Coaching Client"Working with Susan has been a pleasure and an exciting adventure! Susan has
helped me rebuild my confidence and regain my enthusiasm. Her encouragement,
insight, ideas and suggestions have made a tremendously positive impact in
my interviewing skills as well as the development of my career goals.I was struggling through unemployment for several months and feeling quite
discouraged at the lack of response from the 60+ jobs I applied for. A
friend of mine referred me to Susan and within 10 days, I had not one, but
three resumes!! Immediately after sending my new resumes out, I started
receiving responses and requests for interviews.Within a matter of 2 weeks I was offered the "dream job"!! Not only did the
company offer me the position, they offered a salary higher than initially
stated and a benefits package that far exceeded my expectations! Moreover,
this was a career transition that occurred over the holiday season and
during the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001 including an economic downturn and an
increased unemployment rate.With the help of Susan's resumes and the coaching sessions throughout the
interviewing process, I have arrived at a place that seemed impossible and I
am headed in the direction of my dreams!! THANK YOU SUSAN for the hope,
encouragement and support!!! It CAN be done!!!"Cay C.

Author, Editor, Communications Professor"Since 1994, I have examined thousands of résumés by more than 150 résumé writers. Without a doubt, Susan Whitcomb is one of the top 10 among those writers. Her specialty is taking an average résumé and turning it into a masterpiece. If you want to look over her shoulder to see how she does it, check out her first book, Résumé Magic (JIST Works, 1999), which is itself a masterpiece on résumé writing."

"I was transitioning from the field of education into pharmaceutical sales and competing against candidates who had direct sales experience in pharmaceutics. Despite my lack of pharmaceutical experience, I received interviews from nearly every pharmaceutical sales company that I applied to."

Management Consultant"I applied to the international accounting and consulting firm Ernst & Young. Shortly after sending in my résumé, I received a call asking me to fly down, meet a few people, and formalize the details. Based on my résumé, they had essentially made the decision to hire me before I even interviewed!"

Telecommunications Sales Representative"I submitted a scannable, keyword résumé to my company's online résumé tracking system to be considered for promotions within the company. Within three hours of posting it, my manager walked into my office and said, we'd like to promote you to an Account Manager!' When my colleagues asked me why I was paying to have someone do my résumé, I told them it's because you are a very good writer and really know how to position people for advancement."
