“Ricki is one of the easiest individuals for me to recommend – with my recommendation and Ricki’s expertise, my brother-in-law successfully worked with Ricki as well after exiting the military. Ricki’s extensive experience in working with attorneys and other professionals enabled her to help me to understand and use the tools available to me to expand employment and business opportunities and to recognize and better convey my experience and strengths. This new understanding and recognition empower me to focus my attention on those opportunities that matter most to me (which Ricki also helped me to recognize through various studies and evaluations) and to advocate to the decision makers related to those opportunities the value-add I bring to the table.
In short, Ricki is a remarkable coach that helps you think outside of the box you don’t even know you are in and continues to stand by you as you move forward in your career.
I highly recommend Ricki.” July 12, 2012

Ted,
I did it I got my dream job. As you can see below it is a position I’m better suited for.
Taking that 2 months and learning the freight broker side of the industry helped land this position. I have been here since last Wednesday and I trained with the President/ owner for 2 days. Now it is mine to run and grow while he runs his sister company.
The resume is what impressed him and got me in the door. We never had a phone interview. He called me last Monday I went on the interview Tuesday it lasted about 2 hours which at some point included meeting the CFO. He called me late that afternoon and made the offer. I started on Wednesday.
One thing to note to your clients, more and more companies are listing with Craigs list. It cost less and they get less response. He only received 30 responses and mine went to the top of his pile thanks again to the resume. Education never entered the picture with him. Thanks for all your help with the resume and the confidence you gave me on the coaching side.
Thanks,
David Hardy, Vice President
