«My current boss shared with me that I was selected for the job because of my resume,
as it showed I was fully capable of taking on the position. I can't stress enough how important a resume is in the Federal
Government, so if it wasn't for your outstanding abilities and expertise in writing resumes, odds are that even with my
welding experience, I wouldn't have been selected for the job, so thank you!»
