RECENT CLIENT COMMENTS

"Hi Bruce, I have read my resume and cover letter at least 4 times already 😁, and everytime I read it I am amazed. I would’ve never been able to put so much about me as you did (as you said in your website, it is hard to write about yourself). Definitely your 'reviews' were very on point describing your talent and gift for this. 
 
I will keep you posted when I get a job offer. For sure I can take advantage of your offer to help me with the counter-offer.
 
Thank you so much.
​
Regards, Mario C."

Special thanks for your support and helping me to launch the next phase of my career.  I will be sure to keep you informed of my progress.”  – Ty Moori"
​"Hi Bruce,
 
You do indeed have the magic touch.  Less than a day after you updated my LinkedIn profile, I received a message from a Sr. Technical Recruiter at Amazon of all places.  
 
How does the two hours of coaching over Skype work?  I may need that sooner rather than later if I'm interviewing with Amazon.
 
Thanks again for all your help! " 
- Alex

"I have known Bruce for more than 11 years now and he continues to impress me with his knowledge with the career industry. His advice, coaching and guidance over the years has taken me from a basic, green, Account Representative with a Fortune 500 company to an executive at a prestigious firm in the mid-west.  His ability to effectively write a resume to make you glow and get you noticed by HR and the hiring decision-maker as well on Social Media is amazing. His coaching style and knowledge to guide you through interview questions and scenarios is priceless. Lastly his ability to counter a job offer is golden. His "Inverse Oreo Cookie Method" works just about every time and was able to help me make more money both on the front-end and long-term with my new company. I highly recommend Bruce as a career coach and adviser.
- Marc Schrader; Director of Marketing​"

"Bruce Clagg can, if you are willing, teach you things about yourself that are holding you back from getting the job you want. He will coach you in the conceptual techniques that put you in the “A” list for interviewing skills, resume content and closing for top dollar on the job offer you'll get. A leader in his field, Bruce is a virtuoso career coach and a person I’m proud to know. - Mike McClure, Completion & Production Engineer and Project Mgr."
"Bruce, I am really excited about everything I learned in our LinkedIn session yesterday.  I have known for years that I needed help, but did not know where to get true professional help that I could trust.  I appreciate the time you spent training, coaching and guiding me through this process. You are fantastic!  I have learned enough now that I am going to have more questions!"  - B. Arnold
“Thanks Bruce for sending those back so quickly. You are a craftsman and I greatly appreciate your sagely advice. Thankfully the structure is there and I will try not to ruin your work of art. My wife keeps telling me not change it. To think that for all those years I was using "analysis" instead of the proper plural "analyses."
 
I would like to get the Linkedin Package as suggested for $200. Please send over an invoice and I look forward to working more with you.
 
Have a great weekend.”
– Kent B.

"I have worked for the same company for over 30 years and never needed a resume, until last night. I reached out to Bruce and he jumped on it for me immediately! Not only did Bruce catch my work history, but knocked it out of the park in less than a day.

Thank you so much Bruce! You are a lifesaver!" - Sterling R., President (publicly-held O&G)

“Bruce, I’m sure this is corny to say, but I wanted to let you know that the firm & honest direction you have provided me has made a big difference to my outlook and direction for the job search. You are doing a lot of good for your clients. Thank you for this, BC.”  – S.C.

​

​"Bruce was instrumental in coaching me for the interview process to enable me to obtain a job offer. I had interviewed many individuals over my 35 years of executive experience but had not been the interviewee for many years. Bruce practiced interviewing with me on a number of occasions, and gave me solid advice on the entire interview process. He is a consummate professional and truly cares about his clients well being. If you are fresh out of work and need a career coach I highly recommend Bruce to develop your resume and work with you on interviewing in today's business world. - Mary Kuniski"

“Looks great. I don't think I've seen an IT resume formatted like this, and I've seen 100s. It's very clear and easy to follow. Also, as a hiring manager I have never gotten a cover letter. I've been trying to write them myself, but I don't know if it had any effect. I would have been more impressed if a candidate did write one to me, though. Thanks!” – H.L.    

“I wanted to take time out to sing my highest of praises about my campaign manager, Bruce Clagg. Bruce has worked very closely with me over the last two months to assist me in completing my exercises and getting my campaign off the ground as quickly as possible.  

As a direct result of Bruce's assistance, I was offered and I accepted a new Senior Project Manager - Subsea Controls position with one of the most successful oil field services and Fortune 1000 companies in the nation.  With Bruce's attention to the finest of interviewing details and with a successful mock interview training session with feedback, I was fully prepared and "nailed" every one of my five interviews with key decision makers.

I was already a well-compensated and successful project manager, but Bruce helped position me for future growth and job satisfaction.  He not only helped me to negotiate a 10% increase in base pay, but he also helped me to become eligible for bonus incentives of 15 - 30% and keep my 3 weeks of vacation.

I am thrilled and completely satisfied with the results and the service provided to me by Bruce.  I would highly recommend any of your clients to use Bruce as a campaign manager.  Bruce is an excellent career development professional who knows how to prepare career seekers like me with the tools and know-how to reach their goals.”  – H.M.

"I want to thank you, Bruce, for your assistance in helping me find this new position here in Houston. The time I spent working with your processes helped me understand myself better and gave me the tools in which to communicate my strengths and what I offered more clearly.  

I found the process of finding my five greatest business strengths and incorporating them into key achievements was a truly powerful way to present myself. I know it allowed me to successfully pass each key interview stage with much more ease than I’ve experienced prior to joining with you.

The tools I used through my partnership with you, Bruce, allowed me to successfully land 3 different job offers within 3 days of each other. This allowed me the rare opportunity to choose the very best opportunity based on criteria that was most important to me. I was also amazed at the response that my resume received from these 3 employers. They were truly impressed not just with my background but also at how the information was laid out and how easy it was for them to see what I offered to them.

The best part of accepting the offer from my new employer is I will now have the opportunity to fulfill a lifelong dream of traveling overseas for business on an occasional basis. This long term career goal is finally coming true and is icing on the cake within this solid job offer. I look forward to working with you again in the future, Bruce, as I continue to develop my career."
– S.W.
I really need a new resume!
“I thought that I interviewed well! After a few interview questions from Bruce I realized I might not interview so well after all. Bruce challenged my thinking and brought me to the next level in the interviewing process. He taught me how to drive the interview by taking control of the process in order to get the desired results! Thank you for all your help ​Bruce... best investment I've made in myself.”​ – John O.

Yay!!!! I've forwarded your info to 3 of my friends so you might be hearing from them soon!  :) Thanks again!" - Alicia C.
