Dear Stu,
I've accepted a VP of Services position with XXXXXXX.. I'll be running their government services team - and the best part is the office is only a little over a mile from my house. Thanks very much for your help - I've already recommended your service to several friends. I'll do my best to send you additional referrals, as I'm very happy with both the process and of course, the end result."
-- R. R., East Coast, $200K+, Program Manager / Financial Manager / Systems Analyst
This was accomplished within 45 days after the fax transmission program.
As a result of our fax program of two months ago, I have accepted an offer as a Partner of a small consulting firm out of Minneapolis. My role is two-fold: First, to build a practice within the group which will focus on Portfolio Management. The second, to try to build an office on the east coast.
The advice you gave me provided for a win-win situation and I think we all walked away feeling good about the situation. I really appreciated the tips on negotiations and feel that it made all the difference in reaching agreeable terms. It is an incredible situation for me and may provide to be much more lucrative than my time at Pfizer. Not bad all in all.
Again, I would like to thank you for all your help and advice.

I wanted to take this opportunity to give you an update on the progress of the transmission program SearchFAX ran for me. I had a great response, receiving a total of 58 responses. The best result is of course finding an open position. This I did within eight weeks after the faxing. I was offered the position of VP Sales & Marketing for a company in New Jersey. I was extremely pleased with the quality of service I received from SearchFAX and would happily recommend your service to others. I also appreciated your personal guidance throughout the project.
Best regards,
Ms. P. W., Vice President, Sales & Marketing, utilizing skills in global software technology and enterprise communication systems.
I recently accepted a position of Director, Corporate Marketing for a company that is a leader in their industry. Had it not been for SearchFax, I would have never been aware of the opportunity. My resume landed on the recruiters desk at the perfect time! I was contacted by the recruiter a couple of weeks after sending a fax. This position is a newly created position that they had been searching for months, and had not found the right candidate. I had read a book about "How to Get a Job in 60 Days", and the first recommendation is to get your resume out to as many recruiters as possible - this way they can be working for you while you are focusing on other parts of your search... i.e. networking. SearchFax was the perfect means of getting my resume out to many. I have recommended you to others, and point out that the cost of using SearchFax is less than a weeks salary! Each day that my colleagues are not working is lost income.

I accepted the position of Chief Brand Officer, with a really great company
based in Baltimore, MD.
The CBO is a newly created position that they decided to do after meeting me
and discussing their business challenges. We will probably be in the top ten
on the upcoming Inc. 500 fastest growing companies issue. The SearchFAX method
worked in short order. I greatly appreciated your personal help in working through
the process with me and the support of your staff as well. I'd recommend you
to anybody I know, and already have...

A.G.,
Below is the info on the company that faxes your CV and resume to executive recruiters. Check their website www.SearchFAX.com. I strongly recommend these services. I like that they are very focused and give you access to hundreds of the right headhunters. As I told you, I am very skeptical about all the companies out there that want to take your money to "help with your job search". But this one works. And I say this from personal experience. I have talked to a dozen headhunters and have interviewed with four companies and may yet interview with few others. I expect 2-3 to make an offer. You may need to invest around $2000 but it's money well spent.
Most of all the other services I think are a rip-off. Particularly the so-called "career management services." They charge $5,000-8,000 for doing what I think you can do reasonably well. And do not have databases regardless of what they say.
One thing to remember, this is the best strategy for bucket #1: executive recruiters. You still have to work on the other buckets (internet and other want ads sources, direct contact, networking).
All the best,
M.L.

Subj: Thanks Stu, Third time was a charm
Stu, I wanted to drop this note. Succeeded in gaining a wonderful position for an old, but now new start up (spin off) company. Secured a private equity position as the Vice President of Operations, responsible for plants in NA and Europe. This position came from a retained recruiter faxed on our third try. Total compensation well be in the seven figures over the 3 year contract, with bonus potential of over 50% based upon EBITDA performance, not including value of equity position for a $250 million dollar business. It is an exciting opportunity well worth the investment and time dealing with SearchFAX. The support, Stu, you and your team provided me was outstanding.
Thank you,

I recently landed a great job that is a very good fit with my experience and skills. What's more, I really like the work and the people. It was a tough grind to find it but I'm glad I kept on looking. Thanks to you and your staff for all the help you gave me. You're the best!"

"I received the first opportunity call within three hours of the start of my transmission program, with two other opportunity calls before the end of my transmission - I am referring SearchFAX right away to two other people who need your help."

"I accepted a position as Business Development Manager for a high tech startup with a 6 figure base and 7 figure upside - I am a FIRM BELIEVER in SearchFAX's value added approach. I am now contacting everyone I know to let them know about you. Thank you, SearchFAX! After too long looking for a position, I found you through 6FigureJobs.com. Thank you, 6FigureJobs!"

Fax program on August 27, First interview September 2. Accepted a position October 1.
"Good
news! I am happy to report that I begin work as VP Operations for Hxxxxx Inc
with responsibilities for Supply Chain, Mfg, and Logistics. Hxxxxx is a $200M
manufacturer of corrugated HDPE pipe, headquartered 90 miles away. This is a
perfect career step forward, a 20% increase in base salary, and the potential
for up to 80% bonus. And the best part is I'm working for an enlightened CEO,
with an enthusiastic Senior Management team, in an informal & participative
work environment. I want to thank you for paving the way to this ideal opportunity!
I am very pleased with the results achieved with SearchFAX. I received a dozen calls before the transmission even ended and had responses from about 6% of all the recruiters contacted, more than 4 to 5 times the response rate that I had received from direct mailings, e-mailings, and resume posting websites. But what impressed me most was the quality of the responses. Of 3 active job leads in the first 2 days, 2 ultimately led to job offers! Talk about results! The strategy of using faxes got the right information to the right people in the right firms. In addition to a total of 5 active leads, I established ongoing dialog with principles in a half dozen firms. In the course of our discussion, a few mentioned how clever the use of faxes was, getting their immediate attention and response while dozens of letters and hundreds of e-mails were routinely passed on to staff for screening. Because of the clarity of the high resolution faxes, I even had the President of one firm tell me he mistook it as a letter!
Finally, Stu, the personal attention that you provided made the process not only enjoyable, but taught me a great deal about dealing with recruiters, and gave me a great deal of confidence in the strategic direction of my search.
I can't say enough good things about SearchFAX. In the worst market of a decade, after 3 months of failed conventional job search strategies, it took SearchFAX 2 days to generate 2 leads that ultimately lead to job offers and the perfect next step in my career. Thanks a million! "
P.F., BS, Industrial Engineering
"Great to talk with you again. Let me first say Thank You once again for helping me the last time. Your process works, which is why I'm back again. But what makes it even more special is YOU. Your enthusiasm and confidence are inspiring especially during this sensitive transition period. I appreciate your counsel and strategic perspective on navigating a search and maximizing my investment. You're great to work with."

"Presently I am President of a global specialty chemical and equipment company. I found my current position as a direct result of using SearchFAX. SearchFAX quickly and efficiently introduced me to the search firm responsible for this position. I have since used SearchFAX several times to keep in contact with many search firms. This has been a very important part of my ongoing search efforts. It is all a question of being in the right place at the right time and maintaining as much forward momentum as possible. SearchFAX is a highly visible tool - I believe better than either e-mail or postal mail. Thank you, SearchFAX."

"The
purpose of this letter is to thank you very much for your help in helping me
find the right position. The contacts you made on my behalf were most beneficial
to me and were contacts that I would never have been able to make without your
assistance. Within a week the initiation of your fax campaign, I had over 50
responses resulting in about 20 serious inquiries. None of these would have
come without your efforts. I presently have 3 bonafide jobs offers on my desk
as the direct result of SearchFAX."

"So far, two real opportunities from the _____ Resource Group and lots of email replies with "nothing right now but we will get back to you," and an additional three general interest calls. All of this during the transmission. I am extremely pleased. I will keep you posted and send on more information (new contacts, etc.) when things settle down a bit. THANK YOU."

"Your observation that e-mailing resumes doesnt work whereas faxing them does is correct. My responses within 24 hours are greater than the total responses from my previous two e-mail programs. I find this a strange twist on what you would expect, given all the hype nowadays on electronic commerce Actually, I find it a welcome twist."

I am pleased to be able to tell you that thanks to you and the team at SearchFAX,
