I would like to thank William for making my LinkedIn profile POP!!!! He took my resume along with a personal interview and transformed my page.

There is not much that I can say that his other clients haven’t. Bill is the MAN! The fact that he has worked with so many other veterans like me gave me confidence in his abilities. He worked around my hectic schedule and made himself available. The result is not only a more professional page but also…a more confident me. I KNOW that if an employer or recruiter looked for me on LinkedIn I am represented correctly. Thanks Bill

My information flows, it looks organized without being cluttered, and it really gives views a chance to discover who I am as a professional and as a person. My profile is now more personal – much better than the standard LinkedIn profile! Thank you again for your help, Bill!
