Like many people I was having a challenging time finding and getting a new job during the recession.  With my group at work being restructured, layoff announcements and rumors of future layoffs, I felt pressured to find a new job opportunity and find one fast.  To add fuel to the fire, I’m a new homeowner and I was concerned about potentially being unemployed and unable to pay the mortgage on the home I’ve worked so many years to obtain.
 
After applying to jobs for a few months and not getting responses from employers I knew I needed help navigating this job market.  I came across www.AttractJobsNOW.com and Jerome Young’s story of being laid-off and getting a new job very quickly.  Honestly, I was skeptical about the story and his ability to help others get jobs but I decided to give it a try.  Jerome worked with me one on one and provided me with a new resume and cover letter and job search advice.  The format of my new resume and cover letter were very different from what I have used in the past but he explained his strategy and why he decided to use the formats and convinced me that it would work.  I applied to a few jobs and immediately began getting responses from employers (within 1 week).  In less than 1 month after the resume was completed I accepted an offer from my new job.  I was told by friends to expect to look for a job for at least 6 months in this job market and to be prepared to take a salary cut.  It only took one month and I received a higher salary after receiving Jerome’s services.  I can’t explain how happy I am.  I have told all of my friends who have been impacted by layoffs and downsizing to go to www.AttractJobsNOW.com and let Jerome work his magic.  When I saw this contest on the TODAY show, I had to nominate him.  He has an innovative approach to surviving and thriving in these tough economic times, he definitely puts his clients first and followed up with me consistently to make sure I was getting job interviews and he gives back to the community.  His story and business are inspiring and I can’t think of anything that has more impact than helping people feed their families and pay their bills.  He’s truly impacted my life and I’m sure many others who he’s helped to get job interviews and new jobs despite the economy.
