"Dawn created a résumé for me which helped articulate my value as an executive. She is very professional and works very quickly. I was impressed with her understanding of the universe of job seeking and her voluminous website. The cost was a professional investment and a value for what I received. I give her my highest recommendation and would hire her again without hesitation. Thank you, Dawn."
"When I found myself laid off and out of work for the first time in a nearly 20-year career, I was in a panic and didn't know what to do. Fortunately for me, Dawn knew exactly what to do. She worked with me to craft a résumé that highlighted my most marketable skills and showcased my most impressive accomplishments. The result was the best, most effective résumé I ever had, and that résumé helped me land a new, and more importantly, better job before my severance had even run out. Thank you, Dawn!"
"I met Dawn at the Oregon Employment office when I was laid off from my news director radio job. I knew I was going to hire her five minutes into her lesson. Dawn is the consummate professional and she really knows her stuff. I thought I had a good résumé until I started working with her. She showed me how I was not up to date with what employers were looking for and how the use of keywords and catch phrases would be beneficial to me in our electronic world. Dawn made my résumé(s) "shine" and I can say I’m now happily employed as a news reporter at Portland’s #1 news radio station. I have recommended Dawn to several colleagues and they’ve all called to thank me. I’m not the hero, Dawn is. She’s a “gem” in her field and beyond."
