Client Testimonials:

“Hello Dottie. I write to you with great news! I have landed a position with the federal government. I have gone on 2 interviews and received many ‘qualified for the position’ and a few ‘your name has been sent to the selecting official’ notices. Thank you so much for helping me with my federal resume and KSAs!” –Rebecca

“Dottie Hendricks was my resume writer and she was awesome. I have been seeking a Federal job for two years with little success. Although I have an MBA and 22 years combined military and civilian experience I was only able to find entry level employment at the contract level. I would occasionally get an interview or two but I was unsuccessful in finding a job I thought I deserved. I first bought the resume book and reconstructed my resume but I felt that I didn’t know what I was doing. I decided on spending money on a professional resume rewrite. I have had great success once I had my resume done. I have had five interviews and had several offers from all over the country ranging from the Dept of Homeland Security to other large government contractors . I constantly receive e-mails and phone messages about other opportunities. I have accepted a GS-9 job in New Orleans, LA. My first paycheck will pay for my resume and it was well worth the money!”

“Hi Dottie. Just thought you would like to know that your hard work paid off! I was selected for the position in the Office of Academic Affiliations, and I will start there July 21 as a GS-14! You are the BEST! The very first time I applied for a position with my new resume, not only do I get an interview (which I never got before using my old resume); but I get the job! What is even more remarkable is that we did this over the phone while I was traveling and we had an extremely short deadline to meet.

I had 3 rounds of interviews before I was selected, so getting the job still wasn’t easy. However, you put my skills and abilities in their best light, which got me past the initial HR application review. Believe me, I will be recommending the Resume Place to my friends!”
