David- I can’t thank you enough for all your help. Your program had a direct impact on my ability to land a great job. Your help in targeting my resume and preparing me for my interviews positioned me as a perfect choice for my new employer. I wish I had taken your program months ago. I believe I would have done so much better in previous job interview situations. Thanks again. You really are a treasure for the unemployed!

As a career counselor and business executive for over twenty years, I have seen very little that is new in job-finding. That is until I heard David Schmier. While most job seekers rely on old techniques or look for quick fixes that usually lead to disappointment and failure, David teaches a new approach to searching for a job, and the all-important task of networking, that I’m certain almost anyone can use to achieve success. I recommend David to all my Pace Alumni and private clients.

When I we started working together I had few prospects and my resume looked average – two things you definitely don’t want moving into this job-market. But right after our first session I started ‘New Networking’ and redoing my resume and within 3 weeks I had a job offer at a new company for more money. Thanks – I couldn’t have done it without your program.

From the minute he began, I was completely captivated — David’s methodology makes such perfect sense, and his “3 BIG Things” should be chanted like a mantra by anyone looking for a new job or a new client!
Kevin Kwan – Creative Director
I just got back from my first attempt at using what you’ve taught me with GetHired and have to tell you it worked exactly how you said it would. I was meeting with a very senior level executive and by doing exactly what we discussed I turned a Relationship Meeting into a commitment for a Hiring Interview. It was pretty amazing, I didn’t think it could happen in this market.

GetHired is a terrific course! I cannot say it enough. I took the seminar when I had a job and was considering a change. I thought my job was safe at the time, so I was shocked when I was laid off a few months later. Thankfully, I used what I learned in GetHired, and landed a great new job at a top advertising agency in just a few weeks.

David Schmier’s system is amazing! I can honestly say that I might still be unemployed if not for this course. Given today’s job market, it is especially challenging to gain employment; but by addressing the nuances and subtleties needed to make a difference with prospective employers I was able to go into the market with my two feet firmly planted. My gratitude and thanks goes out to him.

I wanted to share some thoughts on the job readiness training you took me through last week. First of all it gave me the knowledge to approach a completely unknown situation with ease and confidence. Most importantly, you prepared me on all levels of presentation which ensured success and a relaxed persona whatever the outcome of my interview was. Thanks to you I was able to get out of my own way and enjoy the interaction and secure my dream job – thank you!

David’s straight from the hip, tell-it-like-it-is style is understandable and practical. He makes the overwhelming “job-finding” task much more manageable for the often bewildered job seeker.

Dear David,
First I’d like to say thanks for your help and thanks for enlightening me. By employing the tips and techniques that you taught me I was able to land a much better career opportunity. I didn’t realize how much help I needed in understanding the entire job process until after our conversations. You helped me through every single part of the process, from cover letter to resume to interview and finally to the salary negotiations. All of your help was vital in landing me the ideal position and I know will be hugely beneficial in helping me move forward in my career.

David,
I wanted to pass on this acknowledgement from a very well respected recruiter in the financial services arena who wrote that my resume was the…”most impressive presentation of a candidate’s background that I have seen”. Although true success is forthcoming, I could not have felt so well prepared for the challenges ahead were it not for your incisive input, experience-savvy editing, and relentless support throughout the process.

Dear David
I did not want to let the moment pass without thanking you for making the hard work of finding a job so much easier. I have not felt so empowered and clear-headed in a very long time. Now all I have to do is begin the disciplined task of putting the GetHired system into practice – one step at a time. Taking a first leaf from your book, I would like to offer my support for your important work in these difficult and rapidly changing times. Let me know if there is anything I can do in the coming months. I will certainly recommend this seminar to others.
Thank you so much!
Elli Strauss – Brand Marketer
The GetHired system is incredibly comprehensive yet concise and sophisticated in its approach. With many of David’s personal experiences thrown in as examples, I came out of the seminar feeling re-energized and refocused on the job hunting experience as an experience of potential personal growth, not just one about finding work. And getting a follow-up email with templates of all the materials featured in the workbook was extremely useful, allowing me to speed things up in my search.
Margo Collins – Account Executive
David, I can’t stop talking about the GetHired seminar, especially your guidance in how to prepare a resume to make it stand out from all the others out there. It has helped me in more ways than I thought possible.
Jenna Aranda – Staff Accountant
Huntington Beach, CA
As part of my layoff I was given outplacement service but when I finished their program all I kept thinking was “Now what?” With GetHired, I knew exactly what I had to do and more importantly, how to do it. GetHired focused on the information I needed the most – how to make my networking connections really work for me and then how to position myself in meetings and interviews so that I’m the candidate a company wants to hire. With the glut of talent on the market right now, these are skills that every person out of work has to learn.
Heidi Schmidt – Interactive Marketing Manager
After spending just two hours with David Schmier I completely rewrote my resume, cover letter and positioning statement and sent them off for a position open at a company I desperately wanted to work for. 24 hours later they called me for an interview and two days after that I had the job. Considering how little success I’ve had in my search before I met David, I give him much of the credit for my new job.

David, Add me to your list of success stories. I got offered a great job today. I interviewed this morning, met the two marketing people and the director of HR. By the time I got home, the phone was ringing asking me if I wanted the position. Since I already decided I liked what I saw there and what the job would be, I said yes. I’m still floating! Thanks– for everything!

Just to let you know that KaZaA has finally offered me a position after meeting the CEO yesterday on my 5th session of this process. I think the crucial meeting was the one you prepared me for and for this I am very grateful. You gave me confidence and the right approach which I am sure secured the success of my application.
Tomasso del Rey – Strategic Alliances Manager
LEF Media Networks
I strongly believe that the tools I acquired from the Get Hired course helped me land this job. With David’s help I had a killer resume and I had barely started my New Networking. The 3 Big Things concept really works!
Jeff Fey – Senior Art Director
Bronson Hill Design Group
David, wanted to let you know that I’ve actually been getting freelance work since taking your seminar. I would definitely attribute my success to the information I received in the class about handling interview questions correctly. Thank you!
Dennis Regan – Graphic Designer
David – I just had the interview with National Instruments and everyone I met with was thoroughly impressed and I have your help to thank for that! I am confident I have the position I wanted (they actually offered me three to choose from!) and now have even more confidence in my abilities to perform above and beyond theirs (and my) expectations. Again I thank you!
Steve Lasher – Creative Director
National Instruments
Thanks David, taking your training via teleconference was excellent. Since I live in a remote area, I would have had to drive over 2 hours to work with you in person. Instead, I was able to work with you from my living room without all the hassles or expense of getting there.
