Mr. Steve Thompson

Dear Steve:

I've just completed my first month as CFO at a San Francisco based company, and I couldn't be happier. It appears to be a great fit for me: a high impact, hands-on opportunity in a small, branded privately held company reporting to the founder/CEO.

Your firm's services still proved to be of great value to me. In January I left my previous employer of nearly 14 years, which meant my job-hunting and interviewing skills were a bit "rusty." In addition, I was trying to make a jump from VP/Treasurer to CFO. ITS's rigorous process of identifying leads, inventorying my skills and rehearsing interviewing and negotiating techniques helped give me the confidence I needed to effectively market myself to prospective employers.

I'm a strong believer in the ITS method, and would be glad to help out if at all possible.

Sincerely,
CFO

Dear Steve,

I wanted to express my thanks to you and your organization for all of the great assistance that was given during my job search.

The key areas of support that I believe I benefited from are as follows:

1. Resume development (Interview, internet, and one page resumes)
2. ON Line web site which allowed searches across many databases.
3. Weekly follow-ups by my campaign manager or someone else on my team.

There were times when activity around potential jobs seemed non-existent and I could feel myself getting discouraged. Then the phone would ring and my campaign manager would encourage me to keep going, to keep working hard and ultimately an opportunity would come.

She was right because multiple opportunities resulted from the hard work and I accepted a job at Home Depot Corporate in Atlanta.

Again, let me say thank you to you and your organization for everything they did for me in my job search. Without the team, I do not think I would have been successful.

Sincerely,

Hi Kris!

Now that my campaign has been successfully completed, there are a couple thoughts I want to share with you.

When I filled out the "Campaign Completion" report, one of the questions addressed the obstacles that I confronted. You and I dealt with those obstacles last May, when I met you in your office The obstacles were my age (60), and my reluctance to leave the Tampa area. You were very helpful in helping me with those issues, especially my age. You prepared me very well on how to deal with that, and how to handle a variety of very tough questions that, in fact, I did encounter.

I was also extremely impressed by how readily accessible you always were, and your constant upbeat, supportive attitude. Being unemployed was no fun, but your strong constant support sure took the edge off.

I would strongly encourage you to forward this note to your immediate supervisor, as well the senior management of ITS. Also, should you ever be asked to provide some references, I would be very disappointed if my name and contact information wasn't at the top of the list! You did a marvelous job for me Kris, and I am thankful that our paths crossed.

My very best wishes for your continued success at ITS!!

Best personal regards,

Kris Cavanaugh
Senior Account Executive
ITS

Dear Kris;

I just wanted to drop you a note of thanks and appreciation for all of your assistance and support over the last few months. Your encouragement meant a great deal at those times that otherwise seemed daunting.

The position I have accepted is as a result of one of our mailings. Obviously, this is not an organization I would have targeted or even know of, otherwise.

Again, thanks for all you did in assisting me; you are well placed in your position with ITS.

Warmest regards.

Anthony

Dear Mr. Thompson:

Upon exiting my previous as a VP of Sales, I was offered assistance from a Search or Outplacement Firm of my choice. I chose ITS for the many benefits the literature offered.

I have recently accepted an extraordinary offer as a full partner (with significant ownership shares) in a start-up, high-tech firm in my chosen field of scientific instrumentation. I am working with people I know and trust—in a discipline where I have a high level of expertise. I would not have had the confidence or the motivation to take on this huge opportunity if it weren't significantly due to the career counseling efforts of Mr. Mike Owens and the experiences I have had working with the ITS team. I have been able to take this exciting, entrepreneurial step forward because after an exhaustive search on the current openings, not one of them (although all of them were wonderful opportunities) struck me as interesting or challenging enough to accept!

I had calls and interviews - lots of them! But the whole exercise of working through the ITS program helped me to decide exactly what I truly wanted to do at this point in my career. The decision I made was to take on the risk (and the joy!) of heading the Global Sales and Marketing effort for this truly innovative new company. The ROI being a potentially huge payback in the years to come, being able to do something I love, and being able to "do it my way" — instead of taking a six-figure management position in one of the many companies out there that might have turned out to be "just another job".

Some specific comments regarding ITS's positive attributes include:

- The website is superb. Being able to access almost every Internet Job Search site in one place at one time saves a huge amount of time and effort over having to search each of them myself, one at a time.

- The Industry Databases contain huge amounts of data on publicly traded companies, which again, would be difficult to gain and time consuming to find by myself. Your staff of researchers willingly offered to research anything I asked of them - within 24-48 hours - and they succeeded many times for me on this effort.

- The Marketing Director assigned to assist me, Mike Owens, took a specific and personal interest in my effort with constant feedback and support by phone and email. (Just this kind of support is well worth having when you're out there hunting for a job! The effort can be discouraging when you feel alone out there.)

- The investment of my money and my time in the ITS program was well rewarded. I was quickly connected to some of the most reputable and largest recruitment firms in the world with a resume that generated numerous responses. That was an experience in itself — to be interviewed by world-class recruiting companies such as Kom Ferry International gave me the confidence that I could accomplish anything I set my sights on!

- ITS's team also offered advice on how to potentially change my career path should that be an interest for me, which I found to be entirely appropriate.

In conclusion, if your clients are interested in getting help fast to obtain a new position in their chosen field or a even in a new field, if they're interested in lessening the burden on themselves for the various search efforts it takes to get a great job, or if they are interested in the easy access to literally thousands of openings and thousands of recruiter firms, then the choice to go with ITS is the right one! Can they do all ITS offers by themselves without investing in the program? But then again, what is their time worth? ITS will cut down the time it takes to secure that perfect new position or the one job opportunity they may never have found — even after months of searching on their own.

My advice to my fellow job seekers? Keep an open mind, put in the necessary effort required to follow the program, make use of all the avenues available to you, and above all, pursue the dream!

Many kind regards,

Kimberly



Mr. Drue Pollen

Dear Mr. Pollen:

I'm the new Vice President of Development and Communications for , an organization that provides eldercare services in Houston. I'm also a very happy person.

Thanks to the wonderful campaign developed and coached by Lucy Coyle, I have embarked on a career that truly uses my talents, challenges my critical thinking skills, satisfies my desire to do good in the world, and rewards me for my accomplishments.

After being abruptly let go from my previous employer in late January, I was faced with the classic "Now what?" panic. In a matter of days after learning about ITS's services from Bob West, I was working with Lucy to get focused, committed, and charged up. Throughout my entire four-month campaign, Lucy was there to guide and challenge me. Her work was comprehensive, her ideas were thoughtful and innovative. She helped me negotiate a total compensation package that included even more than I asked for. Most important, however, Lucy was a total pleasure to work with.

I was chosen for this position from a pool of five highly qualified candidates. I attribute my success to extensive and unrelenting networking and to the innovative one-page resume, which the president of my organization said was the most impressive, succinct resume he had ever seen. "I found everything I was looking for on one page."

I also used the quick opportunity concept with a targeted direct mail letter to him following my first interview. He was very impressed.

My campaign was a success. My impression of ITS is high. And my appreciation for Lucy is huge! She is a true asset to your organization.

Sincerely,

Kimberly

Mr. Drue Pollan
ITS

Dear Mr. Pollan,

Eight months ago I began a journey into unfamiliar, sometimes uncertain and at times, unclear territory. It was at that time that I decided to resign from the only company and career I had known for the past twenty plus years of my working life. I also made an invaluable investment during that time, signing on with ITS to assist me in my career transition.

Little did I fully realize what a wonderful investment that decision would be until I had the opportunity to meet with my career consultant, Sue Sramek. From our initial meeting, I felt as though Sue completely understood my concerns, needs and style. The materials she developed, supported by the on-line and technical support services your firm offers were right on target, allowing me to quickly get started in my campaign with a positive level of confidence.

Most importantly; however, was the level of ongoing support, advice, guidance and patience that Sue provided and taught me over the course of my career search. She was a wonderful sounding board during frustrating situations and a motivational coach during difficult periods of limited activity. Throughout the entire process, Sue was always available and responsive, expressing a genuine interest in my success.

I am pleased to report that with Sue's assistance, last week I accepted one of the three offers made to me (actually over the course of the eight month period, I received six offers total). The position is in one of the exact industries and management levels I was targeting, and best of all for slightly more money than I was earning when I left my previous company.

While I am sure you receive plenty of letters commending your team, I nevertheless wanted you to know how much I appreciated Sue Sramek, how much of an asset she is to ITS and how fortunate any of your future clients will be to work with her.

If you should need further information or would like to use me as a reference, please feel free to contact me.

With best regards,

ITS

To Whom It May Concern:

Just a quick note to say thanks for your assistance with my recent job search.

I believe the most helpful of all the resources made available to me was Karen Shaw. It was extremely beneficial to have experienced professionals to use as a sounding board throughout the process. The discussions were great and really helped me fine tune my presentation.

The web site was great as well. I found it very useful for catching openings, but even more so for discovering emerging markets.

Although I felt I had a pretty good resume at the start, my intention was to sanity check my documents. I was happily surprised that I wasn't far off target, yet the resume you wrote for me was exceptional and useful across a broader audience. I also found the sample letters to be very helpful.

My new position came with a significant pay increase (35%), and Karen helped me negotiate a great options package that should help me retire earlier than I had originally thought.

Thanks for your help. I greatly appreciated it.

Sincerely,

Vashti (Mrs.)



Mr. Steve Thompson
Senior Vice President
ITS

Dear Steve:

I would like to express my appreciation to the ITS team assigned to me for my campaign. Kris Kavanaugh was exceptional in her compilation of my marketing materials and the crafting of my resume. My campaign was well thought out and presented. Kris was always there to ensure that I had all that I needed to execute my plan.

The Research Department was efficient in their responses and I always had the data I needed to execute my campaign. My campaign included novel approaches which I was able to use to achieve rewarding results. Sending out the Q&A was a leap of faith and required much courage on my part, but I had confidence in my campaign and ITS's approach.

Whilst executing my campaign it became apparent that I needed to go back to law school. I do not think that the situation would have been so clearly revealed to me if I was not executing my campaign. As a result of strict adherence to the campaign, I was able to get a position as a Legal Assistant withLegal Department in Tampa and this has been the best job I could have hoped for at this time. The company is a leader in the industry and opportunities abound. My value is appreciated and many allowances are being made for me. One of the most outstanding things about this opportunity is that my employer waited two months for me to start working because I had to wait for my legal documents, such as work permit and social security number. That is unheard of with such an institution which has the pick of the litter.

From the senior executive who first interviewed me to those faceless, nameless individuals in the Research Department, I say a sincere thank you. My experience with Kris Kavanaugh and ITS has been nothing short of a resounding success. I would like to wish you and the company all the best for the future.

Yours truly,

KENNETH

Lithonia, GA 30058



Larry,

I wanted to pass along my thanks for the campaign over the past 3-4 months. I particularly want to compliment Kris on her effort and support, She was a professional in every aspect of the campaign. The written documents were top notch, and my resume got compliments from all contacts. Although the campaign took longer than I anticipated, Kris never failed to be positive and point out my success in just the process. I believe she was instrumental in finding a position that fit my goals.

One never knows if a position will be long term, so I hope I can count on Kris and ITS for any future searches.

Thank you again, and I hope Kris leads many more clients in their marketing campaigns.

Sincerely,

Kenneth

Subject: Good Morning

Good morning Gordon,

I apologize for taking so long getting back to you. What with starting this new job and being out of the country for a few days, life has been crazy.

This morning I did complete the final form on the website. But it doesn't say everything. I indicated that my primary responsibilities were the identification and securing of funding and new business opportunities. Oy vey, that is only the tip of the iceberg.

There are so many opportunities around here; I am trying to focus my attention on the best direction to move in. Clearly, driving business and revenue for this organization is primary. But, with this being a relatively new corporation, where I see the real opportunity is being involved in and responsible for the overall "establishment, structure, and organization" of this company.

The CEO and I are starting to identify where the best use of efforts and skills can be utilized. Operations, Sales, Support....it all could use some structure. They have done a great job getting the business organized and moving, but now is a great time to refine the business and move it in an upward direction. Can you believe they don't have a process in place to effectively report overall gross margins, profitability, cost of goods sold, or for that matter, how to price their goods? Then comes into play all the consultants we have working for us and not having an effective Consulting Agreement that defines the relationship between the company and its independent consultants.

This is so exciting, stimulating, and motivating. So much so, I'm back on that hamster wheel of life again. In the office by 5AM and not leaving until 6 or 7 at night. But I'm enjoying the heck out of it.

I can't thank you enough for all the support you gave me. And I'm not speaking from the perspective of the tools ITS has put into place. But the support you gave me personally. You really gave me the motivation, strength, and belief in myself again. To that, I thank you.

You are a good man Gordon. I will always reflect on and remember the warmth, kindness, and strength you provided.

And, by the way, Mark's mother, my mother-in-law, said she had a very pleasant conversation with you on the phone last week. Hearing her talk about it made me smile.

My best to you and your family. Please keep in touch and let me know how you are doing.

PABLO

Dear Kris,

I am doing well.

Please know that I appreciate the help, insistence and cooperation.

By the way, the system of ITS works, works well and the support is just incredible. I believe in it. I got about 10 phone interviews, 2 site visits and countless letters This was with minimum effort and dedication.

. They were SPX Corp. And W. W.

Thank you,

Lynette,

I wanted to drop you a note to again thank you for everything. I've been here for about 6 weeks and I knew from the first day that it was the perfect fit for me. I've learned and grown more in the last 6 weeks here, than I did in the last year at HBO. It's challenging, but in a really wonderful way... I get to use my brain again, which is great! Thank you again for everything that you did to help me in landing this job. I use many of the things that you taught me every day and have been getting nothing but rave reviews from my boss and her colleagues. I look forward to working with you again when I'm ready to take the next steps in my career.

Take care,

Mr. Thompson,

I have recently accepted a position as Division Controller for the of Rayonier, Inc. I have been at this post for a month now and I wanted to take a few moments to let you know how much I appreciated the efforts that were made by the team that helped me out.

My primary contact was with Jack Welch in the Oakland office. I will say that I was a little surprised by the process at the start. It took me many hours to complete all of the information that was required by the process. I was thorough and I think in the long run, the time spent was paid back many times because it helped drive the process to the areas that needed the most attention. Jack was very professional in his approach with me and most importantly, he was honest with me even when he knew I was not going to like what he had to say. That honesty helped me take an honest look at what my plans and aspirations were and added some realism to the process.

If I was going to make a suggestion to any one in the process at this time it would be that every segment of the market is important and should not be overlooked. I actually had hits in each and every segment from electronic recruiters, through my personal network and even from alumni of my 'alma mater' which I was very skeptical about. The other tools that are available were invaluable as well. I am convinced that the help tuning up interviewing skills as well as negotiation skills was the ultimate reason that I landed the position that I have.

Again, Mr. Thompson, all my thanks and many thanks to Jack and the team for all the help and encouragement.

Dear Melissa-

I just wanted to thank you for the fantastic support you and your team gave me throughout my job search. The response from you and all members of your team was quite astounding. I can't even think of one occasion when I didn't receive a returned call within a two hour time frame and most of the time it was within a half hour. Even during the holidays you were there to help. In addition, if an opportunity came up and I needed some research done immediately, your team delivered same day.

Since I had decided that I was looking to get out of the technology industry and into something new I knew ITS could help. This is where the technology that ITS offers really came in handy. Both the immediate research and submissions helped with finding out more about industries I knew little about.

Finally, after finding a job in a new industry, but unsure of how things will go, the opportunity to extend your services is great. Whether my new job takes me where I want to go or I find that I need to pursue something different, your support again is most beneficial.

I don't know what else to say except "Thank You" for doing above and beyond even my greatest expectation of what you, your team and ITS could offer.

Best regards-

Steve Thompson, Sr. VP

Dear Mr. Thompson,

I would like to thank the ITS organization for their professionalism implementing an effective program that resulted in my successful job search. After 3 months of hard work on my own, with very limited response from employers, I decided to contract the services of ITS. Within 30 days, I started receiving weekly requests from prospective employers for interviews. With the coaching provided by ITS, my interview success rate became overwhelming and I received 5 offers during a one-month period of time. I finally settled on a Director of Sales position with a small, but growing public company. This position offers the opportunity to earn well over $100,000 with a combination of salary, commission and bonuses. The opportunity to interview with this company was started by a letter sent to the CEO by ITS. They did not interview any other candidates.

I am very pleased with your process and the people that make things happen at ITS. Thank you again.

Sincerely,

Steve

Dear Suzanne:

I am writing this letter to thank you for your assistance in my recent employment search. Your company's services were extremely helpful in many areas. In particular, I found the resume assistance and training seminars in Colorado to be most beneficial. I learned to promote myself to say the right things and found this learned behavior to be a great advantage in my search for employment.

I joined as the Chief Operating Officer. My new position is challenging and has much potential for growth. My immediate challenge is to grow the business of a break-even company and move to profitability. Within the next year or two, I would like to become a board member for either a publicly or privately held industrial concern.

I look forward to staying in touch with you, and thank you again for your support during my search.

Sincerely,

Mr. Steve Thompson, Senior Vice President
ITS

Dear Mr. Thompson:

As you know, I recently completed a successful job search with the assistance of your company. I engaged your firm to assist me because I perceived that I had several issues that might concern future employers including my age and being located in a very small market.

Your company prepared a resume and other campaign materials that did an outstanding job of presenting my credentials. There is no question that the presentation materials directly led to my current position.

During the campaign I regularly talked with Jack Bailey in your Pittsburgh office. Jack helped me devise interview strategies that were successful. When I received an offer Jack helped me devise a strategy to get a package of salary, benefits and job responsibilities that met my goals.

One of the important aspects of your program was the schedule that was established at the beginning. That was the principle organizing tool that I used to give this job search a structure. It was very important in keeping my moral up and regularly working to find the job I was looking for.

Your company has developed an excellent program that lives up to its claims. I am very pleased with the results.

Sincerely,

Dear Steve:

I wanted to thank you and your colleagues for all your assistance in my job hunt this past Summer. I made a huge move across the country and changed jobs at the same time, so it was especially helpful to have a very understanding person - Judy McVeigh - to assist me in my job hunt. Other than finding a job, my primary goal was to also assess the alternative markets I held the skills and qualifications to work in. Judy was most helpful in advising me on those matters as well as guiding me in my job search.

ITS has a wonderful multi-layer of assistance tools and I commend you and your staff for doing such a thorough job with me. In the end, I took an extended contract with an agency with which I had a short-term contract when I moved. 1 look forward to joining your advisors network over the next few years.

Again, thank you for your exemplary work.

Sincerely,

Dear Steve,

Thanks for your invitation to write about my experience with ITS. As a young executive who had just gone through a layoff, your service fees were a risk. This investment, however, has paid off in positioning me for future advancement within a new industry at a significant salary increase.

The challenge I had was expanding my network beyond my local area. Although the companies I had worked with did business on a global scale, I was geographically located in a very small market. Unless I started my own company, there was not much chance of finding locally a comparable salary or launching platform for future career growth.

Completing the CHAMP survey and writing my SOAR stories were very helpful in encouraging me to look at my experience from a variety of perspectives and then distilling it into meaningful messages to which others could relate. The resume style raised a lot of questions and feedback from all sources. Since I then had their attention and a request for additional information, I was able to present a more complete review of my experience and punctuate it with my stories.

Carol was a great cheerleader. I appreciated her willingness to provide an outside viewpoint on my search and her feedback when I discussed with her my final salary negotiation strategy.

My real success came when I stepped things up a notch and began using your research facilities. While still regularly contacting local decision makers, I also requested specific groups of recruiters for targeted e-mail campaigns and started making hundreds of connections across the U.S. This quickly put me in touch with a recruiter in a related industry who was looking for my experience and started me on the path to my new position.

Thanks for helping me achieve my goals.

Dear Steve,

I have recently completed a very successful employment transition with ITS and am happy to summarize my experience with your firm and offer my highest recommendation to anyone considering your services. My experience with your company was extremely positive and resulted in a new career opportunity that far exceeded my early hopes and aspirations at the outset.


At that time, I had been working as a self-employed architect for more than 10 years, and quickly realized that I had much to learn about the new world of job-hunting, especially since I had not been actively seeking employment for more than a decade. After brief conversations with the ITS team, it was clear to me that they offered a unique and highly specialized service, with a host of strategic resources and training opportunities available to assist in the process. I decided to turn myself over to their professional system and made the commitment to participate aggressively and enthusiastically on every level. Looking back less than 3 months later, it was the best investment in my career that I have ever made.

I was assigned to a wonderful career services team that was led by Carol Ruckel in the Denver office. I was presented with three versions of my professional resume, customized marketing plan, a wide range of resource material and training manuals and introduction to the magnificent ITS website and database. We started our search in earnest and worked together regularly for the following 10 weeks. ITS was with me every step of the way and offered continuous strategic advice, personal support and follow-up as we moved through the process. There are far too many details about the process for this short letter, but the bottom line is that after 10 weeks of effort and excellent service from my team at ITS, I received an executive level offer with an exciting national company, which I have recently accepted.

I would enthusiastically recommend ITS to anyone considering a career change. I am living proof that their services work. My life has literally changed as a result of my experience with them, and as I have been telling my team over and over again, I never could have done it without them!

Anita,

I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate your making an exception to the Right Management program and allowing me to use ITS. Had I known what I know now, I would have never used a traditional outplacement as a VP of HR. Going forward they are the only ones I will use for 75k and up management transitions.

There are key ingredients of the program which I find essential to transitions. They do not run a "cumbya" program, they run a campaign. I have 5 people working on research and transition issues as part of my team for the next year. They have created a bio (from my information) and resumes which are much more effective and professional. Their web site and data information is unbelievable. As I tried to start this business, I had solid data which turned out to be only 50% accurate. Theirs is 90% accurate and easy to use. If I ask for information on a company, I get it completed within 48 hours!

Additionally, they have taught me a couple of things about how to really network. Calling and depending on others under the thought process of six degrees of separation did not work for me. The process of reverse networking and how to discover unpublished jobs was enlightening. With their data and system, it cannot fail!

Thanks so much and when they come calling, it is a real deal for 10k! There is nothing about this program that is not proactive and designed to address the needs of people in transition!

Senior Account Executive

Dear Judy,

As my job search is now successfully concluded, I wish to take a few moments to thank you personally and also ITS for a tremendous role you've played in my finding new employment.

I know the real key to the entire plan was my relationship with you—being able to meet with you in Denver on March 10 was the key to the whole process. During the morning we spent together, I came to understand the importance of my marketing plan. You did so well in addressing my assets and transferable skills, my perceived liabilities and solutions for them, as well as industry options. What was so helpful for me was to establish with you job hunting goals and being able to have a firm action plan for getting interviews.

Efforts made before the interview were extremely important. The first day that my resume went out I had a couple of calls—one of which was the first call from the company that I now work for. I know that the effectiveness of my resume was due to the information you requested before our meeting as well as your expert skills applied to writing my resume.

The entire ITS approach is so impressive. One thing that inspired me early on was completing the SOAR stories. This work came when I needed a confidence boost, and through writing the SOAR stories, I reflected upon many of the professional successes I've had with really built my attitude

The power of the internet component of the action plan is simply amazing. I found the super search options especially helpful. The first couple of weeks it was so easy to apply for 25 to 30 jobs per week via the internet I did find that after the first couple of weeks, I didn't apply for as many jobs since I became too involved preparing for the number of interviews and calls that came. My job search lasted about 3 months—from March 10—our meeting in Denver, to June 8. During that time I had over 25 interviews, and more than 300 contacts. It was just more than I could manage to apply for 25 to 30 jobs per week during the final part of my search.

The level of activity worked just as I hoped it would. I found it very helpful to be able to obtain information about potential employers through the ITS resources. When I accepted my current position, I had three good offers in the works, and was able to choose the very best one. Being able to talk with you each week, Judy, through the ups and downs of the search was most helpful to me. Regular contact makes all the difference. I'm very pleased with my new employer after the first month, and know that I have an incredible opportunity with them.

Thank you again for the tremendous assistance I received. I hope I'll be able to continue to be a resource and reference for others needing the services of ITS.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Thomson;

I recently completed my job search and "landed' with DeSilva Gates Construction based out of Dublin, CA. DeSilva Gates is a leader in providing grading, paving and Infrastructure services to public and private sector clients in Northern California.

As the Operations Manger for WRS for the past 5 years, I had many marketable skills that were brought out through the SOAR process. The development of a professional resume in the various formats - electronic, universal, and interview; is what attracted attention and allowed the door to be opened for further discussions and interviewing.

The web site was very comprehensive and logically designed for easy use. The real power of ITS thought was the people; I want to thank both Debbie Miller and Jack Welsh for their personal and committed involvement to my successful campaign. I would recommend the service to anyone involved in a career search.

Just a quick note to express my appreciation for your assistance with my recent career move. The ITS process was a life-changing experience for me. For the first time in my life I approach a career move as a professional services project for myself, and I reaped the rewards many times over.

The result was a 500% return on investment. Not only did I find a new position within 30 days, I negotiated an additional 18% above the initial offer, and walked away from my previous employer with a $25,000 bonus. That wasn't due to the process, it was due to the irreplaceable intellectual capital and insight provided by Linda Hausman!
