Commonly asked questions:

What makes you different from other resume services?
Resumes - 'One size fits all', 'out of the box' resumes, simply don't get enough interviews, nor do they help you in the interview process.

Your resume needs to be customized to the needs of every position you apply and they need to demonstrate how your unique skills align with an employer's needs.

How are your resumes different?
Our resumes are both user friendly and reader friendly. What does that mean? It means they are designed to easily edit and customize to every position you apply. You control the narrative, and you are seen as a 'solution' to an employer's needs.

They are reader friendly. Typical resumes actually hurt most job seekers, are a chore to read, and worst of all, are all about you, not about an employer's needs.

With our Breakthrough! Power resumes, your proposed value is recognized in a matter of seconds, and employers will see you immediately as a good fit. And a good fit means more interviews.

We are comprehensive -
Today's job search is highly competitive. Sitting at your computer and only applying to online jobs with your traditional resume, simply isn't working for 95% of job seekers.

We provide one on one coaching throughout your job search to insure your resumes and cover letters will get you interviews.

We will coach you through the process of applying for jobs - customizing your cover letters and resumes - and teach you 'headhunter' strategies to get you to hiring managers, in order to get more interviews.

We will coach you through the HR and recruiter phone screenings to secure face to face interviews.

We will teach you interview strategies that will set you apart from the other candidates and demonstrate you as the BEST candidate to hire.

We will teach you how to get more when negotiating your compensation package. (Most our clients secure from 15 to 30% increased compensation).

We Guarantee Our Services
Our services have helped thousands of job seekers land the job of their dreams. Therefore, we are 100% confident you will to, and we will stay with you until you land your job. With our 4 and 6 week packages, this guarantee is offered.

TESTIMONIALS

"I cannot stress enough how wonderful Jay's approach is to finding a position. I applied to 29 positions, using the old method of posting a Resume. I followed Jay's recommendations, and got 2 job offers with 3 applications within a week, and getting more in salary than I was looking for! His approach works! Thank You Jay, your insight and experience has helped not only myself, but my family as well."
Mario R.
Branch Manager AVP at Wells Frgo, NA

"Jay is great to work with! When I was laid off it’s was very traumatic. Jay gave me the confidence, mentorship and support I needed to learn new interview tools and to work on “selling myself”. I have now landed a great new job! Can’t recommend Jay enough if your looking for a new job or a career change."
Brigid Walters-Guglielmetti RN,MSN,FNP,CCM
Executive Director of Case Management at AGH at Allegheny Health Network

"Working with Jay and applying his methods throughout my job search was an absolute game changer! I was at a dead end in my search, applying and never hearing back. Jay gave me the tools and the confidence I needed to find and secure a job I love, doing work I care about!"
Tara W.
Environmental Policy Professional, Highstead Foundation

"For those who are dead serious about getting a position that fits your experience, skills, and desires, then I seriously recommend taking full advantage of Jay R. Lang’s coaching. Don’t be a sheep and follow the crowd by doing the same old thing as everyone else, sending out tons of resumes and hoping for a follow up call. All I can say is it worked for me and It will for you too if you work it."
Terry Aurre
Inside Sales Manager, DocuWare

"Jay went above and beyond for my job search. I was transitioning from a Financial Advisor in upstate NY to a Regional Investment Consultant in NYC. Jobs might be on the rise but so is the competition! Jay is the "go to" for services related to landing your dream job. Trust me...trusting his approach got me the job and the direction I was working towards. Can’t thank you enough, Jay!!! "
Mark Aldani
Regional Investment Consultant, Catalyst Funds

"When I first stepped into Jay’s office, I felt very lost and unsure of my career path. I had been in social work since graduating from college and was tired of being overworked and underpaid. Because of Jay’s methodology & perseverance I achieved a career in medical sales! I’m now making double than what I had been in my previous position and I couldn’t be more proud of myself."
B. Litecky
Medical Sales Rep, Rotech Healthcare

So I made the changes on my LinkedIn page and went from about 6 hits a week to 91 in a week!
Jenny V.C.
Administrative Director of Medical Education

Working with Jay was a game changer for me. He trained me through every step of the interview process with his excellent teaching manner. And due to him I got an offer from my top choice company! Cannot thank him enough!"
J.Citozi
Associate Consultant

"Jay's ideas about securing work in the changing job market were a revelation. A guiding light out of the unemployment tunnel. His views are unique, though clear and quite common sense. I think of him as the 'Socrates of the Job Search'. After a lengthy job search, I went to see Jay privately. After following his advice, I was offered a job the following week."
Mil Samardzija
Director of Sales, SNS Staging

"It’s rare that you come across a standout career & job coach like Jay. I had the pleasure of working with Jay after selling my company. His ability to motivate and help complete my resume and interviewing documents was unlike any other company I contacted. The dramatic difference his book and coaching provide is excellent. Use Jay only if you are serious about taking your interview and job closing skills to the next level."
Francisco Sanchez
Sales, Marketing and Management Professional, Reliable Glass & Door

"After being out of my last position for 6 months, and having very little success finding a new job using traditional methods, I started using Jay's Breakthrough methodology. Almost immediately, responses to my send outs went from virtually nothing to between 65% and 75%. Ultimately, in the last month, I've received offers for two different positions. Thanks Jay, your system works!"
Tom Newcomb
Quality Inspector

"I wanted to say thank you for all of your help and your wisdom. I am now the Quality Assurance Manager for an inductosyn manufacturer in Valhalla. My annual salary increased about 23% and I have better benefits and perks."
Cherie Conklin
Quality Assurance Manager

"I have had a lot of sales training and have read many books on sales and business development. After finding myself unemployed for the first time in my life I was overwhelmed. I had not written a resume in 22 years. As a result, of adhering to tactics in the book and Jay's coaching I was able to start a consulting business and then I landed a full time job that I love with a software development company."
