"Jack,
Thanks again for your advice! The resume and blueprint are working great! I spoke with the Talent Acquisition Specialist who caught me off guard by asking for salary information on the phone. I deflected it. He then asked if a range of $XXXX was ok. I said we could talk about it. Not a bad way to end January. I'm meeting with the VP on Monday. The Blueprint is really helping me focus."

"Jack,

Yesterday I accepted the Director of Innovation position. They responded with the salary I requested and the ability to formulate an uncapped plan during 2008, starting in 2009. I did not pursue the golf membership fees as I could not formulate a strong argument for my position. I believe that will come with the VP position also.

I appreciate all your assistance during this process. If I can be of any assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me. Best regards,"

"Dear Barry,

I accepted a job offer as "Director of Operations" with (company name removed), a fast growing Manufacturing company in (city removed).

I got the job because of Arthur Group Executive Search. John Babbs did an outstanding job in helping me to create a superb resume and preparing me for the interviews. I enjoyed every minute of my visits at your office and the meetings with John. Arthur Group Executive Search can be really proud to have somebody like John as an Executive.

Overall, my "application success rate" here in the United States was relatively low, but my "interview success rate" was 100% due to John's support. Once I got an interview, I was able to convert it into an offer. At the end, I had three very good, but also very different offers in Industry Manufacturing, Consulting, and at a University. My family and I decided in favor of the best package for all of us.

I want to thank you for all your support and for allowing me to work with such a great and pleasant person like John, who really made a difference and shared his valuable experience with me.

Again, thank you very much and all the best for you and Arthur Group Executive Search.

Kind regards,"

“A great big thank you to Arthur Group Executive Search. Alan started his new job today. Without your help, he would still be floundering. What you did for him was so helpful. It absolutely gave him the confidence that he needed to believe in himself. The story writing exercise was such a growth experience for him. It helped him to see his true value. Having the outside validation from your organization was also priceless. Please know that he is another one of your success stories. Your process truly works!”

“After working nationally for 20 years, I found it a real challenge to hang up my road warrior shoes. The biggest obstacle was my lack of a ‘local’ network. Then, I found Arthur Group Executive Search. They had the network I didn't. They also had a well-defined process and was thorough in all the requisite job search components, but their networking was the real key. I signed in August and had a job offer by the end of the year.”
