The following unsolicited testimonials have been received by Rick Gillis via email over the last several years. They attest to the powerful information Rick has to offer the contemporary job seeker.

Hi Rick.
Just wanted you to know that I started a new job as 'the IT person' at L***** Industries yesterday.  Most of all, I wanted you to know that I followed your advice in letting my friends and acquaintances know via email that I was looking.  As a result, a friend actively promoted me to two of his clients, and as they say, the rest is history!  Thanks for urging me to step out of my comfort zone - it made all the difference!
Thanks so much,
CK-Job Seeker

Rick,
You left the group energized and with new ideas. Many have rewritten their resumes and are attacking with new vigor.

You have done us a great service - thanks.

I am just thrilled that you would drive all the way over here to speak. I really appreciate it and definitely want you to come back! I received nothing but great feedback from the students who were there and I had tons of phone calls and emails from people asking for the handouts b/c they couldn't make it last night. That's fantastic!!!

I have not tallied survey results yet, but everyone checked "strongly agreed" that they enjoyed the topic and you. Great job!!! :) Comments were pretty much "great info, not enough time".

Enjoyed the energy you radiated throughout the hour you spoke yesterday. Your practical suggestions on what to do delivered while you encouraged us to try different approaches, was all the more effective by your connection to us.
Thanks

...I am forever grateful.  One workshop in particular "Guerrilla Job Search by Rick Gillis" was extremely instrumental.  He said to do a mass email to everyone in your personal address book.  I not only emailed everyone in my personal address book, I also borrowed email addresses from friends and family.   I sent out 62 emails the first day and 50 the second day.  I stopped on the third day because of the positive feedback I began to receive (and still receiving).  After several interviews on Friday, I was hired.

Rick,
I received a nice compliment for you the other day. Marie A** R***, who was at L******* Works when you spoke, told me about a couple who each got jobs after they made the changes on their resumes that you suggested. She was in culinary and I don’t know what his area was, but they are moving to Florida and his company is paying to move them. They are very excited. Thanks for your wonderful help.

Rick,
Of all the talks I have heard regarding tips on job searching, yours this morning at *** has to be one of the more informative and easy to implement that I have heard in some time.

I have taken my "Current Resume" and tweaked it to your format.

You are providing a tremendous service to those of us job searching. Thank you.

Thanks for such a great program!

Rick, I enjoyed our meeting yesterday afternoon at the HR Roundtable.
The information you provided, along with the suggestions, recommendations, and overall positive outlook, is exactly what we need! A shot in the ARM!

I hear you loud and clear regarding the "Save me money" - "Make me money" approach. Whew ... what a challenge for us HR types. (As if we didn't have enough things to work on!)

Dear Rick,
Short and sweet!
It was a real pleasure listening to you today at the workshop. I want to thank you very much for your inspiration and passion for what you do. I walked away feeling like I can do anything and the opportunities are always there. There needs to be more people like you in the world.
