“I owe my new job to the help Debbie provided. Before she updated my resume I had applied to over 50 jobs with very little success. After she enhanced and energized my resume I got interviews almost 50% of the time. If you are looking for a new job invest in yourself by getting a professional to review your resume. Thanks Debbie for the everything.”
“Looking for a new career is increasingly competitive and the rules are rapidly changing. I thought I could use the approach that had worked before and learned it just wasn’t enough. I am so grateful for Debbie’s expertise. She helped me get my resume noticed, learn how to navigate interviews at all levels, and how to negotiate effectively. With Debbie’s guidance, I was able to find my dream job during volatile economic conditions. Debbie was always available to answer questions and provide expert guidance. If you’re even considering hiring someone to help you in your search — just do it. Debbie is well worth the investment!”
“Debbie is the best career and job search professional I have ever worked with. She is incredibly talented, never misses a follow-up call, and is a genuine pleasure to work with. Working with Debbie enabled me to have multiple offers to review, giving me the opportunity to pick my best option. She is an absolute credit to her profession. Thank you, Debbie!”
“A huge shout out to Debbie. Thank you so much for all your help updating my resume, cover letter help and helping me figure out my next steps in my career. Your support was unwavering and appreciated.”
“I had the good fortune to work with Debbie after having spent 30+ years as the Vice President of a Midwest-based franchise operation, retiring, and then deciding that I really didn’t want to idle and coast so to speak. The question then became; “What do I do now and how do I apply my skills, background, and experience in a rewarding and meaningful way?”
Because I was already well into my late 50’s and not exactly a prime traditional hirable candidate for most organizations, I was well aware that packaging and marketing myself effectively was going to be paramount to my success in landing the type of role that I was looking for.
Enter Debbie Marshall! Working with Debbie was EXACTLY the lynchpin type of partner that I needed in this endeavor. And I mean partner in the very literal sense of the word. Debbie was the consummate professional every step of the way and really helped me gather pertinent information from my background and professional experience and then package in such a way that it was meaningful and grabbed the attention of potential employers. Absolutely knocked it out of the park!
After working with Debbie, I was suddenly getting responses from employers that I was interested in, but had never had any success in breaking through with previously. It was uncanny actually. Her ability to help build, package, and market the brand that is Russ Gibson was remarkable!
I heartily recommend and endorse Debbie in this arena. As a direct result of working with her, I was able to land a role and position with an organization that I wish I had discovered and became involved with 20 years ago. Absolutely delighted with the services that she provided and the end result that we achieved by working together. She is definitely someone that you want in YOUR corner!

Debbie is client-focused and highly responsive. She works hard to make sure everything she does provides value for her clients and meets their high expectations. I highly recommend her.”

She was timely at getting me the tools I needed to get me noticed. Thank you Debbie for all your hard work in helping me land where I am today. ”

Debbie found all of the things wrong with my resume (format, keywords, etc.) that made software automatically reject my application. Debbie was able to see my intangible qualities and include them on my resume instead of just skills and experience. My new resume not only got me further in the application process, but was immediately noticed by recruiters all over the country. She helped me with my LinkedIn profile to raise my visibility to recruiters as well. It was well-worth every penny. And Debbie is a fantastic person with whom to work. Best of all, it enabled me to get a higher paying job using all of my skills!! I highly recommend her service. ”

I don’t think I ever waiting more than an hour for a response. Her service was very personalized. I felt like she understood my goals and was working for my success just as hard as me.
