This is an unsolicited endorsement. We live in uncertain times where the knowledge and wisdom required to survive and prosper over the long haul in the professional world is almost non-existant. Perry is one of the few who understand the challenges and have an intelligent response. In the last twenty-five years I have published fourteen books, each addressing different aspects of job search and career management, Perry Newman is one of less than sixty people I have quoted in my entire body of work.
Kally Hudson, Director of Luxury Brands Marketing, Miami FL
I hired Perry to help me update my resume; I had had it done professionally several years ago and it needed a new look. Perry came to me with excellent ideas and helped me to create a resume that truly reflects who I am professionally in a direct, clear manner. He is versatile and creative, and knows what potential employers and recruiters are looking for. He doesn't try to make you fit into a specific mold, but rather works with you to create a professional profile that can be tailored to the different positions you are applying for. He is very well versed in the social media network and understands the importance of a strong online presence. I highly recommend Perry to anyone looking for a new career path in today's challenging job market

Perry Newman is the Michaelangelo of resume writers. I was not getting results from my resume, which was very bland, and contacted him for a revision. We spoke at length, then he showed me some samples. I tried my hand at creating my own and quickly realized that this was beyond my capabilities. After he created 4 different versions, I stared getting calls for interviews about 6 times more than before. His work is fantastic..., he's easy to work with, and he truly wants to help. I have recommended him to many of my friends, and they have received equally great results, and I believe that you will, too.

Perry articulated my concerns about my resume and then edited it for me and the result is outstanding. He reduced it by 25% and made my own positioning much clearer. I recommend Perry highly.

Perry is a wealth of knowledge and his expertise has been a tremendous help to me. Anyone who has a initial conversation with him will be immediately impressed with his candor as he takes one on a journey of what the 'inside' of building a career is really all about. He is a true 'gem' for anyone who really wants to embark on a fun, educational and fruitful career journey!

What you will notice when working with Perry is that he actually takes the extra time to understand you. Many people pay lots of lip service to this concept, but Perry actually listens, asks questions and endeavors to pull out the things that make you unique. He brings a ton of real world experience, knowledge and the latest thinking in the industry. All this comes to bear to help you present your best self and make the best possible 1st impression. It is a pleasure to work with Perry!!
Michael Manning, Marketing Manager, Atlanta, GA
As a marketing person, I knew that my resume was bland and vanilla. I knew that it needed to be jazzed-up and reformatted in a way that got attention, but did not put people off. I did not know the sorts of changes that were acceptable and which broke the resume laws. Perry knew exactly what to do. Perry took the time to flush out key points/attributes of my past jobs, which had never crossed my mind. It is because of his thoughtful consideration and creativity that I went from zero call-backs to about a 20% response rate (phone interview).A resume is just a piece of paper, but unfortunately it is also a representation of you. Perry made it into a "marketing" piece, and recruiters started calling once I started using his Bio-Rez format. He takes a consultative approach to resume-writing, throwing in some career coaching/tips - at an affordable price! I would definitely (and have!) recommend him to others.
