Kudos

Julien,

Thank you so much for the social media consultation today.

When I got back to my office I had about 30 e-mails from people accepting my invites to LinkedIn, and I’ve already sent several of them  messages and asked some of the lawyers and recruiters if I could be of service. And the piece d’resistance is one person on LinkedIn, the “Connection Queen”, accepted my invite and sent me a note saying if I get on Twitter (and Facebook) I’ll really be a social networker! I sent her a note saying an expert showed me how to use Twitter and I’m sure I’ll be following her!

A lot of action and bang for my buck!
Thanks!
Rich

Wow Julien… Great job on my executive resume! It is interesting to see how you transposed what I have been trying to say but just did not know how to say it. When you are so close to your everyday tasks it is hard to pull it all out and describe exactly what you do as clearly as you have. All I know is that I have been pretty busy and you’ve been able to show me exactly what I have accomplished throughout my career. It looks like all of that hard work has finally paid off for itself! I am confident that with your skillful writing I will definitely acquire the position I have been working towards all of these years.

Julien did voice over work for one of my Fortune 500 clients. Her voice ability is amazing and hit the marks perfectly for us to work with. The demos that were done were well received from the client and were pleased with the end result. Julien is also a great brainstormer and an expert in social media and its applications. A great person to have on the team!

I have recently hired Julien to write sections of my website and am very pleased with her results. Julien’s mastery of the English language is only matched by her superb ability to quickly understand her subject matter and adapt accordingly. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER^TM, I work in a highly regulated environment where many restrictions are placed on what can be written on a website. I have worked with other copywriters in the past and often times I find that while their writing is compelling, it can not get compliance approval because the author does not fully understand the regulatory aspects of the business that I am in. This was not the case with Julien. She was able to write one draft that was immediately approved by my back office and was worded perfectly.
I highly recommend Julien and will use her services from now on.

Hi Julien: great site! I’ve read your pieces on Twitter (It’s all About Planning) and the linked piece about marketers and social networking (aha!), as well as Building Your Social Capital piece you mentioned last Wednesday night and the looming inevitability of the “third wave.” I see what you mean. Am impressed by the timely manner in which the tweets are fed into your site (there’s a whole new raft of pieces since I’ve logged on earlier today). I love the “twitstep,” “twitstream,” and “tweeple” usages of some of your responders. You can always count on new tech to load the lexicon with cool new words or portmanteaus. Twittier than thou, indeed.

I have had the pleasure of working with Julien as a former client and as a consultant on a number of high-level editorial projects for our company. Julien’s work style is flexible and she quickly adapted to the nuances of our organization (which she never blinked at). Her work was creative, timely, and accurate and exceeded our expectations in every capacity. Moreover, Julien is someone that makes you feel like you’re more than just one of many clients she has. Her personality and talent set her apart from other vendors we have looked at.

Julien was someone I hired because my instincts told me she was more than a promising writer. I happily recommend Julien. She’s a stellar, ingenious writer; a hard worker; extremely reliable and keeps it smooth.

Julien is a deadline-driven, conscientious reporter, writer and communicator. She worked on several assignments for Bulldog Reporter in the PR space–and her articles were: submitted before deadine, in-depth with multiple sources, stellar examples of service journalism. We hope to work with Julien again as projects become available.

Julien is a brilliant yet cheerful and witty accomplished author. She’s thorough, concise and superlative in her writing and ever a pleasure to work alongside. I was referred to her given her exceptional contributing work on one of our bestsellers and have been impressed ever since. Empty is a day that I don’t receive an email from her and I’d recommend her to anyone who is looking for a ‘get-it-done’ author.

As the editor and publisher of Pam’s House Blend, I asked Julien to come on board as contributing editor early on because of her ability to both stay on top of breaking events with excellent writing and to incorporate social media tools on the site. One excellent example — as one of the two LGBT-focused blogs credentialed to cover the recent Democratic National Convention, Julien hosted interactive chat sessions with readers during prime time using the Web 2.0 product CoverItLive. We had to implement it in short order and Julien’s impressive self-starter skills enabled her to learn the tool on the fly and manage the four nights of chats seamlessly. Her work helped create a buzz and energy that helped Pam’s House Blend garner a huge boost in traffic during the convention.

I worked closely with Julien to produce feature pieces on Doctor of Dentistry magazine. Her ability of capturing the essense and feel of the story was “spot on”. Julien has an unique interviewing and writing skill by making the clients feel comfortable to share their life story. She understands how to tell a story which she consistently produced accurately, timely and professionally in each issue.

Having my corporate bio and personal resume prepared by Julien Sharp has been one of my favorite professional experiences to date. Not only was I treated to a tranquil lunch in South Beach, accompanied by her beautiful office dog, but also I was given the professional fortification of a great resume which echoes my accomplishments with confidence and grace.

Julien is amazingly in tune to her customers’ needs. While working with Julien on improving my Listing Presentation and Biography, she mentally immersed herself in to “my real estate world” and came up with great ideas. Because of Julien’s help, I am now confident and proud of the marketing material that I present to a potentail client.

Julien’s assistance with the copy my website has been very positive. She was able to take my thoughts and ideas in written form and polish them so that the reader could understand exactly the message I wanted to convey. She has strengths and skills in so many areas which she could bring to the overall production of my website and I thank you Julien for your sincere encouragement and desire to see me and my business flourish with flying colors!

Hi Julien:

I received both the resume & cover letter. I emailed the resume to Spherion & the person I work with loved it. She said it looked great.

I love it. It’s quite interesting actually the hope that I have after reading this resume. You helped me to see myself in a new light. I guess I just wasn’t seeing myself as this versatile administrative professional. Yes, very clever indeed. Thank you very much.

And the cover letter – again, how clever. That you would make me sound such an optimistic and appreciative temp. Ecstatic of every little thing I did for Spherion. Like incredibly grateful. And the fact that you made my career interests important enough to mention – wow – you’re good.

You did an outstanding job — now can you fix my hair? Ha ha!

Hi Julien!

Your changes made the difference in my Resume… I already have an offer! Wow – and in only 11 days after posting the resume!

I posted the resume you made for me on Monster.com on January 14 at noon, and by 5 pm I had already received 8 calls and 3 e-mails! By the following week I had a telephone interview and by the next one a face to face and offer.

I still have two or three other companies that want interview me and also like 5 headhunters interested.

Thanks so much!

Thanks to Julien Sharp for her excellent work. I am currently a middle school math and science teacher who is planning on relocating soon. I called Julien at Sharp Solutions to request two resumes and cover letters, for within my field and outside of my field. Julien first asked me many questions about my background and the exact professional direction I would like to head in for the future. She then used that information to tailor make resumes that were professionally worded and specifically targeted towards my employment goals.

I now feel like my resume has the competitive edge that I was looking for. The professionalism, personalization, and speed of service at Sharp Solutions are to be commended. Thanks Julien.

Sincerely,

Julien,

I have good news. I was offered a position at a local public high school here in New Orleans. I will be teaching biology at Andrew Jackson Magnet School which is considered one of the best public schools in the area.

I have no doubt your revised resume helped me get the position because they called me minutes after I faxed my resume. I have never gotten a response that fast before.

Thanks for your help and you will most likely be hearing from me again when I’m ready to revise my resume again!

Sincerely,

Clayton Roach
