“I have known and worked with David for over 20 years, most recently partnering with me in my career search and resume development. He is insightful, strategic, analytical, collaborative and a great mentor. His years of experience in business and marketing as well as a manager of people delivers in-depth knowledge across many industries and positions to translate into a winning resume. He takes the time to probe and to understand the direction that the job search candidate wants to pursue. Our working dialogue was extremely helpful in looking at all possible areas to pursue, and then develop resume versions to match. David is a great communicator and always makes himself available for questions with very thorough follow-through. Highly recommend” - V.M., Integrated Marketing Leader
