt in returning my resume and cover letter. I know that the first day back after vacation can sometimes be very hectic and I appreciate your efforts on my behalf. I think you have done an excellent job at capturing who I am and in describing my professional experience. I have made just a couple of edits and would be happy to get your opinion on them. Also, for some reason, the bullet formatting is erratic in the version you sent me. Would you mind sending me a PDF version of the final resume along with a Word copy so I can see how it is supposed to look? I must say…I am very impressed. I almost feel embarrassed returning a document with so few edits, but I think you have done an excellent job. I would be happy to refer you and Career Resumes to friends. Thanks, Scott H. Jeanie, I apologize if you have already received a copy of this email but something went wrong with my email when I tried to reply to your message. As I mentioned in that message, I really like what you have done with the structure and content of my resume. I think you have done a great job characterizing my professional experience. I have made a few edits, some for errors which may be the result of different versions of MS word. Thanks again, Scott Jeanie, Both documents look great. I think I can handle any further tuning and proofing. In general, I as very pleased with the result. It's a big improvement and I believe it does a much better job of representing my capabilities and accomplishments. Thanks for the great job. Thanks, Linda Hi Ilona, There were only two or three adjustments. It looks great Thanks. Regards, Diana L. Peter, This is to express my total satisfaction with the work done by Jeanie and to confirm that I equally subscribe for the one time storage fee of $25.00 for possible future revisions. Joost W. Donna, Thank you so much for the resume and cover letter! There really is not anything I would change! There are a couple of wording changes that I can make, but the whole document captures the spirit of what I wanted to say in my resume. If you want I can e-mail you back with the minor wording, but otherwise I would say that you were able to give me a stellar document the first time around! Let me know how you would like to finalize the resume and letter and I will respond quickly. Thank you again! Erik C. Jeanie, Thanks...received and reviewed the letter. No revisions at my end.....great job in writing! I thought I had writing skills, but you are exceptional in communicating ideas clearly, without hyperbole. Once you've made final revisions on the resume, we'll have a package ready for prime-time. You've done a super-job, exceeding my expectations. Once I have final package from you, I assume I'll be dealing with Peter to scope and execute a mailing. Also assume you'll be supplying Peter with text letter and resume for an electronic mailing? H. Richard L. Ilona, I thought it looked very good and I'm quite pleased with it - and excited to start sending it out! Thanks again, and let's get this thing polished and ready to go... Todd S. Hi Ilona, Sorry for the late response I have been very busy. Anyway, the cover letter and resume look great I am ready to start posting them. I have attached my resume with some minor corrections for you to look over. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Ash Ilona, Thanks so much for the resume. I am very happy with the quality of your work. Brent K. Ilona, I read the resume, it looks great!!! Thank you very much. Katherine M. Dear Peter: I have reviewed the first darft, as I noted to Ilona itwas quite good. I have sent it back to for some very minor corrections. As for the letter, it was equally impressive. I am loking forward to reviewing the resume as a final product. As for other services, at this time my funds are very limited. Take care. Jules P. Peter: Donna and I hooked up a while back and she gave my resume a perfect little update. It looks great and she completed it very quickly. Thanks again for your help. Hopefully the NEW resume with help me land the "job of my dreams". Unfortunately, there were no job listings for "Prima Princess" . Thanks again. Christina B. Ilona, All I can say is wow!! Jules P. Ilona, Thanks so much. It looks great at first glance, with a few dates that are off. I will fax you with the specific changes later today, Thursday. Jon R. Thanks Ilona ! That is a wonderful resume. I am really glad I took up your services. I am hoping it'll fetch me some great interviews. (other questions in between...) Once again, thanks a ton. I will be recommending your services to some of my friends as well. Frank B. |
