Jesse’s Story
Not only is my chosen field highly competitive, but at only 23 years old and with minimal industry experience, I knew that to secure my dream role as a Firefighter, I needed to do something that would give me a solid edge over other potential applicants.
After a disappointing experience with a previous resume writer and a pending application deadline quickly approaching, I turned to Cathy. I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly she could complete the work, with her fast turnaround ensuring that I could still meet the original application closing date with some time to spare.
Cathy’s work left me feeling proud and accomplished in submitting my application, something I am incredibly appreciative of. Her assistance was invaluable in ensuring the application process was smooth and stress-free.
Notes from Cathy
Working with job seekers such as Jesse is always such a pleasure. Their enthusiasm and dedication to pursuing their career goals is always very contagious. I can’t help but root for applicants like Jesse, both on a professional level and a personal level. I do not doubt that Jesse’s drive to succeed and commitment will carry over into a successful and long-standing career as a valued full time firefighter. He is one of the most goal-oriented clients I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. It’s a quality I deeply admire in him. I feel any fire hall would be lucky to have such an individual on their team. I wish Jesse the best of luck in his future career endeavours!
