Thank you for all your help and guidance in preparing my résumé during my recent search for a new position. I am pleased to report that I have accepted the role of Vice President Finance and Chief Financial officer at a company in New Jersey, starting there late last year.

I certainly enjoyed working with you during my search process. Please do not hesitate to let me know if I can help you in any way in the future.

Thank you again, and I wish you all the best.

Sincerely,

Thanks! The ink is not dry yet and there is a good deal to talk about. Thanks for your help. You have been very insightful. I've enjoyed the process of being forced to think about my accomplishments and presenting them in a way that sells.

Mark,

Thanks again for sending my résumé to me on disk. I've taken a look at it and shown it to a few people-the consensus is "it looks good". In fact, I sent it to a recruiter acquaintance of mine who offered to give me some feedback and his only comment was "Awesome".

Dear Mark,

Just a note to let you know I have ended my job search with great success. Your services played a major role in this and I pass along my sincere thanks! I have passed along your name and phone number to quite a few people.

My responses to job listings rose from 5% to 35% after using the cover letter and résumé you prepared for me.

Thanks again for your professional assistance!

Dear Mark,

I thought you did a very good job in helping my son-in-law Mark prepare a résumé. Hopefully he will have the same good fortune that I had in securing a new position. When he began working on his résumé I recommended that he get professional help and I was confident that you would do a good job for him at a fair price.

I appreciate the help that you provided me in my recent job search.

Sincerely,

Rich R.
