Liz Handlin delivers a valuable service to job-seekers unparalleled in my experience. Ultimate Resumes is far more than a resume writing service.  Liz offers the full package - career search expertise, identification of target companies, best approaches to the hidden job market, and the subtleties of etiquette and strategy that truly helps professionals reach the next career plateau. I regularly refer candidates to Liz, ranging from people with 4 or 5 years work experience to senior level executives, and am always impressed by how she makes their resumes dance and sing. Liz generously dispenses wisdom on a number of topics, drawing from her wide experience in business and recruiting. I consider her a true value added partner and would recommend her services without hesitation to any professional, recruiter, or outplacement firm.

Liz Handlin and Ultimate Resumes were referred to me by a client a few years ago. In one word she is AMAZING. Since then I have had many opportunities to work with Liz and to refer many of my candidates/clients to her. Without fail she has far exceeded our expectations both as a writer and a business partner/coach. She is a wonderful communicator with a great knack for pulling together information to provide her clients with a sharp, clear and polished resume that will represent their background perfectly. I would highly recommend Liz Handlin!

“I’ve worked with Liz over the past several years and not only do I consider her to be the most competent resume writer in the business but also one of the most personable. Liz took the time to really understand what I did and help me highlight the accomplishments that landed me the job. Liz continues to act as a professional mentor to me and has assisted me with additional services such as company searches, interview preparation and networking opportunities. I now consider Liz to be a trusted advisor and someone I would highly recommend to other professionals looking for high quality advisement.”

"In dealing with Ultimate Resumes, Liz's main focus was to come up with a well thought out list of my achievements. She made sure that my resume captured the attention of recruiters at top retained search firms. Working with Liz on my resume was a learning process for me especially after being employed for 28 consecutive years with the same employer. Her goal was to entice the reader into reading the rest of my resume; which she successfully accomplished. In fact, after reading my resume I would have hired myself on the spot!"

“I highly recommend Liz and her company "Ultimate Resumes" because, after languishing in the land of partial employment for over 1 year (in this tough job market), when I engaged Ultimate Resumes to reshape my personal presentation {my resume} I was contacted several times within two months and landed a better job than I used to have! Her insight, professionalism and skill make her a fine choice for anyone needing to retool their image. I recommend her without qualification or reservation.”

“Liz produced an outstanding resume for me, and was simply great to work with throughout the entire process. She's inquisitive, thoughtful and creative -- and clearly is a top-drawer expert in the crafting of professional histories and biographies. Above all -- and this is very important -- Liz will give you honest, clear-eyed insight and advice. This was most valuable to me -- to be seen and positioned as I truly am, without my own biases getting in the way. Because of her skill and integrity, I have the best resume possible.”

Liz is a consummate writing/resume professional with an expert eye for creating an honest yet positive, effective CV that connects with both hiring managers as well as recruiters savvy to the latest tips and tricks. Liz gathered information from me that I thought had long been forgotten and motivated me to think through my background for all the applicable ares of expertise to highlight. Without her help, I'd still be staring at a blank screen rather than accepting an offer to join I firm to which I'm delighted to commit my future. Thanks, Liz, for helping me get this done and doing the work so well.”
