Individual Successes & Résumés

“Do you know for a fact that you are anything but ordinary, but you are unable to break free from the pack in the job hunt? I have felt that way for a long time; unfortunately, my resume has always looked exactly like everyone else’s – 8.5×11 with a reverse chronological listing of dates, duties, and job descriptions. Don’s material shows you how to stand out and present your transferable skills and actual accomplishments of which you are most proud. I attended a veterans job fair in Houston last week, and many of the recruiters read every word of my 5 page professional profile (burn your traditional resumes). You will encounter people who think the new format is too long, but maybe that is because they conform to the standard HR attitude of laziness and brevity that is so prevalent today. That is also the same attitude that has been costing you your job interviews. In addition to drawing legitimate interest, you will also understand yourself so much better than before. You will know exactly what it is you want to do, and you will be able to clearly state your goals, objectives, and best skills. Don tells it like it is. He will give the most blunt feedback and will also let you know how bad you’ve been doing everything before. In today’s politically correct world, that is a very refreshing thing to find. I am thankful for Don’s unique way of presenting myself like never before.”
