Many thanks for your super professional assistance, guidance and detailed corrections to my résumé. I like them all, but still want to make a couple of modifications.
HR VP for the Americas, major pharma corporation
I can´t thank you enough for your help with my résumé. Now I know what a “winning résumé” means – getting read, getting an interview, getting a job. A week after I submitted it, the hiring manager replied, then interviewed me two days later, and I got the job offer the next day. All in about 10 days.
Senior Library Professional, New York City
THANK YOU, again, for your help. I recently received this: “HOLY COW! I just read your résumé on Linkedin. You are an extremely accomplished young lady. I look forward to getting to know you to identify a great connection to network with.” I could not be happier right now! With your help I was better able to explain my experience and see the positive effect it has.
Project management professional re-entering job market
Amid the economic downturn, my husband was unemployed. For two years, his many job applications did not even get him a return call. After you helped him with his résumé, however, he was called and hired right away. Thanks.
Wife of banking executive, New Jersey
My “Gómez-certified résumé” was key to getting in the door, getting an interview and getting a job. Your help in identifying and persuasively presenting my accomplishments and skills was pivotal. Your patience in working with me every step of the way made the difference.
Museum management executive, New York City
Thanks for your support in my Oxford Ph.D. studies application, particularly your work on my résumé and cover letter. Now, three years later, and with a Ph.D. in economics, I have a new position. I owe you an immense debt of gratitude. I will never forget your course at NYU.
Oxford University doctoral student in economics
Your summary of my experience, skills and achievements is “spot on.” I am grateful to you for taking the initiative to draft the summary. I would not change a word. My résumé, as you say, evolved magnificently and now is “a winner.”
Undergraduate student, New York University
A note of deep appreciation for the outstanding workshop you presented to our students. Coming only days before a job fair here, it was of concrete, practical value to our students. They are still raving – and I know that you helped some of them individually for several days after the workshop. Thanks, again.
Career Counselor, CUNY Graduate School of Journalism
Why didn’t I see those shortcomings in my résumé? Now I realize why I was not getting the responses I wanted – and needed. Thanks to your help I feel empowered, more confident and better able to sell myself. I am deeply indebted to you for your help. Already getting replies!
Mid-career professional, New York City
Thanks for all the insights – and recommendations – you shared with us at the 2012 leadership development training program in Washington, DC. As you can see, I have taken it all to heart and incorporated them in my résumé. I welcome any other observations and assistance.
Trainee, National Hispana Leadership Institute
I attended your empowerment workshop and have applied your recommendations. If it is not too much to ask, can you take a look and see if I have captured and presented properly what I need for a “winning résumé?” Your advice is very important to me as I seek new opportunities.
Participant, Latina empowerment seminar, NYC
Thanks for speaking to our summer interns and fellows. Several approached me to say how much they enjoyed it. They said they had not received such valuable advice, confessing to having used the Internet for résumé examples, but said your “real world” advice was invaluable.
Diversity Executive, Princeton, NJ
What can I say? Your workshop was incredible! The fellows were amazed by the helpful hints you gave them and your candor in fielding their questions. Clearly, you changed the way they look at their education, training, work experience and skills and how to market them.
Director, NJ Governor´s Summer Fellowship Program
Thank you so much for taking time to review and edit my CV and cover letter. They are now perfect to be sent out to the outside world. I am confident that I will find a job I truly like – with your help (hired shortly after with a significant salary increase – and delighted).
CFO, Nonprofit, New York City
Thank you for the excellent résumé workshop you led for our youth. You demonstrated patience and kindness in answering their questions, and kept the youth engaged while still offering practical advice. The fact that they followed up with you reinforces what we know: You are a person of integrity and the youth felt so comfortable connecting with you.

I reviewed all the documents and found them supremely interesting. In fact, it was life-changing (before and after), especially when my résumé was a complete example of what not to do. I took my notes and have now built a new résumé. I really appreciate your support.
Immigrant in job market, New York City
I can’t describe how grateful I am for your willingness to help us. Your experience, your commitment, your vivid language impressed me a lot. I found your comments on my résumé so helpful and already made a new version which looks much better than the previous one (hired shortly after graduation).
Graduate Student, Finance, University of Rochester
Your résumé lecture was very inspiring. I learned concepts I had never thought of, for example, we should always think as if we were the employer. I’m applying your advice to my résumé.
Graduate Student, Fordham University, New York City
I reviewed your edits and I think you did a fantastic Job! Can’t thank you enough. The version that I sent to you was made by a résumé “expert” about a year ago – for so much money! This is the final version of all the touch ups. What do you think so far?
