I have had the recent pleasure of working with Arno after transitioning careers from start-up back to corporate. Arno gave me an appropriate critique regarding my resume (tough love) and guidance on how LinkedIn can work for me instead of against me. After working with him and his team I feel like I’m moving in a direction that will lead me to the best NEW career home.
I had the pleasure to work with Arno on my resume. I found him to be very professional and he provided good feedback. I am very happy with the my newly revised resume and actually just received an offer for a new role. I have been very impressed with Arno’s knowledge and skill. I fully recommend anyone seeking to update their resume to seek out his services.
I had the pleasure of working with Arno to solidify my LinkedIn profile, so it appeared more professional. I found Arno’s tactics to be focused, candid, and extremely explanatory so that it was easily understood why he was suggesting the changes he was suggesting. I strongly recommend Arno.
I recently worked with Arno to sharpen the focus of my resume. His years of practical experience are evident in every conversation. His familiarity with the current recruiting ecosystem helped me to target my resume to jobs best suited for my experience and skill set in a way that would get it noticed. I’m very pleased with the outcome and highly recommend him.
I recommend Arno Markus @ ICareerSolutions to anyone looking to rebuild their resume in order to be competitive in today’s market especially optimizing for recruiters and success in making it through ATS software systems so you can get an interview. -TRS
