Healing & Money Workshop Review
I really enjoyed the presentation. I think that the presentation was full of valuable information. I really liked how you had steps for each point you were making.
Healing & Money Workshop Review
Your “speaking voice” was very clear and easy to understand. You spoke at a cadence that allowed the listener to focus on what you were saying and not struggle to catch up. I think you did a great job with the presentation.
Healing & Money Workshop Review
Hi Debbie!! I just wanted to reach out to you and say thank you!!! You are a god send! I got so many offers since you did my resume!!! I just accepted my Final Job offer for an HR assistant position!!! I got 5 other offers as well ☺️ My entire office is amazed at how you helped and they have all asked me for your contact!! I wanted to apologize, I was so excited to get them in the door I forgot to ask if it was okay for me to give them your contact info.
BTW…. Thank you so much for your help on the USAJOBS resume. If it wasn’t for what you with my resume and the applications we submitted together, I would have never gotten so many call backs for GS jobs. Especially on this last one. I honestly have never gotten as far as to an in-person interview on any GS job I’ve applied since I retired. You made the difference!
Oh wow. You’re fast. …. Friend! I love it 🥰!!! Seriously. You have saved the day and transformed my resume in less than 15 minutes. This is your calling. Thank you so much!”
