Introduction: I could say anything, but I think you'd believe a client more than what I'd say. This 5-Star review comes from my listing on Amazon Kindle of HOW TO GET INTERVIEWS! STOP SENDING JOB SEARCH JUNK MAIL: "IT WORKS - THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE" By Scott "Every job I have gotten in the last 4 years is a result of using this method. Every job interview I have gotten in the last 4 years is a result of using this method." Helping job seekers who are qualified for the opportunities they seek STOP BEING IGNORED BY RECRUITERS for work they've proven they can do and START WINNING INTERVIEWS as IDEAL CANDIDATES - every time they apply. As a former in-house recruiter for 18 years, the applicants I wanted to interview and hire were those who had taken the time to identify their RELEVANT PROFESSIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS and the SKILLS they used to achieve them and then customized that information to the requirements of the jobs I needed to fill. They stood out like a meatball on a plate of generic spaghetti. The applicants I ignored were those who clearly shotgunned the same generic resume all over the place. Their "spaghetti resumes" blendedinlikejustonemorepieceofforgettablefettuccini. You ignore the junk mail you get at home. Recruiters are no different. They ignore the generic JOB SEARCH JUNK MAIL. I won't kid you: work is involved to learn the system I'll teach you, and when you're done, you'll be able to quickly present yourself as an IDEAL CANDIDATE each time you apply. And I promise you -- recruiters always interview IDEAL CANDIDATES.

Don Burrows Professional Profile system helped me win two new, valuable contracts! Heres how it worked: #1 A want-ad for a contract position got my attention. My Skills and many Accomplishments were a perfect match, so, I used my Skills data bank and Accomplishments data bank to adapt my Professional Profile to the job, then submitted to the recruiter. The recruiter contracted me within days. A face-to-face - - thats right, Not A Phone Interview, but a face-to-face interview - - was scheduled within a week. It was the easiest interview Ive ever had, because everything relevant was laid out. A week later I accepted the contract offer. #2 Using Dons method of targeting companies, I sent letters of inquiry to my targets, along with a targeted Professional Profile. One of my targets called me in for a meeting. I left with the assets that I needed to get started on their project, and had a signed contract within a week. Bottom line, it works. A Professional Profile is a proven tool for getting you that next contract, or a new job! Don delivers Great Results, he is a personable expert, with skills of great value, he is on time (and will hold you to timelines), has the highest integrity, creativity, and much more. He cares about you. Don Burrows gets you the attention you deserve by showing hiring managers exactly why they should hire YOU! A Professional Profile will get your phone ringing and will get you that interview. Dons targeted strategies put your name, skills and accomplishments right in front of the people that you need to talk to. Turning your resume into a Professional Profile will snap you out of the job search doldrums; youre going to remember all of the amazing things you have achieved, and youre going to showcase what you can achieve for your future employers. Creating a Professional Profile is a life and career-affirming process that will remind you why you love doing what you do.

Don is truly an out of the box visionary. The way he approaches people and their potential is unparalleled in the industry. Whether he is working with enterprises, teams, or individuals, he takes notice of the natural talents and goodness in people while respecting the pragmatic realities of executing with excellence. Don is a rare gift whose talents have to be experienced to be believed. He is aces in my book! Brent

Thank you, Brent. To potential clients reading Brent's review, when he retained my services, he had identified one company where he wanted to work, and had identified a new market they did not know they had. We collaborated on a Professional Profile that displayed his unique skills, and when the dust settled, he had created a position for himself.

Don helped me reinvent myself! Working with Don Burrows is one best things I've ever done for my life and business. He has the ability to help you cut through all of the mind clutter to help you create something not only others will want to read and work with you, but you will too!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
It depends on how much help the client needs and how much they are willing to do for themselves.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I prefer an intake conversation over Skype, the phone, or a cup of coffee. Working with me is not just a one-sided affair where they give me information and I write it up. Rather, for us to be successful, it is a joint effort. It's important that potential clients know they will have a good deal of work to do first, before I can edit / polish their work so they can become IDEAL CLIENTS. I invest a lot of time, energy and commitment in my clients and don't want them to "Quit on Themselves" when they get into the program and see that there is actual work involved.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
18 years of in-house recruiting and hiring responsibility in MARRIOTT HOTELS, CHICAGO PNEUMATIC TOOL COMPANY, CIGNA WORLDWIDE, DOLE and CHIQUITA 35+ years as a Résumé Strategist and Résumé Workshop Leader Fluent Spanish
