Testimonials

This section has testimonials from clients of Judi's.  As of December 1, 2009, the FTC mandated full disclosure.   One of the requirements is no fake testimonials.  That's okay - there never were any!  And yet, generally you'll only see first name, last initial, and sometimes a location. We don’t list full names for two reasons:

  • We want to protect their privacy. If anyone wishes to contact someone directly – for instance those who have participated in or completed the retainer program - please call Judi first so that we can obtain the person’s permission
  • Many are employed and need their confidentiality protected for obvious reasons.

overboard by working with a coach

My family and friends thought I was going overboard a bit by working with a career coach for my job search and suggested I instead read some books on the subject.  To their credit, I had done so before and it was not useful.   Then, I found out about Judi.  I had some upcoming interviews and I wanted to try working with a career coach again.

My consultation with Judi was very comprehensive and invaluable.  We discussed in-depth strategies for interviewing and she made several recommendations.   Perhaps most important, Judi advised me that they would ask certain questions based on my specific situation and then talked me through how best to answer them. Wouldn’t you know it,  I was asked all of the questions during my interview.  Instead of freezing up when they the interviewer asked them, I answered with confidence.  I honestly believe that being able to answer those difficult questions, was instrumental in getting the job.  I believe I not only found the perfect job, but I also found the perfect way to get the job!

Very strong and much needed program

I took the class because I need to be able to send a really strong professional cover letter that will have the reader read it and look at my resume.  I learned that I had a great opening paragraph and several other smaller points. The most valuable aspect was your critique and eagle eye. (That is a true complement and I hope you take it as such)  Judi I feel very strongly that you can really be great and helpful. I realize this is a first and there will be bumps. Once everything settles down I think you will be able to offer a VERY STRONG AND MUCH NEEDED PROGRAM. Please keep tearing up the letters and letting us know better ways to do the letters. This is invaluable.

responded to an ad using your techniques

I responded to an ad using techniques you taught and the company’s hiring manager contacted me. I went on the interview, followed your interview guidance and then followed up with them afterward as you showed me how. In follow up interview, I got the President of firm to meet me instead of just phone call interview, using the “I’ll come in again if you want me too!' positive attitude.

 

I got the job, and start in two weeks!  .Thank you, Judi. Could not have done it with out you!  So, everyone let's boogie the happy dance!

worth the money

I've been working with Judi Perkins over the past couple of weeks and I find her knowledge about cover letters, resumes, and interviewing to be invaluable.  It helps to have someone who has been around the recruiting business for as long as she has, help you re-write your resume and how to more effectively contact companies.  I think it is worth the money to have a career coach who can help you sell yourself at the top levels.

write them more effectively

I took the cover letters class to learn how to write them more effectively.   They take a lot of time to write especially when you feel like you have writers block. During the class I learned how to do the first paragraph and with your editing and rewording, learned ways to not have it focus so much on me.  The most valuable aspect of the class was getting the letters I wrote back critiqued.  I knew you before taking the class because I’ve been reading your newsletters, and I find you very knowledgeable. Having the class write a cold and ad letter was good.  Going over them and how to re-word some paragraphs was also really good.

Testimonials

You don't sell yourself as using magic and poof the person has a job. You hold people responsible for doing some hard, soul searching work. I can remember spending many a night trying to answer the questions you asked me. I truly doubt other coaches go this far and get this involved. BUT the people have to do their own work.
---Amy F., Danbury, CT 

Hello Judi,

 Thanks for that information. I do want to pay you for your time because you really changed my perspective on this process. I will take care of it tomorrow.  I just got an email from the company to confirm our Monday talk, in a very accommodating tone! I am excited about this!

Hi Judi,
You do a great job at presenting the Q & A. The general format encourages new users that have not worked with you before to experience your services first hand. Without that, I would not have had the opportunity or desire to seek you out for your one on one coaching. I think I really came away with a lasting impression of you when I purchased one of your teleseminars on interviewing.---Kathy V. , Newington, CT
