"Dr. Colleen's service provided proved to be well beyond my expectations. Armed with my year end evaluations and work history, she developed the most communicative, accurate, professional resumes and cover letters I have ever seen in my extensive career. Not only did she capture the true essence of my professional attributes and experiences, she also delivered the documents in several access formats to mate with various upload and/or attachment requirements. Dr. Colleen is a true professional, but has an easy, intuitive spirit that makes working with her a pure pleasure. I highly recommend her services if you wish your resume to present your attributes in a professional, accurate, but engaging manner." ~ Clarice W., AVP of Purchasing
"Back in January of 2011 I was looking to have my resume updated and written in a way that would capture my skills and help bring out my work accomplishments. I found Dr. Colleen Georges website (colleenscareercreations.com). When she first explained we would do everything through email and talking on the phone, I thought to myself, “this sounds like I will NOT be getting personal attention.” I could not have been more wrong. She took several phone calls and we exchanged many emails before she even started working on my resume. Colleen was straight forward and totally honest in the initial stages, she laid out the timelines step by step until the completion of my resume (also she states it and stands behind it “nothing is final until you are totally satisfied”). I was totally satisfied upon the completion of my resume. Dr. Georges still touches base with me to see how things are going. I would highly recommend her and think her work is OUTSTANDING." ~ Mitch R., Warehouse Manager

“My position had been terminated in July
2010. A few months later, during the
time I was in transition, I met Dr. Colleen Georges at a local library where
she offered seminars on resume writing, cover letters, and interviewing
tips. I found the resume writing and
cover letter seminar very helpful. I had
a resume together at the time I attended the seminar so I was able to compare
my resume format with Dr. Colleen’s format.
Dr. Colleen was kind enough to take my resume and substitute my format
with her resume formatting which really gave it a professional look! The one great piece of advice I took away
from the resume writing and cover letter seminar was to use the same heading on
both documents so that your “brand” is consistent. I also took Dr. Colleen’s suggestion and used
on all the thank you letters I sent! The second seminar given by Dr. Colleen
that I attended was on interviewing tips.
At the time I attended, I hadn’t had any interviews so this seminar was
perfect timing. Dr. Colleen covered
several items such as how to prepare for the interview, common interview
questions and how to respond to each question, illegal interview questions, and
questions to ask during an interview.
Following the seminar, Dr. Colleen distributed all the material covered
so we would have it for reference. This
material was invaluable as it became part of my preparation to review it before
every phone screen and in person interview. The topics and the reference
material Dr. Colleen provided were terrific, as I mentioned. Attending these seminars and having the
reference material was a big boost to my confidence because it confirmed I was
on the right path. The resume looked
great after Dr. Colleen formatted it, the cover letters I knew I could put them
together with a little practice, and the interview I would be OK by reviewing
the material and thinking about my responses to interview questions ahead of
time. I had several phone screens and face-to-face interviews in October and
November 2010 and was fortunate to land a position in December 2010 after being
in transition for four and one-half months.
I certainly owe Dr. Colleen a note of thanks for the information she
provided. ~ Gary Z., Technology Professional
“Colleen is the best resume and career coach that I have met. I have worked with her on more than one occasion to develop a "private sector" resume and cover letter. As someone who does not work with federal resumes on a regular basis, she was able to take my cumbersome resume and produce and BEAUTIFUL two page resume in less than a week plus a cover letter. Her approachability, friendliness and ability to read her clients needs, wants and goals is absolutely brilliant and is exactly what is needed when you are looking to re-market yourself in any job climate.” ~ Courtney T.,

| “Colleen's ability to write dynamic, attention grabbing resumes is unmatched. Recently, Colleen assisted me with a resume to use during my transition from higher education administration into the legal field as a summer associate. With her innovative way with words, she translated my past experience into a transferable skill-set that hiring attorneys easily notice. I received over 20 interviews! Colleen's help does not end with the cover letter and resume. Once I had the interviews lined up, Colleen coached me until I was prepared for the big day. In our session, she provided me with tips on preparing for those difficult interview questions, we developed ways for me to show my enthusiasm for the job, and I learned the proper etiquette for an interview meal. Her coaching paid off. I received an offer from my top-choice firm. One very important service Colleen offers is her Career Coaching. Over the years, Colleen has helped me identify my strengths and weakness, and together we created career goals that were driven by my passions. This helped me identify the right field for me and I am looking forward to my summer associate position.” ~ Tina E., Higher Education Administrator and Juris Doctor Candidate I wanted to say a HUGE thank you for updating and redesigning my amazing resume and cover letter!
