Success Stories

C.S. had never had her resume professionally done. She had good credentials, but her accomplishments were not highlighted on her previous resume nor was there any strategy to the entire document. We combined a resume with career coaching to get results. She wrote:

Dear Phyllis:

“You were instrumental in helping me get what I wanted. The reaction was extremely positive to the resume. Through coaching you gave me the necessary time and attention to look at my career goals and get a better picture. Thank you for your professionalism!”

R.T. was a high achiever who was unhappy in his present work. He left the company and knew that he did not want to return to the kind of stress that he had encountered in his last two positions. When he came to CareerMasters, I told him that I would work with him in partnership to find out what motivated him, what burned him out and what areas would be appropriate for him to explore to change direction in his career. Within 4 weeks, he had targeted 2 career goals and moved into the resume phase of the job search. He wrote:

“Beginning a new career was a daunting task. Phyllis Shabad’s expertise, career assessment methodology and transition coaching provided me with the confidence that I needed to get back on track.”

J.D. decided to search for a more financially rewarding position in her field. When she came to CareerMasters with her old resume, it was clear that there were no selling points to match her credentials. What did her new resume accomplish? She reported:

“Consistently, people were impressed by the easy-to-read layout and clearly communicated value. My resume got noticed, especially because you convinced me to use the “testimonial strategy” and I was able to go on countless interviews. I now have to weigh all the job offers I have received.”
