what clients have to say about dear jane…

 “dear jane… helped me, guided me, taught me, and led me through a re-creation and update of my resume.  Meeting with Rebecca and completing the homework enabled me to see my work history not as tasks completed, but as accomplishments, growth, and achievement.”  

 “Empowered by this insight, I completed the rewrite of my resume with ease and renewed confidence.   My resume now tells my work story, showcases my accomplishments and communicates my qualifications and talents to others.” 

- Project Manager, Peoplesoft

 “Rebecca understands the complexity in corporate environments, the hiring managers’ perspective, and how to best represent my work history. 

 “It is appropriate that she has on her stationary polka dots; Rebecca helped me to connect my dots and see my career in a different light.”

- Business Systems Analyst, Peoplesoft

 “The services you provided were much more than a career search, and resume writing service. While going through the process, you pointed out that what I had accomplished in my professional career and personal life, was much more than I had given myself credit for. Even as uncomfortable as it was, while working on my resume, the benefits of going through this exercise was much more than I had envisioned.  By the time we were done, I felt I had a better understanding of who I was, where I had been, and where I wanted to go in my life. Mostly, you gave me the power to believe that I could achieve everything I wanted, and was deserving of it.”

- Field Sales Specialist, CNA Insurance

 “Rebecca spent several sessions of personal one-on-one time with me, designing and detailing my resume and coaching me on my interviewing abilities.  After being in the construction industry for over 23 years, and with my last employer for 13 years, I found my skills for marketing myself quite rusty. Working with Rebecca was a fantastic experience.  Her energy and knowledge is nothing less than first class. Thanks to all her experience, I was able to land my dream job and increase my salary by $25,000.00 a year!  As the song says, You’re Simply the Best!!!”

- Project Manager/Estimator, Saarman Construction 

“I owe my job and probably my career to Rebecca Martin of dear jane….  When I moved to a new area, I needed to find a good company to work for.  After several months with no prospects, I was ready to take anything.  Fortunately I found dear jane… first!   Rebecca transformed my resume into a much cleaner, easier to read document, without losing any of the important details. She also  helped me verbally to express my skills, in ways that worked well during an interview.  Without Rebecca’s help, I wouldn’t have gotten the interview with my new employer, let alone the job.”

 “Rebecca helped me decide what was important to me in a job.  She built my confidence in my abilities to a point that I could succeed in an interview.  It was a very stressful and uncertain time in my life and I am very thankful to Rebecca for helping me through it.”

- Senior Systems Engineer, Compucom 

“I am a graduate of USC with a degree in Business Administration and took some time off to raise my first child.  Once my daughter started school, I set my sites on re-entering the work force with a specific profession in mind. I wanted to work for a pharmaceutical company, as a sales representative. 

 “With the help of Rebecca Martin, I landed a coveted position with a reputable pharmaceutical company within 4 months and seven years out of the workforce, I was hired.”

 “This was all possible because Rebecca rediscovered my strengths and gave me the confidence to pursue my goals.  Her experience and professionalism helped me land the position.  I could not have done it without her.”

- Sales Representative, Searle Pharmaceuticals

 “I have been in the Hi-Tech Support engineering field for over 20 years. When the dot com crash hit the Silicon Valley in the fall of 2001, I like thousands of others found myself an unemployed victim of outsourcing. For many in my industry these were trying times. Jobs were scarce and the unemployment rate was at its highest point in years.

 “I met with Rebecca for a rewrite of my resume and to rework my skillset to better match the requirements of a changing industry. Although I felt very confident about my experience and skills, the biggest challenge was getting it on paper and in front of the right people. She helped me to see my business skills and experience in a new light and taught me how to market myself to a much larger audience. I immediately saw an increase in the number of responses to my new resume. Rebecca also directed me to a number of resources on the web.

 It is easy to get caught up in what you have done and the images you have of yourself in business. Rebecca gave me a "professional extreme makeover", like her logo says, "a fresh perspective" is what she provides and it has helped beyond my wildest dreams.

-Manager of Systems and Support Technology, Aspect Telecommunciations

 “dear jane… took raw career information and experience and formatted so it flowed and ultimately groomed it into an attractive professional resume.  The response the resume generated was nothing less than exceptional.  I had immediate requests for interviews and an offer only five days after I made the resume public.  This was during April of 2004, a time when positions in the technical arena were scarce to say the least.  As it turned out I accepted an offer and 11 months later I’m still with that firm supporting a Fortune 500 company.  Should I need personal marketing services again I will go directly to dear jane…

- Desktop/Helpdesk Support Manager, Cisco 

“What is the one question everyone gets asked after they graduate from college? “So, what are you going to do now?” It’s a simple enough question, but if you don’t know the answer it can be pretty daunting. The first six months after I graduated I lived my life avoiding that question. That is until I found Rebecca and dear jane…

 The first time I met with Rebecca she explained her process to me, and exactly what I was going to have at the end of our sessions. She promised that I would have a well put together professional resume that reflects my skills and accomplishments, a good understanding of who I am, what I can do, and what types of jobs I might want to have, and the knowledge to actually go out and find a job. Rebecca stayed true to her promise. She gave me all that and more.

 Rebecca is not only great at what she does, she is also a pleasure to work with. She is extremely dedicated to her job, and really cares about the people she works with. I would recommend anyone and everyone to Rebecca and dear jane...
