We must be doing something right…

“Resume worked!”
From CIO to COO (Client sharing press release announcement of her new job)

“Many thanks for everything so far. I truly believe the areas you helped me with landed me in this position, and so far I’ve been very happy with my new organization. It’s night and day difference of work environment, and I think I’ll be here for quite some time!”
Software Engineering Executive

“Working with Paula Asinof on my resume, executive bio, and LinkedIn profile was an amazing experience! She was incredibly helpful in refreshing these documents and really helped me to capture not only my experience and the value I would bring to an organization but also got to the heart of who I am and what drives my passion.”
Senior Technology Executive

“Thanks for a great resume! Apparently it did the job. As soon as I sent it, my target company scheduled an interview – and every 10 minutes they keep asking me to meet more people. It looks like I’m meeting 5 people today.”
Group President, Fortune 50 Healthcare Company

“Paula has a unique ability to help me ‘unclutter my mind’”.
Technology Executive, Pharmaceutical Industry

“When I began searching for my next role, I struggled to find words for my last position. You showed me how narrow I was focused and how a resume, cover letter, and bio come together as a package to show off my accomplishments. Thanks for taking the time to answer all my questions about the thought process. The documents are the deliverables, but I learned so much more through our conversations.”
Data Scientist, Cyber Security, APAC

“Five years ago, my severance package included the services from one of Dallas’s top rated outplacement firms. They provided me with interviewing skills along with an updated bio and resume. However, the quality advice, knowledgeable insight, and the very impressive bio and resume that Paula recently provided me were all far superior. Paula’s services and guidance are absolutely top notch and I will recommend her to both friends and business colleagues.”
Senior Investment Portfolio Manager

“Paula has a special and very unique skillset. She has the ability to deeply understand talented executive backgrounds and present them in a succinct, clear and attractive fashion whether in the forum of written bio/cv or via social media.”
Managing Director, International M&A

“Paula was immensely helpful in providing guidance, content expertise, and a fresh new look at the value of my experience in my resume, executive bio, and LinkedIn profile. Her innate ability to also capture who I really am in these artifacts is an added bonus. I highly recommend Paula whether you are looking for a new role, Board seat, or just need a powerful and refreshed articulation of who you are and where you want to go.”
CIO, Healthcare

“The Topgrading interview went extremely well I feel. ….the preparation and guidance from you made this a much better experience than I thought it would be. Thanks so much for everything. It really made a difference.”
Executive interviewing for a Director of Software Engineering position

 

“After a great deal of consideration, I decided to work out a better situation at my current job. I do appreciate your effort to help inform my decision. You were a wealth of knowledge!”
CEO, Technology Security Firm

“The search firm called me first thing Monday morning to tell me three times how excellent the letter was! Always great to work with you. I learn something new every time we connect.”
Candidate for President of Nonprofit Organization

“Just got a new CIO job! Paula, you helped me break out of the brain freeze and get it across the line. I have used our foundation for the last 4 years with great success.”
CIO

“I have recently accepted a Managing Director position at a major technology advisory services firm. This is a Partner-level position in the company, so it is the forward that you and I had discussed as my focus in my next role. I will be helping build a new service line within the firm focused on Enterprise Technology, Strategy, and Innovation. It’s a great opportunity for me and provides the type of leadership role I was looking for. I want to thank you for your help in not only recreating my resume but also helping me to think about how I present myself in a different manner. The resume got great reviews, and the table that you built with all my previous project experience generated multiple comments on how effective it was and how it showed my broad background. All the work we put in over the 2 sessions paid off and my resume really had a big impact on how I was received by recruiters. I had interviews with 8 different companies based on their review of my background with this new resume – so that speaks volumes to how effective it was. Thank you from one of your “graduates”, for your help during the start of my process.”
Yellow Brick Path Executive Client

“I have good news! I accepted a terrific job with [major hospital] in Case Management. I could not have done this without your help and expertise. My final interview was with the President of the hospital, and I knew I was prepared after working with you. Thank you!”
Case Management Executive, Major Hospital

“I hadn’t even considered updating my resume or getting ready for a job search effort in more than 20 years, so obviously I had both some trepidation and skepticism about this process. Not being in a state of immediate need made this investment a difficult decision initially. It shouldn’t have been. In fact, I should have done it sooner. My experience with you has resoundingly addressed my initial concerns. I am proud of the resume and bio we created together, and I also feel much more comfortable about where I am today and the prospects for an active search effort, when and if that time comes. I am more relaxed and confident as a result – and that benefits both myself and my current employer.”
CEO, Medical Device Company

“Your strategies and ideas energized me and I greatly appreciate it! You’re the Best!”
CEO, Mid-size Company

“I am so appreciative of how thorough you are in your process.”

Healthcare Management Executive

“Please feel good knowing your excellent help in creating my resume and coaching me played a role in my getting this promotion. This was the very reason for working with you to develop the resume to make this large jump up. It is a significant promotion. You are much appreciated.”
SVP Technology, Financial Services

“My time spent with you was the first time I sat down to really focus on who I was as a professional. The process helped me nail down 65 pages I wrote for my promotion package, which I turned in the day before I was invited to apply to the position at another university. By the time I got to my campus interview, there was no question how everything hung together. I left campus knowing I just got myself the job. Obviously very junior for such a high-level position. When people asked me about the process, I let everyone know how important working with you was. While I don’t think I ever sent the actual resume out, the process was invaluable. Thank you!!”
University Assistant Provost

Vice President, Customer Relationship Management Services

“Use my bio all the time!”
CIO, Fortune 500 Food & Beverage Company

“I learned so much from working with you. I accepted a position at [a public policy think tank] that allows me to interact with the level of donors that I’ve worked with in the past and be involved with policy instead of the crazy campaign life. I’m not sure I could have dreamed up a more perfect position. Thank you for all your help on my journey.”

“You helped me with my resume probably two years ago. I know you probably don’t know this but you provided me some advice and guidance that I will never forget and I am very very grateful! You asked me who I was going to share my resume with and when I said I couldn’t think of anyone – you said “I bet for the last 10 years you kept your head down at your desk and just worked hard” – and you know what you were exactly right. From that day forward I have made networking an important part of my life.”

I only wish I had found you earlier in my career!”
