What People Say...
A SMALL SAMPLE OF OUR CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
"I have worked closely with John on both a personal and professional referral basis for many years. John has a holistic approach to job search and career transition. He coaches and monitors clients throughout the whole process and prepares them for the unexpected. Resume construction, interview tactics, salary and benefit negotiation are all standard consultations. However, John has been very effective at providing the “edge” in each of these areas that give his clients a distinct advantage over their competition. There are many professionals in the search and transition profession, but it is John’s seasoned experience in an array of professional fields and job market environments that distinguishes him from the rest." Kim S. Manchester, ME
