Career Joy helped me to obtain what I consider a very good position with a nationally known company. As you know, when I came to seek resume services and advice from Career Joy I had just been dismissed from my old position and had to go through litigation to obtain a rightful settlement. Also I had age discrimination working against me as I was 57 at the time.
You helped me repackage myself with a completely revised resume which emphasized my accomplishments and strengths. This proved helpful in getting me in front of more potential employers as I received more job interviews. The interview coaching you provided helped me answer correctly the tough questions.
It took almost 3 years but finally I was offered this position which I consider equal or better than the one I had previously. My advice to other job seekers would be to be persistent and use the tools and resources of Career Joy. Its a jungle out there and you need every resource and advantage you can muster.
Easy to use to identify your key strengths and find the right career for you!
