"There are always vacancies. Organizations are born, organizations expand, workers become restless, quit, change jobs, move, become ill long-term, or become handicapped, retire, or die. There are always jobs out there waiting to be filled. The fact that you can't find those jobs only means the vacancy hasn't been advertised, or you're not using the right method to find it. When the Internet or job-postings, or agencies, or ads, or resumes, don't work, there are other ways of turning up the job you want. So, if you're coming up 'empty,' you need to change the search method you've been using. ... To speed up your search for one of the jobs that are out there, go after many different organizations, instead of just one or two."

Everything was great and I would definitely recommend it to the others.
- M.D.
I just wanted to say thanks to the team that put my cover letters and resumes together - I received everything and they looked great, very professional. I immediately signed, stamped and sent them off...
- L.R.
I guess I spoke too soon when I said I didn't get any results from our mailing. 5 MONTHS LATER I just got called out of the blue for an interview for an AMAZING in-house opportunity. Thank you again!
