I think what is great about Clay is that he really listens to you. I had just graduated but had a 20 page CV and wanted to push my career in a different direction. Clay listened to my concerns with an initial FREE consultation  and then rewrote my resume and cover letter in a manner that both emphasized what I wanted and what companies were looking for. Before Clay, I had spent 2 months on the job search with no replies. After Clay, I fielded 3 interviews per week until I found a job.

Not only that, I also consulted Clay for interview prep and he taught me how to "close" an interview which was amazing. After every interview, Clay kept in touch and followed through on keeping me calm and helping me counteroffer. His advice helped me both get the job AND an offer that met me 100% within 1 month of contacting him. Considering the economy and the number of my friends out of work, this was a wonderful surprise.

Price wise, Clays services are a steal. I checked around and Clay's prices are less than half of what others charge and both his education (PhD in English) and experience (15 years)  rivals those of anyone else in this business.

If you've been out of work, give him a call. Its a worthwhile investment!!!

What a find!!! I've been trying to put my resume together for months and it never seemed right. Happened across this company, walked in met Clay Cerny, interviewed on Friday and had my resume by Monday. He did in a few hours what I've been stressing and fretting about for a long time and there may be no higher compliment then when a collegue reads it and says "That descibes you perfectly". Check out his site: http://www.aaatargeted...

Update: Got an offer from a Fortune 100 company, they loved my resume! Thanks Clay!!

I worked with the owner, Clay, to go over interviewing techniques for a job that I really wanted to land. He focuses not on just giving the right answers to the interviewer, but also on how to close the interview. The close is actually a lot of fun and it really works. Clay has worked in HR for a large corporation as a recruiter for a lot of years and truly knows what you need to do to make yourself look like the ideal candidate.  I recommend that you talk to Clay in person or over the phone before any big interview. You will be glad you did. Clay if you're reading this. Thank you for your help! I got the job!
