“I began working with Dean in August 2011 when I was re-entering the workforce after a layoff and needed help rewriting my resume. I was referred to Dean from a colleague on Linkedin, and from the first day we spoke, I felt very comfortable with Dean and knew he would help me find another job soon.

I purchased Dean’s “Resume Makeover” and it was just what I needed. His resume writing skills are far superior to anyone else’s I’ve used and well worth the cost. In fact, one recruiter at a company I applied with said my resume was “impressive” and “had not seen one like it before.”

Well, after several interviews, and nearly four months later, I was offered a job and am extremely happy! I feel Dean’s revamped resume was the key to my success and am very thankful for his help.

I highly recommend Dean Tracy to anyone who needs help revamping their resume, career coaching and mentoring, or just some advice on how to market and present themselves in today’s competitive employment environment. Thanks again Dean!”

Dennis Gioffre, Sales Executive

 

“I highly recommend Dean Tracy. As a recruiter, I have evaluated 1000s of resumes, but my own just didn’t reflect who I was and what I had to offer. I was completely stuck so I used his resume writing service and got a job quickly thereafter. Great results and confidence booster. We are too close to our own resumes so it is very powerful to have an expert write it. It didn’t come out canned but uniquely me. Very creative and maximized my experience. Use Dean to coach you and write your resume, it is so painless.”

Ellen Montague, Corporate Recruiter

Dean’s guidance empowered me to excel with confidence in a recent phone interview with a recruiter which led to an immediate face-to-face with the hiring manager of a leading health-care organization.
