What people are saying...
"I was impressed from our earliest conversations with the basic philosophy you have built your job search process upon, namely, invest time in truly knowing yourself before commencing the quest. You were an excellent teacher of the direct marketing resume concept and I grew from a novice job candidate to a proficient and professional job candidate..."

"It is JUST SO INTERESTING that these opportunities came up around the same time. And that I got the chance to interview for both, and both are interested! All of your concepts work, it just sometimes takes a while to get the materials and networking really going. Once your tools are strong from a marketing standpoint, and you have enough presence out in the marketplace through networking, AND you get comfortable with the interviewing, at some point things just open up. I’ve seen it time and time again!
Thanks again for all of your influence in all the right directions! I think I love my 1-pager most of all. It’s the closest to a brand statement. Thank you!"

“Scott has in-depth knowledge of today's hiring process and what one's resume should reflect in order to stand out from the crowd of applicants. I enjoyed working with him and thought he brought real value to my current search.”
Cameron Thomas
Denver, CO
"Scott, your system for analyzing the job spec to help modify the resume and being able to "dig down to the pain" enabled me to pull out stories from my past experiences and match them to the problems the hiring manager wanted to solve. During the interviews, I was able to ask pointed questions to get the interviewer to open up to me about their current issues and then allowed me to then pull out stories that would explain how I have solved similar problems in the past.
Selling for the NO" gave me the courage to actually go into an interview and ensure that the hiring manager knew what/who they were getting. There were no pretenses, no pulling the wool over their and my eyes and no selling myself into a job that I wasn't suitable for."

"I wanted to stand up on the table, jump up and down and tell everyone in the room that they are nuts if they don't sign up for your group class. I will be recommending your services every time I see a need for them...you're the real deal and the cost is more than reasonable. People don't understand (hopefully more are realizing) what they're getting for the money."
Miriam Taylor
Vocational Counselor - Denver, CO
"You know exactly where you stand with Scott, a rare and refreshing alternative to the majority of his (and my) peers. Scott brings to the table a blend of dry wit and incisive people skills that allows him, frankly, to cut through the chaff and find gold where gold was not suspected. I recommend him highly.”

“I developed an understanding of what it is I really do well, who I do it for and why it's important to them. Seems like something I should have known but I didn't. The class helped me focus and go after the right things vs. everything in my job search! By looking at what set me apart, who I would work for and what is important to them I was able to change my messaging to really appeal their needs and interests. My resume went from a laundry list of activities that I've done to short stories about accomplishments that would be important to my future boss.
What changed the most for me was messaging in my resume, and my attitude! Knowing what I should do, how to communicate to the right people, and some of the tools really changed my attitude from feeling down about not being able to find a job, to confident that I would find a job that was right for me. If you're considering the Bobsled - do it!”

"I learned a lot about what I didn't know and that I needed to really change the approach to my job search. The content was real and showed me gaps in how to approach a job search - getting into the organization, asking where the pain is, understanding the organization, making my approach ‘them’ focused as opposed to ‘me’ focused, looking for the 90% plus job fits as opposed to throw it against the wall and see what sticks."
Jerry Hogan
NEW Contract Project Manager
Denver, CO
"You were able to help me focus and narrow down my search - making me look for what I wanted to do instead of what I needed to do. You were also very helpful in teaching me how to network better as well as making my resume relevant to the ever changing culture that we see today. "
