Douglas Partners Success Story #1

Challenge: A discouraged client came to Douglas Partners after learning she’d lost her job. She’d been with the firm for nearly a decade, had worked for government for 15 years before that, and had no idea where to begin a job hunt.

Solution: We worked with this senior manager to plan her job search, write a resume, then coach her on interview skills. We stayed in touch with her as she refined her tactics until she landed her dream job.

Results: The client made a successful transition to self-employment as a financial advisor. She loves her work educating her clients on financial topics—her life goal.

The client said: “MB produced a resume that emphasized my business acumen, operations and project management skills. Several interviewers noted the professional look and style of my resume. I recommend Douglas Partners for any professional who is interested in a career reality check.”

Douglas Partners Success Story #2

Challenge: A client with a career in government wanted to change industries. Although he loved the thrill of working on political campaigns, he needed stability and a steady income.

Solution: First we partnered with a career coach to focus the client on his areas of expertise and identify the best jobs and industries for him. Once he knew where he wanted to go, we created a new resume and followed up to be sure he was interviewing well.

Results: This client moved into an entirely different arena: from government to a non-profit where his skills are appreciated. He loves his job and gets to see the results of his work every day.

The client said: “I hired MB to re-write, update and enhance my resume. In turn I got excellent career coaching advice, assistance in growing my professional network as well as an outstanding resume. I would highly recommend MB to anyone seeking to improve and refine their resumes/CVs in order to advance their career. Thanks again MB!”
