Resume Writing Testimonial
Heather is absolutely amazing! If I could have rated her work 10 stars, she would have deserved it. She was prompt to return phone calls, work on my resume, and went above and beyond what I imaged. Reading the resume she wrote for me gave me confidence in myself because it made me realize all the skills and work I have done without recognizing it. She helped me write a resume that looked fabulous on several career fronts. Apart from the work she produces, she is a joy to work with. Very positive, and makes a personal connection to her clients. Looking for work is stressful, and Heather is a breath of fresh air in the midst of that.

“Heather helped me rethink and refresh my resume after it had collected dust for a decade. She listened, understood, and provided excellent counsel. Her insightful, pragmatic and strategic approach worked wonders and produced results. She flat out “gets” it, as she understands the employer side of the hiring process and, equally important, has the gift of empathy for you at the individual level. That unique perspective worked seamlessly for me.”

Professional Resume Writing Services Testimonials
After nearly nine years of working for the same company they began to go in a directions I was no longer comfortable with. It was a bit scary thinking I was preparing to leave what I was familiar with as well as the people I’d grown to care about and view as an extend family. But I was determined that I wouldn’t allow myself to get left “holding the bag”. So after an extended internet search I ran across Heather’s website. I liked the reviews I read and decided to give her a call. After speaking with her over the phone I new immediately I’d contacted the right person. We set a time to meet and she really made me feel comfortable with the process. Her years of corporate HR experience were very obvious. She asked about my experience and the types of jobs I was interested in applying for. I could tell she really wanted to help and genuinely cared about her clients and took a lot of thought and pride in her work. I had one particular job I was very interested in with a relatively short window to apply. So she got to work and within four or five days she presented me with this incrediable resume! I’m so glad I decided to contact her. She is amazing at putting your skills into words that gets your resume noticed. I highly recommend her if your wanting a powerful resume. Her skills worked for me and I got that job that I was very interested in apply for when we first met. Thanks Heather! Your the best!

She was quick, to the point, asked the appropriate questions and got me. Within about 48 hours (far less than she quoted), she had created not just one, but two great resumes for me.”

THANK YOU, HEATHER!! A Shakespeare sonnet begins YOU ONLY YOU and that’s what working with you is like, it’s like participating in a Shakespeare Sonnet, so that vision and voice become part of your professional life. You helped me see my particular powers and qualities–helped me name them, dramatize skills and experiences on paper and in interviews– enjoy the moment of searching, and finding new ways to communicate in the world. You know the story. Walt Whitman sends Emerson LEAVES OF GRASS, and Emerson writes back: I greet you at the beginning of a great career. You ARE my Shakespeare AND Emerson, encouraging my every fledgling hope and professional desire. You lend poetry and passion to your search and also helps you find your way on solid ground with its expertise and common sense: how to write the perfect resume, how to write the perfect cover letter, how to connect to the new boss, how to resign from the current job, how to respond on the phone to potential employers, how to get positive recommendations from former employers and how to you use social media like LinkedIn and Facebook.”

“I have worked with Heather McBride on two separate occasions over the past 10 years at Oregon Imaging Centers for a total of 6 years spent working together. On both occasions Heather served as the Director of Human Resources. When I rejoined Oregon Imaging Centers in 2011, I quickly recognized the need to bring in an experienced Director of HR to assist with a planned organization restructure, employee training and senior leadership recruitment. I immediately contacted Heather based on our past working experience and her exceptional performance in all areas of H.R.

Heather has exceptional talent. She assumes responsibility, is a pleasure to work with and is outcome driven. She has effective communication skills, is dependable and has demonstrated exceptional performance. Heather also embraces change and was extremely supportive of staff and leaders through the reorganization process. Heather’s greatest strengths are in the area of recruitment, retention management, staff communication and leadership development. During her time at Oregon Imaging Centers, Heather introduced integrity training for the leadership team and customer service training for front line staff. Her effort improved employee morale and the patient experience.”

“Heather did a fantastic job rewriting my resume and tailoring it to the area I was wanting a job in. In fact she gave me two different resumes so I could chose the right one for different jobs. It worked great and I received several different interviews and in the end I chose where I went and now have a new career working for a fantastic company. Heather was also great at giving me career advice and guiding me in my career search. She’s the best!”
Sean Rodgers, Amazon, Delivery Station Leader in Austin, TX

“Heather helped me update and “modernize” my resume since it had been over 5 years since I was last looking for employment. She worked quickly and thoroughly to produce a really great product. Just got a dream job because of it!”
Amy Wolfsen, Administrator, Eugene, OR

“I decided to work with Heather because I knew that my resume needed some work. I tried my best to make it look and sound professional so that I could start applying to more career-oriented jobs and actually be taken seriously but I still felt like it wasn’t good enough. Heather was very patient and friendly while working with me. She helped me realize how the job duties I had translated into skills learned. She was excellent at being able to describe job duties I had done into a clear and professional manner. I was actually dumbfounded at the end result. I thought to myself, this can’t be MY resume. This person sounds way more professional and experienced than me! Not only did Heather help me with my resume but she also helped me feel more confident as a young professional and able to assert myself as capable and deserving of the jobs she was helping me apply for. I would HIGHLY recommend working with Heather if you are looking to boost your resume or job application documents in any way and put them in another league than the rest. Thanks to Heather, I feel much more proud of what I have accomplished and much more hopeful of future career endeavors.”
Gurunam Atwal, University of Oregon graduate, Eugene, OR

“Heather was prompt in responding to my request to build a resume for me. Having never had a resume, I was in the dark on how the whole process worked. She put me at ease when I spoke to her on the phone, and when I met her. She not only listened to how I wanted my resume to look and read, she improved on my ideas. If you are looking for a resume, I would recommend Heather.”

“Heather did a fabulous job working on updating my resume. She asked great questions and took it to a brand new level. I am so pleased that I was able to work with her, as she is extremely professional and intuitive to my needs.”
Jennifer Cantu, Mammography Supervisor, Oregon Imaging Centers

Working with Heather was an amazing experience! She is organized, efficient, and an excellent wordsmith. Her years of experience in Human Resources are obvious, as is her familiarity with composing effective and persuasive application materials. Her assistance in preparing an organized and assertive cover letter was invaluable.

Heather is very easy to work with, as she is thoughtful, insightful, and personable. I live out of state, and she made it effortless to connect through phone and email, since we were unable to meet in person. In fact, I was delighted to be able to simply schedule a telephone call or email into my day instead of working in the time and travel involved with a meeting at an outside location!

If you are looking for a simple, stress-free way to increase your “hireability,” Inclarity360 is definitely the way to go!
