Frequently Asked Questions
I love answering questions! If you have any questions that aren't answered below, please send them by email!
Q: Do you have a refund guarantee?
A: No, but… I only charge 20% of the total fee for a résumé upfront. The rest becomes payable once you're satisfied with my work for you. Job-change advisory is charged monthly for services rendered. In other words, your financial risk is little to none.
Q: Do you guarantee success with my job search?
A: Using my services will give your chances a massive boost. But there is no specific guarantee of success. Success depends on many factors, not just the quality and effectiveness of the work I do for you.
Q: What job market are you targeting?
A: My clients are executives and professionals from around the world. So far, I have worked with ladies and gentlemen from the US, Canada, Australia, Europe, India, Japan, Singapore, and other Asian markets. It doesn't matter much where you're from or where you're looking to go. Job hunting and résumé best practices apply globally.
I can't help with technical or academic CVs, or with documents in languages other than English.
Q: What's the difference between a résumé and a CV?
A: In North American lingo, a résumé is a brief document summarizing your educational, professional, entrepreneurial, or technical experience. In Europe, the same thing is typically called a CV or C.V. (from the Latin "curriculum vitae"). To mix things up a little, in American English, a CV can also refer to a more extensive, second document that you may be asked to supply in addition to your résumé. This normally only applies in situations where technical or academic details are needed in great detail. For example, software developers may need to supply CVs detailing their programming experience over multiple pages.
Q: Can I see a sample résumé from you?
A: Yes. Email me and I'll send you a couple of sample résumés.
Q: Why did you stop working as an executive recruiter?
