Three resumes - three jobs
I am a true believer as they would say. I first used the services of Resume,Etc. in 1998 after a job search that had been long and fruitless. I had no idea what I was doing wrong and could not get my foot in any door. I had work experience, education and references but something was wrong. Someone gave me the name of Resumes Etc. and Fred Mariani. A new resume and the phone rang, within weeks I accepted a position with a company that I held for nine years.

Nine years later I was back at Resumes Etc. and telling Fred that it was time to move on for financial reasons. The resume got me in the door of a leading handbag and small accessory manufacturer/retailer. I ended up getting an offer for 10% higher than was my bottom line.

Marching forward to 2009 and the toughest job market in twenty-five years, I walked into Fred's office and told him I could not longer stand the commute from Milford to Norwalk and had to get closer. That was late summer 2009 and in December, 2009 I landed the new position in Milford with a step up the ladder and a salary increase.

Each resume has been crafted to highlight my talents and put me in the best possible light. They snapshot who I am as a professional and the skills I bring to the company. They get me in the DOOR. They open the DOOR, if the DOOR is not open, I do not get the chance to sell myself.

Fred sets you up in the best possible light and I have sent numerous people to him and never hesitate to recommend him.

Dear Fred:

I just wanted to thank you for helping me re-vamp my resume. I sent it out one evening to an advertisement I was interested in and by 9:30 the next morning I had a phone call and an e-mail from the employer wanting to set up an interview with me sooner than later. I had the interview this week and it went very well, the company is making a final decision by Friday. Whether or not I get this particular job, I know that I have an excellent resume that is getting me in the door and landing me interviews until the right one comes along!

Thanks again, I will definitely recommend your services to friends and family!

Sincerely,
Jessica C. Buturla

Fred and Chris,

Thanks so much for your resume, power cover letter, internet job search, and interview skills. I got a ton of interviews and a great job offer with more money, even during a recession. This is the second time you guys have done a great job for me. You guys are the best.

Thank you,
Robert B. Allen

I managed to find a job 6 months ago in a consulting firm in Stamford. Your resume’ definitely did the job….even in this bad economy. I have to hit the lotto. J

THANKS

Dear Fred,

I thought you might like to hear something a perspective employer remarked about my cover letter and resume. He received over 200 resumes and said mine stood out and was the best by far.

Hey Fred, I just wanted to take a minute and thank you and your staff for putting together a great Resume'. I have received multiple offers of employment with companies in my field (landed!).. Now the biggest issue I have is I need your help in writing letters of - "No Thanks" to the companies I did not go with... Again- thanks to you and the team for all your help in my career search and being available when needed!

Sincerely
Mervyn Roberts Jr.

Fred, I just landed and interview with a technologies provider company. They told me it was one of the best resumes and cover letter they have ever seen. Mike Salvano

hi Fred - I started a new job at IBM last week in Southbury. The resume and cover letter you wrote were great! I simply could not have landed this job without you. I really appreciate the time you took to review interviewing skills with me. These skills will help me in the future.

thanks

Fred,
I am writing to tell you that I interviewed for the Public Defender Investigators position in Stamford, and Bridgeport Court. Both interviewers stated that the cover letter I submitted was the best they have ever seen. The Bridgeport Public Defender said that she showed the letter to her daughter and told her this is a guy that is going to get interviewed. I thank you for your services and I trust I will get offered the job.

Fred,
I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the excellent service you provided. Several months ago I came to you looking for resume / cover letter services. I had my hopes set on a specific job posted at a local university, but knew that I also had to keep my eyes open for other opportunities in both academia and the corporate world. You created two resumes and two cover letters covering all of my needs, and the cost was very reasonable considering all of the hard work that went into my specific case.
Using the resumes you created, I was offered three jobs in the span of six months, during one of the most heinous recessions that our country's economy has ever seen.
The third offer came from the university that I had hoped to work for and now I have been happily employed for over six months. Also, the hiring committee told me multiple times that my cover letter and resume stood heads above the rest of the other candidates.
There is nothing greater than giving someone the confidence to go out into the world and succeed at finding a great career. You have done that for me and I can't thank you enough.
Warmest Regards,
Edyta

Thank you so much for your job search assistance. I am awaiting a final confirmation from Northrop Grumman concerning my job offer in Bethpage, NY. They have already transferred my security clearance from the military to their company. They are in the process of getting the test results from my drug screening and conducting a background check. Once that is complete, it should be final. The job offer is for a Level II Program Manager in the Aerospace Systems sector. The pay and benefits are excellent.

So, with the grace of God, I should have a definite job in the next week or so.

Fred,
A huge thank you, I've been applying to jobs for six weeks without one response, your resumé and cover letter landed me an interview with the first job I applied for.
Thanks,

Alan

Fred,
I sent my resumé out last night to the company I want to work for. I received a call for an interview the next day and they told me I was the most qualified.
Thanks,

Fred,
In less than just two weeks, I have already received two interviews.
Thanks,

Fred,
Thanks so much for the power cover letter. I've had five interviews already, your the best.

Fred,
I received your resumé and cover letter for one of our job applicants, the first thing that comes to mind is impressive, powerful and self assured.

Fred,
I can say without any reservation that your services and dedication to providing exceptional service has increased the propensity for a perfect match position, exponentially!!
I would be most pleased to provide a letter of recommendation.

Sir,
Just wanted to let you know I got a job with Sikorsky three days after you wrote my resume. They said it was the best cover letter they had ever seen. Thank you for your help.
Respectfully,

Dear Mr. Mariani,
I just wanted to thank you for all of your help throughout the years. You've supported me as a friend and mentor and I am forever in your debt.
Thanks
Kyle

...Just wanted to let you know that Jill was accepted to the National Honor Society and she was inducted at a ceremony last night. Thank you for all your help and support.
Joanne

...Stepping aside from resume writing, when I had a contest essay to prepare, I knew what I wanted to say, but formulating my words to express it in the most compelling way was not something I felt adequate in doing. When I contacted you and asked if you could help, you were able to use your mastery at language to help me walk away with FIRST prize! Read full testimonial.

Donna Ortoli

I've tried writing my own resumes in the past with only marginal results, but what you have done for me is absolutely revolutionary! The response from potential clients and employers was so immediate that I was overwhelmed and delighted.

I can't thank you enough, not only have you written me a resume that I'm proud of, but the confidence to match.

The very best to you!
Steph

I just wanted to thank you so much for your service. I was very pleased with the results and I have been referring people to you. One is my best friend who was going to give you a call today. I've also been recommending you to people at my church and some have taken down your information.
I posted my resume online with Monster.com on Thursday after meeting with you. Within 5 hours a company contacted me in Glastonbury and I was hired on Friday. Your services really worked!!

Thank you again and I will continue to promote your business.
Sincerely,
Amy

I would like to thank you for putting together a perfect resume. Not only did I receive a great response but also found a wonderful job in less than a month. I was even told on one of the interviews I went to it was the best resume they had ever seen and was asked if she could model hers after mine!

I am certain that my updated resume was the key to getting so many interviews (and offers) and have already told all my friends that it was the best thing I ever did.

Thanks again.
Loreen

Fred,
I received two job offers already. When I posted your resumé on-line I got great critiques. I was also impressed with all the time you spent with me.

Thanks
Rich

Okay I know you said that I was going to get phone calls and emails, but you never said how CRAZY it was going to be! I need an assistant to take the messages. All I did yesterday was post the new and improved resumes on Monster, Hot Jobs and Career Builder and I had 20 calls/emails! What did you do put some type of spell on the resumes......lo! Thank-you so much.

Gina

Fred did an amazing job with my resume focusing it more clearly and specifying the details of my experience. After sending it out to just one place to start with, I got a call from HR saying the president of the company (a large NY firm) saw it and wanted me to come in for an interview.
