Ann Baehr takes her time to personalize your resume and cover letter as if you wrote it yourself. She is very detail oriented and consults with you every step of the way. I am extremely satisfied with my finished product!
— Stephanie Dawkins, HR Generalist
When I first contacted Ann to rewrite my resume, she initially thought it was okay and focused more on what I really needed – a new LinkedIn Profile and resume distribution. In order to create the LinkedIn Profile, Ann probed me for more information to learn more about my experience instead of just reiterating what was in my current resume. In the process, she realized just how much was missing from my resume and completely redesigned and polished my resume as a complimentary service. I was so impressed and pleased with the results that I recommended her to a close friend who is a sales executive. She too was thrilled with Ann ‘s process — and the results. Ann is very creative in her approach, and works in a very timely manner. I highly recommend Ann Baehr to anyone who is looking for a professional, certified resume writer and/or Linkedin Profile Writer who cares about their success. If that’s what you are looking for, you should contact Ann Baehr. You will not be disappointed!
— Kelly Esposito, Physician Account Exec, Quest Diagnostics
I am an executive nurse and had been dabbling with my own resume for YEARS, meaning with each work experience I simply edited to reflect a piece of a job description. I met Ann after a nite of surfing the web. Ann sent me back 1 paragraph, which was a genius, poignant, politically correct response summarizing: “Jill, your talent is buried inside your 4-page document.” Needless to say, I sent my payment to Ann in full and our journey began. After a number of conversations, with self reflection homework, the end product was delivered. No more buried talent. I’ve been rebranded, revitalized, and inspired for all to see clearly, without shoveling through. Ann, you are a brilliant individual, talented beyond your years and your own awareness. Thank you for your expertise, you are a g-d-send!
— Jill Goldstein, VP of Nursing, Mount Sinai Queens
I am thrilled with Ann’s services. I contacted her for her expertise in executive resume writing. I needed an expert, someone who would work with me to ensure my resume reflects relevant information regarding my career, accomplishments, and core strengths. She quickly immersed herself in my work, my attributes, and my story. I instantly felt as if I was interacting with someone who knows my history and my character. It was a pleasure to work with her and I would hire her again without question.
— Diane Diggelman, General Manager, IBM
Magnificent work! Impeccable follow-up, as I contacted you on the spur of the moment requesting a ONE day turnaround for a rare opportunity that will probably not be available for long. Your professionalism and listening skills are excellent, as I was unsure of how to clearly define what I needed in my complex resume and cover letter changing from Database Engineering to IT and Software sales. I can say how pleasantly overwhelmed I am with your insight and creativity and impressed with the way you were able to highlight the important and finer points of my career. I have no doubt that I’ll get a great job soon. If only I discovered you sooner! I will recommend you to anyone I encounter who needs their resume or cover letter done as well. Thank you Ann!
— , Oracle DBA / Sales Facilitator
I recently hired Ann to write my resume; a process in which I had never been a part and didn’t know what to expect. I found Ann to be extremely professional in how she managed the process, knowledgeable in current employment trends, savvy in the areas of positioning a client in relevant, impactful terms and smart and creative in the actual writing of the resume’. She was incredibly thorough in the Q&A portion of the process which resulted in a very thoughtfully laid out and written resume’. She was also exceptionally generous with her time, talents and advice. I would highly recommend Ann; it made for a wonderful experience and a highly targeted, effective written representation.
— Director of Marketing, Sigma America

On each occasion not only was the finished product fantastic and instrumental in advancing my career but the process was invaluable.

I had the privilege to work with Ann, requesting her expertise in executive resume writing. I needed someone who could articulate my vast experiences in a manner that reflected my abilities to a broad base audience, displaying both my accomplishments and strengths. Without a doubt, Ann exceeded my expectations. I found her to be engaging, willing to learn about me as both a person and a professional, and extremely helpful. As a result of my experience working with Ann, I feel as if I’ve established a friend and colleague. Ann is attentive, responsive, but most important, caring. It was a pleasure to work with her and I look forward to staying in contact with Ann for years to follow.

Ann has been writing and updating my resume for years. Even when I moved out of New York I still use her wherever I go. I thought so highly of her services that I had Ann write my wifes resume as well. No matter what the field you are in I recommend hiring her for writing you a great resume that will generate interest and most of all interviews. She is excellent at what she does.

I am very, very happy and satisfied with everything you prepared and decided that I will just tailor the resume to emphasize more of my legal and construction background for those companies that I have an interest in that are in that field. I can do this myself now that you have expertly given me the strong resume to work from. I cannot thank you enough for all the work you did on my behalf. Anyone I come across that is in need of the services you provide I will encourage them to contact you. I will let you know what develops by way of my job hunting.

I really liked working with Ann – for someone who has not had to write a resume for a long time, Ann was able to help me produce a professional document which really highlighted my skills and experience. Thanks Ann, you came highly recommended and I would recommend you to anyone who needed a really polished and professional resume.
Shenika Castro
Real Estate Agent
Ann did a marvelous job at turning my cookie-cutter resume into a masterpiece! I just wanted to thank her so much for her help. She is patient and thorough in her work. Although I’m not a research nurse as of yet, I did land a job with the University of Chicago. I am certain without her help I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish that. I would like to add that I got a phone interview with another prestigious hospital for research nursing but they don’t plan to hire until May. I’ll keep you updated! Once again THANK YOU!
Software Sales Manager
— with an earlier career path in financial services
After years of feeling like my resume didn’t adequately reflect my unique combination of education and work experience across a couple of industries, I contacted Ann for help. I was not disappointed. Ann is prompt and communicative and was able to produce a professional, articulate and visually impressive resume in a short amount of time with only minimal interaction with me. Ann Baehr is clearly a leader in her field and just “gets it”. I strongly recommend her and will use her services again!
Follow Up: I wanted to give you a little update on my current employment / life situation. It’s been several months since we last spoke. I started pursuing employment in the (withheld) area shortly after receiving my final resume from you and came across a unique opportunity which I felt slightly under-qualified for. It was for a company that sold software to the advertising industry.
I submitted my resume back in mid-May and didn’t expect much. Lo and behold I was promptly contacted. Their initial feeling, based exclusively on my resume, was that I may be a “step-up” from what they were looking for. We discussed salary requirements, which you provided expert advice about how to address by the way, and a phone interview and a couple in-person interviews (one with the CEO) later I was finally offered a position last Thursday. The compensation package is better than I was looking for and the position as “Sales Director” is an amazing one with an up and coming company (bank). I accepted the position and am relocating to the (withheld) area in the coming month.
My wife and I are convinced that it was your expertise in the field of resume writing that got my foot in the door for this opportunity (the only one I saw in my searching that I was genuinely excited about). I cannot express my appreciation enough. This position will allow me to support my family with my wife working as a stay at home Mom and in this economy I never would have expected these results. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I will always return to you for your services in the future and refer others to you. You’re truly an expert in your field and a pleasure to work with! Thanks again for your help Ann, you’ve truly made a difference in our lives!
Recent Graduate, IT
“Thank you sooo much!!! Your resume is AMAZING!!! AND THE COVER LETTER!!!
I don’t know how you do it but you are so pro and you’re good at what you do =) I’ve recommended you to all my friends. I’ve been contacted left and right everyday. I literally have over 15 interviews on my schedule and around 1/2 of the people who contacted me is WOWed by the quality of my resume. I’ve been getting interviews that I’ve never thought I’d be getting. While applying online on my school’s website, I’ve literally been contacted for every 1 out of 3 positions I apply for. Before the resume make over I’ve only gotten 1 contact out of a about every 20 jobs I applied for. Thank you so much Ann. It’s definitely worth the investment.

Hi Ann — Thank you so much for your services. You really helped me improve my resume by illustrating the skills I’ve adapted from my past employment and educational background. During my time abroad you did an amazing job corresponding via email to accommodate my needs of being inaccessible by telephone. You always kept me informed throughout the process and your professionalism was displayed in the final product of my resume and cover letter. Thanks for everything! Best, Jordan.
Sales – Luxury Fashion Product Line – Top Ranking Producer, Worldwide
Dear Ann — I just want to thank you a million times and more. I don’t know if I can ever thank you enough. You are a Godsend and I just want to say you have this amazing gift. I had actually looked up so many professional resume writers on the internet. One after another going to their site and speaking to at least a dozen. Which I didn’t tell you. but I wasn’t convinced that they were the right one. I am so thankful for not hiring them. I knew when I called you and you picked up the phone. First I couldn’t believe you actually picked up the phone on a Saturday.
Then when I explained to you that I was on a time deadline and you explained to me that you didn’t think you had enough room in your schedule and I continued to ask you to at least take a look at my existing resume before you said no and you agreed you would. What stunned me was you were so honest that you had told me that my resume didn’t look bad that you could guide me to just fix a few things without redoing it. I was surprised.
But what was more amazing was when I asked you to completely redo my resume within the next 48 hours you took on the task and you explained to me what we had to do. You took full control starting from the interview. You listened to every detail and even pointed out things I had forgotten to mention. I couldn’t believe when you emailed me my first draft and the second with corrections and then my final resume and my cover letter. You made my resume look like it had won the Oscars. I felt so confident when I presented my resume to the new company I will be working for that I didn’t even have any doubts if they would call me or not.
Ann you made my experience from start to finish so easy, without any delays and thank you for calling and emailing me whenever you had any questions and for answering all my phone calls. When I received my final resume the only words out of my mouth were “Oh my God.” I remember I was screaming and laughing when I called you thanking you and telling you how incredible it looked. I just wanted to give you the biggest hug. It felt so good. It was worth finding you.
I just want you to know if you ever need a referral or if anyone asks if they can have a point of contact to speak with you can with my permission give them either my email or cell. I would be more than happy to speak to them and tell them my experience and what an incredible job you did and how reliable you are. Ann you are the best. Again thank you thank you and thank you.
Brand Strategy & Design / New Product Development
My industry requires me to have a varied and sometimes not-so-easy-to-articulate skill set. Ann Baehr spent the time to ask the right questions in order to extract all the useful pieces and organized them into a clear, concise and focused keyword rich resume that is very sharp and tailored. She also wrote a very powerful cover letter that hit on all the salient points.
–Adam, Brand Strategy & Design Strategist
Senior Level Pharmaceutical Sales Professional – Territory Specialist — Manager — Trainer
I am thrilled with the professional resume and cover letter you created for me. What a tremendous improvement from my resume. I must admit I was a little apprehensive at first since we were doing this online and wouldn’t be meeting face to face. However, that feeling was quickly put to rest after talking with you. I felt like I had a friend and a professional working on my behalf.
Now I feel confident that my resume truly reflects my 18 years of professional experience, specialized skills and many achievements and will be a stand out to hiring managers in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology field. I know many professionals in my industry looking for work and I will be telling them about your resume service. Thank you so much!

Senior Product Manager / Global Marketing Executive — Biopharmaceutical Industry
I can’t thank you enough for the amazing job you did on my resume. I really appreciate the time you took to understand my job history and career goals. Not only did I land the job I really wanted, the HR department told me it was one of the best resumes they have seen! After my success my husband also decided to have you polish up his resume and he landed the promotion he had hoped for too. Thanks for everything.
Medical Device Marketer
I have always struggled to effectively present my skills and achievements on my resume. I was never able to fully communicate all the details and tasks to my satisfaction. Ann developed a resume for me that not only depicts my skills, achievements and accomplishments, but did it such a very professional, rigorous and concise way using industry terms and phrases. Job well done!
Regional Territory Sales Representative – Medical Software / Enterprise Solutions (Top Producer)
I knew from the moment I looked at the website that I was going to get a quality piece of workmanship from Ann Baehr. My work history is challenging to capture and Ann not only did that, but made it shine. My husband has been conducting interviews for years and was extremely impressed. He is a perfectionist and could not find one thing to change.
I just never expected to get something quite as amazing as the resume and cover letter that she designed for me. They are magical! Especially the resume. I got an interview the next day after posting it on Indeed! I never doubted I would get something good, but it isn’t often, today, that I am this surprised by the excellent quality in product and service! Ann is indeed, THE BEST!
HR Representative
Ann, thank you so much for spending the last several hours on the phone with me. What started off as an inquiry call resulted in a 6 hour resume boot camp. After months of time and tears spent reworking the document you got me to the point I needed to get to in one phone call. It was like a resume writing, coaching and therapy session all in one day. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
Director of Management Reporting (Positioned for Chief Administrative Officer role)
I am very impressed and completely overjoyed with the resume that you created. Your method is thorough and you were able to organize 13 years of experience into a story that flows and really gets the point across. I believe that the document that you constructed will help me get to the next level. Thank you for your hard work!
Consumer Sales to Information Technology (Career Change)
I was referred to Ann Baehr several years ago by family members who have been using her services for many years, and always got the jobs they wanted. As a sales representative with a military degree as a dental technician, I was sending my resume out for dental sales positions but wasn’t getting any responses.
After Ann did my resume, I sent my resume out and was contacted by one of the biggest dental companies in the country. The woman called to personally tell me there weren’t any openings but that she would keep my resume on file. I ended up doing something else for a couple of years, but was later laid off. I decided to return to school for information technology. I knew better than to do the resume myself because I needed to find a position in the small town of Rhode Island. After two weeks using the new resume that Ann did I received a call about a help desk job with a leading retailer with locations worldwide.
After three interviews, they made me a temp to perm offer. By entrusting my career to Ann, I went from having an average resume and no luck with my job search to having an outstanding resume and a great opportunity to start my IT career. If you want your resume done right you need to hire Ann Baehr.
Farm Manager
Working with Ann Baehr has been one of the greatest decisions and investments I have made for myself and my career. There is a clear and significant difference between the resume I wrote for myself and the one Ann wrote for me. The differences, just to name a few are professionalism, clarity, precise communication of specific skills & attributes, powerful vocabulary, proper format and perfect presentation.
Ann highlighted my experience, skills, achievements and education in a way that truly gives me a competitive edge. In addition to creating a powerful resume for me, Ann is a mentor. She gave me insightful advice for landing and handling the interview, what to expect, and how to properly follow up.
My field and area of skill are very unique and specific Ann did an incredible job of taking the time to understand my field by asking the right questions. I was really impressed by Ann’s attentive listening, experienced insight and spot-on recommendations. She was always available by phone or email with very prompt responses and she even collaborated with me into the wee hours of the morning cramming and editing for an unexpected interview, producing a finalized resume a week before originally planned!
The entire process gave me a turbo boost of confidence and allowed me to shine and to focus my energy on what I do best – leaving the headache of the resume preparation to Ann! When I walked onto the job-site for my interview with Ann’s resume in hand I was confident and prepared to make an excellent, memorable impression. As a result, the 8-hour interview went very well! Thank you Ann!!!!!
Operations Supervisor – Global Travel Company
When I found myself laid off from a 20+ year career as an Operations Supervisor for a global travel company I was full of emotions. Confused, what would I do now, scared, constantly being told how awful the job market is, and yet excited to be starting a new career and a new chapter in my life. Where do I start? How do I right a resume after 20 years with the same company and explain all the positions and all my accomplishments without sounding boring or redundant?
I started searching online first just for samples and formats for resume writing but what I found was Ann Baehr, a professional resume writer. I called Ann for a price quote and knew immediately this was the person I wanted to write my resume. She explained how she worked, and after asking me numerous questions about my career and drawing from job ads that she requested to see, Ann told me she would send me a tailored worksheet.
The worksheet was very detailed and helped me to explain the responsibilities and positions I have held. It did seem overwhelming at first, but it was the perfect tool to help Ann understand what I have done so she could write the perfect resume for me, and that is exactly what she did! I am so happy with the way it turned out, every detail is professional and polished and she really took the time to learn about me and what I have done in my career. The resume is accurate and precise and is not full of fluff or meaningless adjectives.
Ann even gave me some ideas for a few adjustments that could be made depending on the job I am applying for, and assured me she is always just a phone call away. I am so proud of my resume and I am confident it is exactly what I need to get the job I want and started on my new career. Thank you so much, Ann, for your hard work.
Sales and Marketing Manager / Operations
Reputable High-end Furniture Manufacturing Company
It was Sunday afternoon, I was feeling low and unhappy about my current job, I knew I had major contributions to the company but it was hard for me to articulate these achievements and convey them on a resume. I searched the internet and I found those “quickie” resume writing services online but I thought to myself ” this is my career, it’s my future, I have to look for someone who’s reputable and professional when it comes to creating a resume” and so I performed another tedious search on the internet again.
I went on Google and keyed in “Best Resume Writer”, lo and behold! Ann Baehr’s name came out and I said to myself, I’ve got to get hold of this person, I’ve got to speak with her, she could be the answer to my career issues. I tried my luck, called her up, not realizing it was a Sunday, and wow! believe it or not, Ann Baehr personally picked up the phone, I was speechless for a second, asked her again, is this really Ann Baehr?
I was very impressed and couldn’t believe that Ann spent her time and engaged in a conversation with me, it was not a business conversation, she didn’t discuss any fees, she was more concerned about me and my personal issues with my career. I had told her everything, I couldn’t believe she listened to me like a friend, for two and half hours, we were speaking like we have known each other for many many years. After the conversation, I felt different, I felt so much better and confident about myself. That’s Ann Baehr’s magic, she will bring out the best in you, she can unveil and articulate your achievements and create a meaningful resume.
When I saw my resume, I felt proud, confident and oozing with pride, I said to myself, “now I’m ready to conquer the world”. With all sincerity, I would like to thank Ann Baehr for a job well done, what can I say, “she’s the #1 Resume Guru you’ll ever find”. I hope I can meet her someday to personally thank her. More power to you Ann and I wish you more success to come.
Health Care Compliance, Quality-Risk Management, Facility Management (Center of Excellence)
My first response when I received my resume and cover letter from Ann Baehr is that I would hire myself. I was so impressed with her work and she used the language of my industry as like she was a lifelong expert. That is difficult and it was effortless for her. Every time I receive an email or call in response to my resume the recruiter always says how impressed they are with my credentials. Ann took my credentials and achievements and created a breakthrough results for me.
I explored the Internet for a resume writer and preferred Ann Baehr for two reasons, her name is present and doing business with a person instead of a website was essential, and the services I desired were discussed first. Ann worked with me to understand my needs, and helped pinpoint the type of resume I wanted. I sent Ann every performance evaluation I had, and she took that data, which was dry and in military jargon, and made it truly wonderful. She targeted my resume for the exact career path that I wanted.
Don’t make the mistake of using any other service. Ann Baehr crafted a resume and cover letter for me that is insightful, professional, and focused my career goals. The documents she wrote for me places me at the forefront of my search and the callbacks from hiring managers has been quick.
Jay Standard, PGA Golf Professional – “My Resume Chosen From 45 Others”
Ann Baehr was a Godsend for me. I am in a very competitive field with unusual resume requirements. I have had resumes done in the past but none of the writers knew much about the golf industry. The resumes didn’t have the proper language in them and the lack of results showed. Then I found Ann. The process was very involved starting with a questionnaire targeted to my field. It took me three hours to answer it.
Not being very computer savvy Ann took the extra step to help me access and complete the worksheet and to make revisions over the phone for a total of SIX HOURS over two days!!!!!! No one has ever taken more than an hour total on my resume. All the others use cookie cutter formats and try to shoehorn your info into it ……don’t waste your time on them!! Contact Ann and be ready to work with her. She will create a resume that stands out.
Regional Sales Management
Ann Baehr provides the highest level of professional advisement in the creation of executive style resumes. Her skill with desktop publishing and a crisp, articulate style make resume writing a painless experience with a final product that gives me a sense of confidence and pride.

Director, Direct-to-Consumer Marketing
I am so glad I found Ann, because she understands resumes! I had a content-rich, cluttered and overwhelming resume. Ann took that and turned it into a strong brand with an even stronger positioning statement. She knows how to extract the gems and put them on the shelf. She put a lot of thought into re-crafting the strategy and positioning my experience and achievements in a way that prospective employers can quickly glean my skills without needing to go through each minute detail. Ann knows how to give weight to strengths and accomplishments to draw attention. Now my resume looks great!
Vice President, Financial Management Information Systems
This letter is written to alleviate your fears and uncertainty while doing your due diligence in the selection of a professional resume writer over the Internet. Ann Baehr performed magic as she whittled away all the fluff and hype that was in my old resume previously written by another resume service that met with me in person and charged $800 — more than double Ann’s well-deserved fees. Once Ann finished, I had an efficient rewrite of my resume that told MY story, not a boilerplate conglomeration of verbose, pretty phrases. I am very pleased and grateful! I can’t stress enough the value of an ethical and straightforward partner in one’s quest for a professional and effective resume. Trust Ann Baehr — she’s the best resume writer!!! Thanks again Ann for doing such a great job on my resume!!

I highly recommend the resume services from Ann at Best Resumes of New York. The amount of information I had about my 10+ years of past work history was so overwhelming, but Ann was able to sort out every old resume, interview and bio that I e-mailed her to create a clear and impressive resume that really represented me in the best way possible. I would never have been able to write such a resume without her. I would hire her again in a minute! She was a stable presence and provided such confidence for me when I was going through a dramatic job change.
Thanks Ann!

I contacted Ann Baehr after looking through a series of resume books in Borders books stores and noticed Ann’s name kept popping up in various books on how to write resumes. I was even more pleased that she was local to Long Island. Upon calling her, we talked on the phone for almost 90 minutes!! She gave me advice on career options and the services she offered. She made me so comfortable. I knew in the first 10 minutes that I wanted to hire her. The resume and cover letter she wrote are great! I’m very happy with them. They are exactly what I needed and wanted. Thanks Ann! 🙂

Ann has always been a huge asset to my successful job searches. She is very knowledgeable in condensing all of my experience into a concise resume and has a very detailed knowledge of what potential employers look for in a job candidate. Ann always helped me highlight the important aspects of my background, and her cover letter and resume writing skills always improved my chances of an employer reading about my credentials.

I have known Ann Baehr for many years. Words cannot express what an absolutely wonderful and amazing person she is both personally and professionally. When I graduated college in 1997, I was in search of a teaching job. Ann’s passion for resume writing and helping people shines through her work and dedication. Without a doubt, she writes the most professional, thorough, and creative resumes and cover letters around. With Ann’s patience, compassion, enthusiasm, and advice, I was able to land many jobs over the years. Her guidance was most helpful when I transitioned from a Teacher of The Speech and Hearing Handicapped to a Reading Teacher. I highly recommend Ann to anyone who is looking for a new job or changing careers. Thanks again Ann! You are by far The BEST Resume Writer!!!!!!!

I found Ann Baehr to be both personable and caring. She wasn’t interested in just creating a resume and collecting a fee as much as she was in creating a precise, truthful and proud introduction as to who I am and what I’ve accomplished. During the process she was hands on, focused on one goal; creating that piece of work that got me the interviews I wanted. I recommend her to all my colleagues.
Career Transition to Marketing and Public Relations
Tara Hoffman
I graduated college two years ago with a degree in International Business, and became too comfortable with my present job that has no room for career advancement. A friend knew I wanted to break into Marketing and Public Relations, so she referred me to Ann Baehr who had successfully sculpted her resume to highlight her skills and personal attributes. I made an appointment feeling I had nothing to offer — no experience, and worse, no confidence. I was unhappy with my degree title and lacked direction.
I walked into the Best Resumes office with my thoughts in fifty directions. Ann sat patiently, and kindly asked me about myself. I felt comfortable and hopeful. There was no pressure and no rush. She listened, offered advice, and helpfully geared me in the right direction. When my resume was completed, I was very pleased with the results. It could not have had a more personal touch. Ann keeps in contact with me to give me resources, and has left me feeling confident about my journey ahead. I would like to sincerely thank Ann for the wonderful job she has done for me. She is professional, and makes an art of creating a personal picture on paper.
Registered Sr. Financial Administrative Assistant
I just wanted to share the good news with you. I am sure you will know who I am. As you will recall I am a Registered Sr. Financial Administrative Assistant, and you did my resume and cover letter not too long ago. We never actually met because we did everything by telephone and email. Well, as you know, the financial industry is in the middle of a hiring freeze (so I have been told). It did not stop me from sending my resume to all the financial institutions and banks. There were a lot of callbacks, but once again, the news was not promising. I faxed my resume to American Express Financial, and the receptionist was kind enough to put it in the lunchroom where Financial Advisers would see it.
I received a call the very next day from a very large producer — second in New York and 19th in the country. He called because he was VERY IMPRESSED WITH MY RESUME and wanted to meet the person behind it. We met for an interview and he kept saying how well my resume was written. Based on my qualifications, he hired me. My dream came true and my search was over. I am working three days a week from 9:15 to 4:00 in the summer, and then full time sales in September. Once again, I could not have done it without your resume writing and cover letter. Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!

There is not enough to say about Ann Baehr’s resume writing. Ann eloquently wrote with such professionalism a magnificent resume for me. Those that saw the resume before were shocked at how Ann changed the wording to give me a very professional, well-organized, and coherent synopsis of myself. Others that I recommended feel the same way. I used Ann again when I switched professions. She fixed my resume and gave me a cover letter. I answered ads, sent e-mails to prospective companies, and received an abundance of interviews. Thank you profusely for your assistance Ann!!
LAN Management / Financial Data Support

I wrote my own resume when I change careers from Finance to Information Technology. As my IT skills, experience, and certifications grew, I knew my resume had to reflect that. I chose Best Resumes of New York after speaking with Ann Baehr. She seemed knowledgeable and interested in helping me. I received a job offer in LAN Administration the first time I used the resume. I even had to leave my employer two months sooner then planned. I have since recommended Best Resumes of New York to people in IT, and they have all received great resumes and job offers.

Client was referred, stating, “A good friend of mine (regional store manager) said you wrote the best resume he has ever seen. “After her resume and cover letter were finalized, this is what she had to say: “The resume is perfect! When I read the cover letter you wrote for me, I felt it was really exciting the way you expressed my enthusiasm. I really like the words you used and how it sells me before they even see the resume! I’m going to start sending them out right away!”

So, we are good!!! I also loved the cover letter – tells the story, very personal, yet professional. Again, thank you so very much. Just wish I knew about you a year ago. Expect an increased workflow… 🙂
