Hooking up with Michelle
Dumas and Distinctive Documents three years ago was like adding
rocket fuel to my career trajectory. I subsequently was promoted
from senior writer to editorial creative director and then editor in
chief with Muscle & Fitness, a major national fitness
magazine. Concurrently, I also opened a series of new freelance
writing accounts, including one with Men’s Health, the
world’s largest men’s magazine, and signed three progressively more
lucrative book deals, most recently with LL Cool J as my
collaborator.
In every
instance, the resume Michelle initially created for me, and the
lasting impression it leaves, cracked open the door. It’s an amazing
confidence builder to sit down for an interview with the CEO of a
major American publishing company and have him look down and say,
“Wow--that’s a really impressive resume.” And the fact that a
professional writer turns to her for assistance tells you how good
she is.
I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to
say that hiring Michelle was the best investment I’ve ever made in
my career. I probably have been repaid 100-fold for what I spent.
Above and beyond the quality of
Michelle’s work, the way she goes about doing it is a revelation.
Her adherence to process, deadlines and quality control is so
unyielding that I’ve been inspired to apply it to my own work as
well. When she says something, she inevitably holds herself to it,
which is rare these days.
In sum, to anyone looking for a resume
consultant, I give Michelle Dumas the highest recommendation I can
possibly give to another person: A+, five stars, you name it. You
won’t be disappointed.
--J.O., California
Superb Quality
I give Michelle my highest recommendations. Yes it may
seem like a lot of money to invest but the difference can be made up on your first
paycheck in your new career. It is my personal experience that you get "more than you
pay for" with the quality Michelle provides...
