Testimonials

Michelle,

These are excellently done! I am amazed and humbled by the power of good writing and presentation.

Michael G. CEO Healthcare Management

Thank you! You are truly an artist!

– Jules O.

We met last week at the Greenwich Country Club. I am now an intern from Beach Point Club. Your presentation is awesome, and I really learned a lot! Fortunately, I know what is the right thing to do before I graduate and look for a job. Hope you all the best, and I will keep you posted of my future career progress!

– Mengjia

Thanks Michelle! I’m fortunate that I was able to get a new job. Your advice was very helpful and BOOM…got a new job in the DC area!

– Michael R.

I wanted to follow up with you and let you know that I ended up getting two offers. I had a third opportunity to interview for an internal position with my existing organization. I turned that interview down due to the two offers. The company met my salary requests and is granting me more vacation than the normal new employee. I read the article you posted about negotiating salary … and I opted not to because they gave me everything I asked for out of the gate. Thank you for all of the work you did on my materials. I did not expect the changes to happen this quickly. I don’t think it would have been possible without the work you did on my materials.

– Noelle S.

I can’t wait to take a look at this! I cannot believe you were able to do this so quickly. It’s amazing. This was clearly money well spent.

– Lisa C.

wanted to shoot you a quick email to thank you for your work on my resume, cover letter and LinkedIn Profile. Since having you update my materials, I have had two interviews. One led to a potential opportunity. The other turned into a dinner meeting with a C-Level at the company next week. I also have another interview pending with my existing organization for a new position. I appreciate your assistance and love the materials.

Thank you so much for your time and effort. I greatly appreciate everything.

– Noelle S.

Thank you. Great work and very happy client. I would definitely recommend your services.

– Kathie

Just wanted to say thank you for your wonderful work, support and details to all of my son’s needs. I look forward to the next few months of success and positive future for both my son and your endeavors.

– Marilyn A.

Thank you very much! It looks fabulous!! I look sooo much better on paper now!

– Dan M.
General Manager

I have to tell you I, along with my wife who is a former club manager, are both very pleased with my resume. Thank you again for your hard work. I never thought over 30 years in the hospitality industry and clubs, with as much as I have accomplished, could fit in two pages and be legible and easy to read, but you have done it.

– V. J. D.

From a Teambuilding Event: We thoroughly enjoyed having you. Thank you so much for your energy and time! It was so rewarding!

I hope this email finds you well. This is Theodora Fleurant from the New York Public Library. We met at the most recent meetup for the Office Readiness Series program in Mid-March. The students enjoyed your presentation so much that we decided that we would love to invite you to speak again for our Spring 2016 program. I would love the opportunity to discuss the possibility of having you as our guest speaker again. I believe you were such an excellent motivator for our student body that will prepare to enter the workforce upon their graduation from ORS with solid skills in hand.

Your time is greatly appreciated.

So this amazing Executive Resume Writer out of the goodness of her dear heart, sat down with me a few years ago to help me update my resume. Happy with my job now but some issues make me want to test the value of my worth. I sent my resume out and have been bombarded with phone interviews and invitations for 2nd interviews… thank you Riklan Resources!

– Mindy G.

I wanted to thank you again for being a great speaker at our Office Readiness Meetup last night. It was great to hear the feedback from patrons who were happy that they came and felt they were walking away with new knowledge on what to do to help them advance their careers. I also loved the fact that you had so many people coming up to you afterwards that wanted more insight from you.

Keep up the amazing work.

Let me begin by telling you how much your newsletter benefits the clients I serve. Because we don’t contract with you for services, you have no way of knowing just how useful it is. I often send articles from it to the clients and they frequently respond with thoughts and questions triggered by the articles. The information is clear and short enough that people don’t get bogged down in reading it. One hidden benefit is that it’s nice to share career information that isn’t coming from a disability related agency. Sometimes our clients get the idea that their job searches are so unique that they aren’t part of the mainstream. Discovering that you are saying the same exact things they are hearing from me and from the placement specialists with whom we work is gold.

Keep up the good work.

I would appreciate a copy of the PPT presentation I viewed last night in Mid- Manhattan. I enjoyed your presentation very much.

– Jim M.

I was one of the participants at last night’s NYPL networking event. I had the good fortune to listen to your terrific job search presentation. You mentioned that you would forward it, if requested. Here’s my request!

You provided excellent information which I could certainly use as I update my resume. Many thanks.

– Maureen B.

I have used my revamped resume to apply for some jobs on Indeed and Monster and within a week I have already scored 3 phone interviews. I want to thank you so much for the great work you did with my resume. It looks like things are finally looking up!

My resume has brought me a lot of success in getting calls and interviews when I was searching last summer, and again now, so I am very happy that I made the investment with you!

Teambuilding Event 2015:  Everything was great! They are still talking about the games and those who were able to stay for the kids were very happy to see them so excited! Thanks again!

Thank you Michelle. Looks good. I truly believe the last revision you did for me helped secure my current job.
