Our clients get results!
Having spent my entire career in the private sector, I was unaware of how involved the Federal Application process was. Nancy guided me every step of the way from resume design to the completion of the KSAs and right up to the point of saying "yes, I happily accept the job offer". Nobody does it better!

The resume looks great! Thanks for looking into all the items that I will need to submit. Thanks again Nancy for a terrific job and all your good advice!

I just wanted to let you know that I have an interview for the job you helped me prep my application for tomorrow afternoon. They told me that they had an overwhelming amount of applicants and have selected the top nine for an interview. So thanks to your hard work, I was very competitive. They sent me the job description which is quite similar to my current PD.
Thank you very much for your help. Getting called for an interview on my first try at applying for other SES positions is most encouraging and more than I expected.

Hi Nancy,
Just wanted to let you know that I received a job offer for the Supervisory Quality Assurance Specialist position. The title on the organization chart is Director of Quality, Strategy, and Innovation. It is a GS-15 level job and I wanted to thank you for your help with my career. I couldn't have gotten to this point without your guidance and assistance.
Thanks again.
Your Friend,
Kelly
Hi there Nancy,

Hello Nancy,
I have been running around trying to get things in order for my new job. I start the 18th of September at 8:00 am....I have heard from our Admin and have the logistics all set. Not only that, they have sent me a photo which I will forward to you of the Team at a recent Team Building Event. I also was extended an invitation to a housewarming for this Saturday from one of my fellow Team Members. These people are incredible....this was totally worth the wait! I can't believe how fortunate I am.
I could not have done this without all of you help! What would I have done without you.....thank you for all of your selflessness and assistance. I truly appreciate all that you did for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you! May your kindness be returned to you tenfold!
Patricia
I received the official offer letter yesterday! I will be starting August 2. The great news is I am entering at a GS-11! I was planning on a GS-9. I am very excited! Thanks again for all of your help!
Matt
Flash!!
I got a call from GSA, KC yesterday. They offered me the GS12 'Energy'
job and offered 'saved pay' to the max level of the GS12 pay schedule.
Chris
Ok, I'm being hired at GS-11, Step 10! That's $81,204. The hiring manager had to write some sort of justification letter and submit it to the HR Director. I am to report March 24th. They also awarded some creditable vacation time for my military service, but I don't think it was much, maybe 4 additional hours for the year? So my starting salary will be very close to my existing salary. Plus, the hiring manager was optimistic my pay would increase quickly once in. All great news!
Thanks again and we may be in touch with you over the next several months for my wife's resume!
Thanks and have a great day Nancy.
Mike
Nancy,
I have never believed in coincidence. I truly believe that God brought you into my life for a purpose. Thank you so much for your wisdom, expertise, and most of all your honesty. You helped me beyond my expectations. Just want you to know that I got my federal job offer today with GPO. I'm a little speechless right now, not only did they give me the job, there giving me a raise immediately...a GS 11--$62,4067. Please continue to do the great work that you do. I appreciate you to the utmost. God bless you in all that you do.
Most Sincerely,
Rhonda
Nancy,
The resume reads well. I can't believe it is me!
