“I want to thank you for the outstanding work you completed on my resume, Linkedin profile, accomplishments, and the experience I bring to my employers and clients. Your review and edits proved comprehensive, informative, and concise. My friends and colleagues agree that you clearly defined what I have done, as well as who I am as a professional. Not an easy thing to do. It takes a skill set and objectivity too often lacking when trying to explain or promote ourselves. I would highly recommend you to anyone in need of your talents and assistance.”
