Collin O. Industrial Designer
I was applying for a highly desired internship when I talked with Vertical Media Solutions. It was a comfortable conversation that was obviously focused on helping me land this position. After we discussed my own thoughts, fears and expectations, I got a better idea of what to expect and how to present myself properly. I left the job interview feeling confident and ended up getting an offer 4 days later.
Justin D. Retail Management
The time finally came to move from a small local paint supplier to a much larger corporate organization. I really needed to have my resume tuned up, so I contacted Joel at Vertical Media Solutions. I feel that this gave me a better opportunity at the position that I applied for. Also took advantage of the interview prep service. Feeling confident when interviewing made all the difference in the world--Thank you!
Jesten M. Guest Services Manager
After completing my educational training, I landed a great job with a high-profile salon. After 6 months, a management position became available and I wanted to apply. I have very little experience writing a resume and for the first time, I really needed one, especially after I heard a tenured employee was applying too! V M S helped me create an amazing resume and coached me on how to interview. I felt confident and collected and the following day I received an offer letter! I'm so grateful! Thanks so much!
Gene K. Engineering Manager
Earlier in my career I was placed at a company by The Stephen J. Group. After many years of service I was laid off due to the economy. I called my old recruiter who put me in touch with VMS. We worked together to create a better resume that amplified my abilities. If your'e like me you know how to do your job, not write professional resumes. Leave this up to the pros! I was also able to write off the cost of the services on my 2008 tax return! You cant beat that!
Bob W. Stamping Supervisor
After getting laid off for the third time in less than five years I thought I was a pro at resumes. After adding my info to Yahoo and Career Builder I just sat and waited for the calls that never came. Big mistake. I called Vertical Media Solutions for some help. They reviewed my resume and made several edits and helped me come up with accomplishments. Now when I apply for jobs I've been getting call backs. I feel much better about my chances. Thanks guys.
Caroline P. Vice President Sales
I was recently invited to interview for a promotion at my job. The day before my scheduled meeting I became a little nervous. It had been almost 5 years since my last interview. I called Vertical Media Solutions looking for some guidance. I was pleased with the interview preparation service they provided. After I hung up the phone I reviewed my notes and practiced with my husband. The next day I arrived at my interview well rested, confident and prepared for the challenge. I got the promotion!
