Dirk, I just wanted to say thanks again. After
attending your resume workshop in Frisco a few weeks back and following your
advice, I created all new Monster and CareerBuilder accounts with my newly
formatted resume. Within two weeks I was called out of the blue on a position
the employer had not even posted yet. After 3 interviews, I landed the job as
the new Program Manager for OnviSource, Inc.
After 8 months of frustration,
I’m certain your advice and formats made an immediate impact.
Thanks so much
for your willingness to share your wealth of knowledge and
insight!
Respectfully,
Steve …

Johnson Controls will be my new home
and I’ll be the Director for Global Technology and Global Real Estate.
Great
company and great benefits, including a pension and executive comp deferral,
matching 401k, bonus and options.
OMG.  What an incredible painful
journey I had to go to, but what a blessing to have met you on the
path.
You’re always in my thoughts and bonded with me.  You were set in my
path for a reason.
My contracting role goes through 1/10, so won’t have
much time to rest except the week of xmas, and week thereafter.
That’s ok
with me though.
I’m finishing …

Hi Foster,
I have been to Frisco Connect and workshops organized by you a few times. It was most beneficial for job search. Thanks to you and the folks that worked so hard. I have just landed a job which requires me to start immediately. I need to commute a bit further and will not be able to come in to say Bye to everyone on Tuesday but I do appreciate your help.
Blessings,
Charles Wong

Hello Foster,
Just wanted to give you a success story from the Frisco Focus Group. I attended one meeting and actually spoke to another person attending the meeting that told me about the job at Carlisle & Gallagher Consulting. Today is my first day and I give God all the praise but I thank Him for your focus group being a tool for this blessing. Tell everyone I said it is worth it. A special thanks to you for allowing God to use you. My husband is still waiting and …

Hi Foster,
I just wanted to let you know that I accepted the first job and started today at Pinnacle Corporation down in Arlington. They came in at the top of my range versus the others that were balking at the bottom and that was a BIG increase over what I was making at my last job .
Thank-you for your help and encouragement!
Wish me luck!
Kristen Riley

Thanks to all at SFG for ideas, practical skills, and support in my job transition. The assistance in building a LinkedIn profile, honing my sales pitch and resume, and the incredible value of having a weekly touchstone and accountability group keeping me on track was key to my landing. I also want to specifically thank Paul Pitts and Bill Waring for responding to my request for network connections at L-3 when I asked during open session at a SFG meeting! Those phone numbers got me through to the hiring manager …

Hello Foster-
I wanted to let you know that I did in fact land a job last week! I am the new General Manager for the DFW Airport Valet operation. While I have no parking experience at all, I do have some people management skills which is what this job is all about. Currently, Monday mornings are a tough time for me to miss so you might have to wait for a bit for your pigs-in-a-blanket but I will bring them eventually!
Thanks for all of your help and encouragment and please …

Just a short note to thank everyone in the group for helping me through this most difficult employment transition. I could not have done it without the verbal encouragement, Linked In assistance, resume reviews, interviewing practice and being associated with a positive attitude group of people.
Using my network from previous jobs I was able to secure a position with a leading edge wireless component design and manufacturing company located in Phoenix Arizona. The entire processes took about 4 month from the beginning to signing of the acceptance letter. The position …

Greetings All,
On the day before Thanksgiving, I interviewed at the Gaylord Texan Hotel in Grapevine and accepted an offer for a seasonal position in their ICE! department, selling tickets to their ICE! show. Since this is a temporary job, starting Tuesday, November 29, ending on New Year’s Day, I will continue my job search, and I plan to return to my networking meetings in January, if I don’t land something permanent at the hotel.
Keep the faith,
PS: Till we meet again, please enjoy these zero-calorie doughnut holes: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
