“Dean Tracy has established himself as the “go to guy” when my company interacts with professionals who would benefit from working with a first-class Career/Executive Coach. Many people are considering, or engaged in, making a career change – but are not sure where to go or how to do it. Often those same people do not know how to put together a resume that’s compelling and helps them stand out against other candidates. That’s when we refer them to Dean. We’ve seen his work and find it best-in-class – in fact, we have received a 100% satisfaction rating from people we’ve referred to him. It doesn’t get any better than that!”
Roger Preble, President, Cornerstone Search and Consulting
“Dean was a pleasure to work with. I met Dean through a recommendation of a former client. I came to him for guidance and to be able to have a resource to help guide me in my career search. He was instrumental to me in not only giving me actionable advice, he could also look at things I was too close to, and see it a different way, make suggestions to me that I could turn into talking points. For me, his takeaways at every step were invaluable. He also was there to COACH me. I needed someone to more than help me write a resume, I needed someone to bounce what was happening in my career search off of. Someone who knew what MY goal was, and helped me achieve that goal. My search was successful in only 5 weeks, I had my choice of options, and am extremely happy in my choice. He was accessible, knowledgeable, professional, and open to my position as well as presenting his positions. Sometimes you need expert advice from someone outside your own sphere. Dean was that person to me and I recommend him, and his services highly. If you want a great resume, yes, but more importantly to me, if you need someone to be on your side, and to give you advice and mentoring, that person is Dean.”
Elisa B., Senior Sales Executive
“It is a pleasure to recognize the contribution of time and resources that Dean Tracy provides to the members of CPC Job Connections. I joined this group 1 1/2 years ago after being downsized from a 12+ year long sales position. Upon attending my first meeting I immediately noticed Dean’s ability to provide encouragement and support along with imperative interviewing preparation details. I attend most every Saturday to gain the tips and preparation advice Dean provides. He’s a real PRO who works tirelessly to help the CPC Job Connections members benefit from his knowledge and experience. It’s no wonder that Dean is very successful in his career…kudos to Dean!”
Erin Robinson, Senior Sales Executive
“Dean is amazing. I wish I had been introduced to him sooner. I was in a rut finding the right sales position. After working with Dean and changing my resume and LinkedIn profile, a new world opened for me! I landed a wonderful sales position with a great company AND, the phone calls and emails keep coming! I will always be internally grateful to Dean for his fabulous coaching and mentoring. Dean truly cares and wants you to succeed and be the best you can be. I can’t say enough about how he has changed my life. I’d highly recommend Dean to anyone. I guarantee you will be glad you did. I feel very fortunate to work with such a compassionate and talented individual.”
Linda Gladstone, Enterprise Business Development
“Dean provided invaluable insight and expertise on repositioning myself during a difficult career transition. From rewriting my resume to highlight my strenghts which were buried in too much information to coaching me on how to discuss my past positions, he was professional, knowledgable and supportive at every juncture. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to shine.”
Jamie H., Executive Director
“Seeking employment for the first time in many years, I felt lost until I met Dean. Re-entering the workplace, his professional coaching led to a winning resume and inspiration to interview with confidence! After reviewing my working past, both employment and volunteer, Dean was able to focus on my most valued and employable skills. I’m grateful for his professional counsel and highly recommend Dean to those seeking employment as well as those seeking top candidates to employ!”
Debra Prince, Manager of Corporate Communications
“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
“Brilliant, Imaginative, Original, Knowledgeable, Dedicated, Caring, Unselfish, Personable & Motivating! This is Dean Tracy and much more! Dean helped me develop a captivating achievement based resume resulting in more job leads than previous reigniting my confidence and hope in securing the right career opportunity.
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.
Thank you Dean for your big and caring heart, for giving me hope again and for unselfishly assisting in developing the tools I need to attract the perfect career opportunity!”
