In their own words: Clients speak about their new resumes

"Jeff was hired to develop resumes for myself and six other members of my executive team and he did a fantastic job. He showed an ability to jump in and engage in substantive dialog on a wide range of high-level business topics. He created insightful original content for every team member and produced beautiful looking documents. I would recommend his services to executives of any discipline."

• Jim Ralph, Technology Industry CEO
  

“Jeff Toffoli has a masterful ability to listen to someone's life-work history and craft it into an authentic and interesting presentation of the skills and experience that a potential employer needs to know. Jeff mines the seemingly uninteresting and irrelevant details and uses that to highlight the core talents that would otherwise be overlooked perhaps even by the client, but definitely by someone reading an ordinary resume. I have referred many people to Jeff and have received positive reviews from each of them. Each person I referred found employment soon after using their new resume. I highly regard Jeff's creativity, integrity in his work, and commitment to his practice.”

• Jacqueline Janssen, Executive Recruiter

“We hired Jeff to help exiting employees polish up their resumes. In short, his work was excellent. He conducted interviews with each person, asked insightful questions about their background and listened intently and discovered each person's unique strengths. The net result was a "custom-fit" resume that helped our exiting employees find their next job. I strongly recommend Jeff's services.”

• Gary Sutton , SVP of Sales

“Jeff Toffoli helped me sum up a long and varied career in a concise, clear and highly marketable selling document, aka a resume. I really appreciate the time he took to understand my unique selling proposition and his creativity in laying it all out in a very detailed but highly accessible document.

I highly recommend Jeff as a business writer and as a career coach; he's a man of many talents, and my experience working with Jeff was 100% positive.”

• Jeff Taggart, Sales & Marketing Executive

“Jeff's great recommendations were what helped me find him, and he did not disappoint. Jeff's approach to resume development is very thoughtful, organized and the result is very impressive. The time he spends interviewing his clients, like me, really helps one look at their key strengths and value-add to an organization. It not only results in a great document, but also in great answers to often tough interview questions. If you have the choice between Jeff and someone else, make sure you go with Jeff!!”

• Frank Williams, Technology Marketing Executive

"Jeff's resume work and value for money are excellent. The first potential hiring manager that saw the resume, called me and said that it was the best resume he had ever seen. That immediate feedback, "from the market" gave me tremendous confidence about my job search.

I found Jeff on-line and was looking for a very specific expertise; to help me refresh a resume that was over 10 years old. Jeff's approach was great. Instead of asking me basic questions about my job titles and accomplishments, he interviewed me with a wide range of detailed questions aimed at telling a valuable story about my specific background, objectives, etc. We also collaborated on creating a unique format that helped the document stand-out and be more readable. I highly recommend Jeff for anybody who wants more then just, "another resume."

• Mark Petkovich, Senior Supply Chain Logistics Executive
  

"Jeff took my resume, which included years of experience and four careers, and transformed it into a concise and powerful marketing tool. After spending two sessions with Jeff, he produced a resume that I was not only proud of, but resulted in me obtaining a job!” 

• Lou Ann Lyons, Technical Support Analyst
  

“I hired Jeff to help me re-write my resume and bio, as part of my re-branding efforts for my consulting firm. I found Jeff to be very professional, patient and personable. As a result --- I received stellar products and great compliments on both my resume and bio.”

• Rhonda Mazzetti, Senior Management Consultant

“Jeff reworked my resume into a beautiful product that was impressive to interviewers. He was extremely astute, a good listener. In our in-person meeting, he was able to help me articulate and synthesize my thoughts and experience with sensitivity and efficiency. I came to him in panic, and left with relief. To this day, I am able to edit and update my resume using Jeff's original resume as a template. Without hesitation, I would recommend Jeff's services.”

• Abby Wallace, Project Manager

“Jeff is a brilliant entrepreneur with more ambition than you can (or should) shake a stick at. His ability to formulate creative language around any task is nothing shy of awe inspiring. I always look forward to our collaborations.”

• Aaron Dubois, Chief Operating Officer at The Branding Farm

“I hired Jeff about a year ago to do some writing for me. Due to the fact I own a branding firm I have worked with many writers. Well, Jeff is one of the best. His writing epitomized the direction I needed. In addition to that, he is simply put, a great guy! Very personable. I would highly recommend Jeff for any writing project!”

• Steve Beal, Principal at Beal Creative

I recommend Jeff entirely without reservation. Prepare to be impressed!”

• Cameron Timberlake, Account Executive
  

“I had a wonderful experience working with Jeff.

If the opportunity presents itself, I would hire Jeff again. Very professional and easy to work with.”

• Audrey Gordon, Creative Director
  

“I contracted with Jeff to prepare a new resume for my recent career change. My former resume was a bit stale - over 15 years old. Jeff's thorough interviewing, research and writing process addressed the new world of job search issues. In a very short amount of time I received an excellent resume - one that produced a significant number of inquiries from employers and recruiters. I whole-heartedly endorse Jeff - he is creative, efficient and has the business background which allows him to understand the nuances of ones career path. I will contract him for any future business writing requirements.”

• Marcus Hammerstein, Brand and Creative Advertising 
  

"I am thrilled with the resume that Jeff created and I am so happy that his unique service is available. Jeff actually spent two sessions interviewing me so that he could get a true feel of who I am and what I bring to the table. He took the time to really understand my field, which is a field that is rare and somewhat hard to define, and the final product is amazing. After having just sent out my resume, I have already received several offers for interviews! If you are in need of a new resume or a boost to an old one you will really do yourself a favor to contact Jeff."

• Julie Silverman, Medical Industry Consultant
  

"I wanted to thank Jeff for doing such a great job re-designing my resume. I am happy that I was able to get the benefit of his personal and professional service. At first, trying to revise my resume on my own was a very stressful and painful experience without much progress. Thus, it was beneficial to be able to talk through with him about my different skill sets and jobs to put together a coherent and effective resume. Working with Jeff made the process much easier with a better result."

• James Fallen, Director of IT
  

"Jeff was exactly who I needed; after my fatigue and sinking confidence in the battle with anonymous resume gate keepers on the other side, I found Jeff listened to me and cared to help me reinforce what I considered important highlights in my career. He helped me write and talk about my accomplishments in a succinct, impact and meaningful perspective, which also looked through the eyes of the employer, who chooses to hire me.

Jeff followed up with me and provided me with on-going assistance. I felt I had a caring human being on the other end, and my confidence in the success of my career search boomed again. Jeff helped me add edge and dynamics to my resume and ultimately made me more marketable on the job market. Jeff was there for me, when I needed his help..."

I didn't expect everything to happen so quickly and the market to respond in my favor. For the first time, I am in more control of my future than ever. Thanks to Jeff!”

• George Surmaitis, Lawyer

“Jeff showed he had a well thought out plan on how to get you to focus on what qualities you really wanted to shine on your resume.
