1. Valued Client Testimonial
I’djust like totake thisopportunitytoprovide atestimonial of myrecentexperience with both your
company and in particular with my personal consultant Carolyn Whitfield.
It was just a little over 4 weeks ago that I approached you regarding obtaining an updated resume
and cover letter to assist with future job applications. After my initial phone call to discuss what
services you could offer I was extremely impressed with your friendly but yet professional nature
which made me feel immediately comfortable investing my time and money into your company.
From that point I was promptly assigned to my personal consultant, Carolyn.
There are endless positive words that I could use to describe my experiences with Carolyn, from
passionate and professional, to friendly and dedicated, making the entire process ever so simple.
Havingbeen over 11yrs since I had actively had to seek employment I was faced with the daunting
task of getting my skills, experience and qualifications out there to new prospective employers in
whatwas a ‘newworld’inregardsto jobhunting.My previousknowledge of jobseeking was to find
an advertisement,submitaresume listing‘whatIhaddone’and waitfora call.Carolynhelped open
my eyes to the requirements of today’s job seeker:
 An attention grabbing cover letter with precise points
 A resume that sells both my skills and experience through the use of CAR’s and not just
listing past experiences but using them to explain what I can bring to the new
position/company
 An online profile(LinkedIn) that is viewable to all future prospective employers to assist in
them finding me, not just me finding them.
 Hints and tips in people networking and the hidden job market
NotonlydidCarolyngenerate the requesteddocuments(coverletter, resume and LinkedIn profile)
that were of the highestprofessional level butshe managedtochange my whole mindset about job
seeking, providing me with many new skills that I will carry right through to the interview stage.
Armedwiththisnewmentalityanda set of professional documents my confidence is now sky high
(whichcan be a little lowafteraredundancy) andI am readyand prepared for any interviews or job
opportunities that arise.
One other comment I would like to make is that when I first entertained the thought of seeking
professionalhelp to assist with a resume etc, I was expecting somebody to just ask what position I
was applying for and then simply generate a generic set of documents to suit the criteria but from
my experienceswith Carolyn that couldn’t have been further from the truth. To say that the entire
process was on a personal level is an understatement. From her initial phone call to the constant
email repliesfrommyquestions(whichweremany!) Carolyngottoknow me bothon a personal and
professional level which is heavily reflected in the documents she produced. Carolyn was always
contactable evenonweekendsandlate atnight,whichwhilstnotexpectedwasgreatlyappreciated.
As the job advertisement I was applying for had a closing date within 1-2 weeks of first contacting
Sarah, Carolynwentabove andbeyondtoensure my documents were completed on time, working
weekendsandlate nights, especially with developing the engineering documents that were a late
additional request with little notice. Nothing was ever too much hassle for her.
I will be more thanhappyin the future tohighlyrecommendSarahCronin’sservicesandinparticular
