Subject: I GOT THE JOB!

I got the job I wanted; I will be able to work at home W/BENEFITS! I have an expense account ... Thank you so much for your resume.  Not just your resume, your resume writing class.  In this class I learned not to down play what I do.  Also, you taught me how to really answer questions! Not just say whatever and hope someone just gets it.  This helped me so much because a lot of the companies wanted me to completely answer a lot of questions.  With your process I was able to give a well thought out answer that was more than one sentence. 

I thought in the beginning that you were pricey. But you have truly been priceless, your process is wonderful.  I will use your services whenever I need a job. 

Also, I will get my offer later today (its 4am) I'll let you know if I need to negotiate the offer.

Thanks for all your help. You Rock Wendy.

Tamika Williams, Mortgage Originator

(FYI: I interviewed with 3 companies and had three offers. I turned two down.)

Note: Tamika got her offer - and with salary negotiations coaching, doubled her base.

 

30% to 40% Bump in Base Pay
I wanted to drop you a note to let you know how helpful you have been in my entire career search. I can tell you this…this process works and it works well! Your Legend program helped me narrow down what I wanted to do, got me in the door to talk to people, and finally, get a good feel for my marketability and worth. This led me to accepting the position I desired most, at the price I wanted to get paid or was worth, all at the level I wanted. The position I negotiated was a Commercial Lending position at the Assistant Vice President level at a regional bank in town with a 35-40% bump in base pay. The opportunity that presented itself will also allow me to make VP in a year-and-a-half, receive stock options, and be eligible for a company car. Now that's results.

Thanks again. I will send anyone I know your way. I think this is the only way to go and with all the compliments I received and networking I did, it only confirms that this is how people get ahead in their professional careers.

Self-Marketing Gets Candidate Hired
People ask me, “Why did you choose a career coach in Wisconsin when you live in Boston?” I tell them that by net-surfing, I found your name and when we spoke for the first time, I knew we connected, and you were the one I needed to help me find my way.

Well, it’s one week since I completed your three-month Legend Program, and I have a job. I’m working part time, from my home, with people I know (high comfort zone), in an area helping people (as we identified), still able to do sports (my passion I won’t give up). I’m Executive Director for a nonprofit organization helping women who are widowed around the globe.

You gave me the confidence and boost I needed. You created a drop-dead resume that accentuates my experience and puts everything I've done in a positive light. Most of all, you made me laugh, you made me think, and you gave me the strength and confidence to take what I have and market myself, and get what I want. I'll recommend you anytime to anyone. –Beth N., executive director
