     "First, I have an affi nity with, and appreciation for, Ken's consulting style and acumen. The rewrite of my professional resume was important, as were the interview techniques and interview strategy brainstorming with Ken. The marketing plan, guidance on job search websites, database access, and outstanding job search letter formats were all very helpful."
