6. DOWNLOADABLE E-BOOK: Job Seeker's Guide To Networking Your Way to Your Next Job - Research consistently identifies networking as an important job search tool — anywhere from 40-80% of job placements are attributed to networking. Networking can also be a way to identify unadvertised job opportunities — accessing the “hidden job market.” 
7. DOWNLOADABLE E-BOOK: Job Seeker's Guide to Salary Negotiation - There are generally two opportunities to influence how much money you make: when you get a new job and when you ask for a raise in an existing job. Money is usually the most sensitive issue in the hiring process. Discussing compensation often causes anxiety for both employee and employer. Negotiating an initial salary can be stressful; it doesn’t get any easier once you have the job and want a raise. 
8. DOWNLOADABLE E-BOOK: Job Seeker's Guide to Comparing Multiple Job Offers - You may find yourself in a position where you are choosing from among multiple job offers. Or perhaps you’re evaluating how a job offer compares to your current position. This guide — and worksheets — will help you with your decision.

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that hiring [Distinctive Documents] was the best investment I’ve ever made in my career. I probably have been repaid 100-fold for what I spent...In sum, to anyone looking for a resume consultant, I give [Distinctive Documents] the highest recommendation I can possibly give to another person: A+, five stars, you name it. You won’t be disappointed.

J.O., Editor in Chief (of a major men's magazine)

Thank you so much for all the work you have done! Frankly, I dreaded the prospect of writing my resume initially. I hit upon the idea of finding someone else to do it and that process was no picnic either, till I found you! You have made this whole process so easy and pleasant. When I got the first draft of my resume I thought, "She must have sent me the wrong resume...who is this person?!". When I found my name and realized that the jobs and experiences were indeed mine, WOW was I amazed! That was the best money I ever spent! Here we are a year later with an update, and yet another excellent job. As much as I dislike changing jobs at least I know that the resume writing will no longer be an issue, I have you! Thanks again.

J.C., Technology Services Manager

 Since our mailing,I have had six phone interviews with recruiters leading to being a candidate for Chairman of a {Name of State} based company, CEO for a {Name of State} Company and being introduced to two private equity firms by another recruiter for Board Directorships. Two others want to introduce me to private equity firms they partner with for proprietary deals. Finally, {Name of Recruiter} of {Name of Firm} out of Silicon Valley said the resume was among the best five he has ever seen from both a format and content standpoint (maybe all 5 are your clients !)...On the VC side, I received a couple Email responses. I thought you might want to know all of this. Thanks for the great work.

T.R., Chief Executive Officer

Not only will I be more than happy to endorse your services, but I would welcome personal contact with anyone considering using your services. As I am sure that you are aware, many people may feel skeptical about this type of service on line. I feel as though we have sat side by side at the same desk working on this project. Your relationship with me has been extremely personal, specific, and customized to meet my needs and certainly exceed my expectations. I can't thank you enough.

L.P., Vice President of Logistics and Distribution

Great news ! After not much success with my job search I had your company rewrite my resume. Immediately after I received my resume from you I started to get interviews. Sometimes up to 3 different companies a week. After only 4 weeks of interviewing I am delighted to tell you today I have received a job offer for a wonderful job. Not only is a great company and location it is also a pay increase of 28%. I did the math and the cost of my resume has only 1% of my pay increase. The Human Resource Manager said that she literally received hundreds of resume and mine stood out among all of them. Thanks so much.

M.B., Operations Coordinator

I am so pleased with the quality of your work and the service received that I have already passed your name and website address to several people!! It is amazing and quite impressive to me how you so easily interpret a couple of sentences in a profile and turn it into a professional document that articulates and describes my roles and responsibilities to a tee! Very rarely do I encounter such great customer service and response times to inquiries...that alone sold me on your services. I will continue working with you for as long as you stay in business or until I retire from working! Again, thanks so much on a great job...I'll keep you posted on my job search success.

E.D., Marketing & Corporate Communications Director

I was a little hesitant to use your service because of the cost, but you have exceeded all of my expectations. I couldn't be happier with the results! I am so excited and proud to send out my resume. Thank you for offering a top-notch service! You're the best!

P.C., General Manager

I just wanted to thank you very much for your help. The resume is great and I can't believe that I did not do it sooner. It is a night and day difference between my old and new resume. After I received the resume the response went from 1 in 10 [originally] to 9 in 10 [with new resume]. I have accepted a position with a large insurance company less than 4 wks after I received the resume. Again, thank you very much and I am sure that I will be back to update my resume.

R.B., Senior Financial and Business Analyst

Now that the search is over, I want you to know that I have had more responses to my resume in the last 3 months than at any other time in my career. I have had multiple responses to cold call mailings. (a ten fold increase over previous cold job searches) Also the e-distribution you sent out netted me 1 phone interview per every 8-10 e-mail response. Excellent!! I am a faithful supporter of your work. Thanks again.

J.W., Plant Operations Director
