Resume Writing Testimonial

Sharon Hurley Hall — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 10:34:50 +0000

One of my latest gigs is writing resumes and I’ve just had this glowing testimonial from one of my clients:

Sharon built a professional resume that totally exceeded my expectations. Not only was her turnaround time exceptional, but she took my average resume and made it extraordinary. Her ability to format, revise and articulate details about my skills and industry experience made me feel that using her service was the best decision I could have ever made. I strongly recommend Sharon to anyone who is truly trying to market themselves, especially in today’s economy.The proof was that I received positive feedback instantly from Hiring Managers and secured an interview the same day I sent my new resume out. THANK YOU, SHARON! – Lisa Sumner

And thank you, Lisa.

This week, I’ve had a guest post published on Ms Ileane Speaks. It covers my favorite Chrome extensions. I love to blog about web topics and tools, so this was fun to write.

Featured on EzineArticles

I’m a big fan of article marketing. It’s a promotional technique which has worked well both for me and my clients. That’s why I was so pleased to get an email from the EzineArticles team today, saying I’d been featured in their Expert Author Case Study series. Their intro says: “Sharon Hurley Hall is an excellent example of a member who has taken our advice as a package, instead of piecemeal like most members, and parlayed that advice into making a living with the written word.”

Check out the case study for my views on article marketing - and of course, contact me if you need an article marketing package to promote your business.

New Testimonial – Park Ride Fly USA

I’ve just completed a gig running a travel blog for Park Ride Fly USA. They were kind enough to say the following about my services:

“Sharon Hurley Hall helped our company create a winning social media strategy. Sharon’s expertise in blog management, content generation, and social media promotion was invaluable and she enabled our business to access these emerging sales channels.” – Peter Wertheim, Director, Business Development, Park Ride Fly USA.

Another Happy Customer

I’ve known Mitchell Allen for a few years now, so I was delighted when he asked me to arrange for a team member to write his sales letter. I sent off my client questionnaire, got the answer and got the work done. Here’s what Mitch had to say:

“Sharon and her team are awesome. They helped me figure out what I wanted to say in my sales letter, then they put it together so clearly that, for the first time, I can give an elevator speech when someone asks me, ‘what does your program do?’ I am very happy that this crucial piece of my marketing campaign is in place!”

Thanks, Mitch

Over the past couple of months, I’ve been pleased to be featured on various sites.

Get Paid To Write Online was featured on Find A New Blog. I especially liked this bit: “Get Paid To Write Online is a prime example of what can be done if you set your mind to a task, take advice and most importantly, believe that you can be a success.”
I was interviewed for Location Independent Professionals.
Jon Buscall interviewed me about content marketing.

Some of the people I’ve worked with have also been kind enough to recommend me on LinkedIn.

“Not Too Icky”

Sharon Hurley Hall — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 16:20:59 +0000

I don’t know if this really counts as a testimonial but I had some good feedback from a fellow writer looking for a good example of a writer’s resume. She described it as ‘not too icky‘ and we had a couple of exchanges on Twitter about good writer’s resumes.

“Happy Dance” From My Client

Sharon Hurley Hall — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 18:26:44 +0000

Here’s a great testimonial from one of my recent clients, to start off the year.

“I must admit, I did the “happy dance” after reading the articles. They’re perfect! No edits necessary. I’m not accustomed to that.” – Vickie Perry Barker.

I love it when my clients are happy.
