This is an unsolicited endorsement. We live in uncertain times where the knowledge and wisdom required to survive and prosper over the long haul in the professional world is almost non-existent. Perry is one of the few who understand the challenges and have an intelligent response. In the last twenty-five years I have published fourteen books, each addressing different aspects of job search and career management, Perry Newman is one of less than sixty people I have quoted in my entire body of work.

After already investing considerable time, effort and money on a professionally written resume, to say the least I recognized the need to have another resumé expert take it to the next level. So with an upcoming meeting scheduled to discuss C-Level positions with a major executive recruiter I knew I needed a much improved resume to present to this top ranked executive search firm.

This is when I contacted Perry Newman and asked if he could produce a resume for me with a 3 day turn around. Understanding my situation he agreed to undertake the project and he delivered on all counts.

He synthesized the 3+ page resume I bought into an outstanding 2 page resume marketing document that drew rave reviews from the search firm. They were most impressed with how the resume clearly and concisely highlighted my value to their clients with concrete examples that validated my ability and worth.

The best part of this experience is I truly enjoyed working with Perry. He is honest and straight forward, and his method of information gathering and his writing style are truly innovative and highly effective.

If you are a senior level professional I highly recommend you seek out Perry Newman to collaborate with you on your resume and job search.

Thanks, Perry!!

After getting minimal results in my job search an HR Director I know and trust told me to contact Perry Newman. I did and shortly thereafter I landed a coveted position at Avaya.

When I asked why I was selected to be interviewed the recruiter told me it on the basis of the strength of the resume Perry created for me. She said besides standing out above all others it was the most informative and easy to read executive resume she had ever seen. Moreover she was impressed that it contained specific key words she looked and offered a clear picture of who I am, what I could accomplish, and how I would benefit their organization.

What impressed me most is Perry told me before we began the process that this is the type of response I could expect if I chose to work with him. I was somewhat skeptical but he delivered 100% as promised. I was also extremely impressed with the assistance he gave me in preparing cover letters and answering my questions about social media, networking and how to conduct a job search. This went way beyond what I anticipated. Since then I have returned to him for an update and will continue to do so on a regular basis.

If you desire similar results I recommend you hire Perry to work with you.

Preparing to transition from a 30-year military career to the corporate world is a daunting challenge. Though I received the typical assistance from the numerous military TAP seminars and workshops, I knew that I needed more, especially with creating a resume. I talked with several career coaches / resume writers who specialize in helping military members like me transition to the corporate world—all of them promising the “standard” package. Then I stepped outside the box and turned to Perry. He quickly set himself far apart from all the others. He genuinely took the time to get to know me, my personal priorities and considered what I was looking for in a new career. He listened to my needs and immediately helped me identify my strengths and personal brand, as well as refine my objectives. That’s not all—Perry inspired confidence in me and provided invaluable insight and feedback on the interview process and job searches and then worked tirelessly on expanding my network with an executive resume, biography and social media footprint. He brings it all—energy, enthusiasm, professionalism. If you are military and transitioning to the corporate world, do not settle on the standard promises and packages from the so-called career coaches that specialize in military transition to the corporate world. Perry Newman is absolutely the way to go—he listens to your needs and makes those needs a reality.

I hired Perry to help me update my resume; I had had it done professionally several years ago and it needed a new look. Perry came to me with excellent ideas and helped me to create a resume that truly reflects who I am professionally in a direct, clear manner. He is versatile and creative, and knows what potential employers and recruiters are looking for. He doesn't try to make you fit into a specific mold, but rather works with you to create a professional profile that can be tailored to the different positions you are applying for. He is very well versed in the social media network and understands the importance of a strong online presence. I highly recommend Perry to anyone looking for a new career path in today's challenging job market

Kimberly F. Development Director, Atlanta GA

Perry was prompt, informative, and full of ideas in our phone coaching sessions regarding my job search. He really takes the time to work with the client and give personalized recommendations for the whole job search package: resumes, cover letters, social media and so on. His experience as a recruiter and HR professional means that he brings great insight into how employers think and what they look for in a candidate. I can wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who needs this type of expertise

Perry Newman is the Michelangelo of resume writers. I was not getting results from my resume, which was very bland, and contacted him for a revision. We spoke at length, then he showed me some samples. I tried my hand at creating my own and quickly realized that this was beyond my capabilities. After he created 4 different versions, I stared getting calls for interviews about 6 times more than before. His work is fantastic..., he's easy to work with, and he truly wants to help. I have recommended him to many of my friends, and they have received equally great results, and I believe that you will, too.

Sonya W. - VP Marketing, Fortune 250, Sarasota, FL

Perry is a wealth of knowledge and his expertise has been a tremendous help to me. Anyone who has a initial conversation with him will be immediately impressed with his candor as he takes one on a journey of what the 'inside' of building a career is really all about. He is a true 'gem' for anyone who really wants to embark on a fun, educational and fruitful career journey!

Daryl H. - Technology Consulting Business Owner, Baltimore, MD

That you will notice when working with Perry is that he actually takes the extra time to understand you. Many people pay lots of lip service to this concept, but Perry actually listens, asks questions and endeavors to pull out the things that make you unique. He brings a ton of real world experience, knowledge and the latest thinking in the industry. All this comes to bear to help you present your best self and make the best possible 1st impression. It is a pleasure to work with Perry!!

Michael M. - Marketing Manager, Atlanta, GA

As a marketing person, I knew that my resume was bland and vanilla. I knew that it needed to be jazzed-up and reformatted in a way that got attention, but did not put people off. I did not know the sorts of changes that were acceptable and which broke the resume laws. Perry knew exactly what to do. Perry took the time to flush out key points/attributes of my past jobs, which had never crossed my mind. It is because of his thoughtful consideration and creativity that I went from zero call-backs to about a 20% response rate (phone interview).A resume is just a piece of paper, but unfortunately it is also a representation of you. Perry made it into a "marketing" piece, and recruiters started calling once I started using his Bio-Rez format. He takes a consultative approach to resume-writing, throwing in some career coaching/tips - at an affordable price! I would definitely (and have!) recommend him to others.

Christopher M. - Product Production Manager, Philadelphia, PA

I had Perry critique my resume and he was honest but fair with his assessment. He called me personally to discuss his ideas on how he could help my resume target my areas of expertise. He was courteous, straight-forward, and punctual with his service and I would highly recommend anyone who needs help with their resume or profile. I am sure that I had made a friend who I believe has my best interest at heart. Thank you Perry for all of your hard work!

Patrick W. - Software Support Analyst, St. Louis, MO

Perry provided me career advice and redesigned my resume. When we first engaged he was extremely focused on the service he was going to provide. Much later on in our discussion we brought up the financials, I really liked that about Perry. He was focused on the resume and our approach more than anything else. I would recommend Perry to anyone who is looking for career advice and/or to have their resume redesigned. Thanks Perry!

Lisa M - Teacher, New York City, NY

Perry Newman conducted a seminar on resume writing I attended that I found was extremely valuable and informative. He demonstrated a high degree of expertise and his presentation was clear and actionable. In addition, he was inviting to questions and gave the audience his contact information if they had additional questions. Perry is extremely enthusiastic about his work and I would recommend him for creating anyone’s resume.
