BG, Chief Operating Officer

Marty is the best I’ve ever seen — a true partner! He is not only a master résumé writer but a career coach who deeply cares about his clients. I’ve referred countless executives to Marty over the years and his services always exceed my expectations. Marty is an absolute professional and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants résumé and career guidance that will differentiate them from the competition.

BG, Chief Operating Officer

GC, CEO & Chief Innovation Officer

Marty delivers EXCEPTIONAL value! When I was first introduced to him, I questioned how much impact he could have and whether it was truly worth the expense for what I already considered to be a reasonably strong résumé. Those questions vaporized after my first conversation with him. He attacked the challenge head-on, operated with professionalism and consistently validated his expertise in the category. He is proficient, hyper-productive, candid, and genuinely cares about the end result and YOU! The value exceeded what I paid and would use him again without hesitation. Best of all, his personality and sense of humor were a breath of fresh air. My best recommendation is to use him if you are looking to make an impact on your career!

JM, Digital Marketing

Marty is a results-oriented professional. When I was looking to put together a more impactful updated executive résumé and profile, a former co-worker told me that I had to work with Marty – and he sure was right! Marty was a pleasure to work with, being both professional and personable. He has a thorough process, asking thoughtful questions and digging for more information to ensure that a few short pages could most effectively capture and reflect years of experience.

I have been working in the medical space for over 20 plus years and I have been fortunate to work for and learn from some of the most dominating and globally recognized companies throughout my career. I found Martin Weitzman and I can honestly say that his overwhelming knowledge of several different industries taught me something about myself. I realized and “trusted” everything about what makes him very different from the other people and organizations that “try” to accomplish what he delivers. I plan on working with Marty and utilizing his knowledge for the rest of my career.

Highly recommend Marty’s résumé services.

PS, Chief Financial Officer

It is a pleasure for me to recommend Marty Weitzman. His service and added value are simply outstanding (as many other happy clients will attest). Marty is very talented at picking out the most pertinent information and figuring out how to convey one’s story in the right fashion. I could not have been happier with the rewrite he did for me….and it quickly allowed me to reposition myself and cinch a new exciting role as CFO of a $100 million company. “You will not regret hiring Marty Weitzman!

PS, Chief Financial Officer

DH, Chief Marketing Officer

Marty is amazing at helping you stay focused on what is important and relevant. He helped me turn my 7–page résumé filled with too much detail into a focused and professional work of art. I have gotten many compliments on my résumé since working with Marty and I could not have done it without him. He is a true professional and is very good at what he does. Well worth the spend. I highly recommend Marty to anyone who is looking to build a professional résumé that showcases who you are and what you are capable of.

DH, Chief Marketing Officer

PV, Senior Marketing Executive

Marty is the best – period! He did a phenomenal job on my résumé. He really helped me put my best foot forward. He has great depth of experience with recruiting, hiring etc., and it shows in his work. I recommend him to all who are looking for new jobs.

PV, Senior Marketing Executive

DA, Chief Technology Officer

Martin really helped me understand how best to market myself through the many conversations we had while creating my résumé. The meetings and conversations also helped me tremendously during the interview process. As a senior executive for the past 8 years I thought I knew how to present myself including via my résumé, but after working with Martin I came to realize how off the mark my “product” positioning really was. The net result was a résumé that makes clear my many accomplishments as a senior executive and oddly enough increased the pride I had in the impact I’ve had over the past 20 years.

DA, Chief Technology Officer

AP. Executive Director, Facilities and Administration

Marty is simply the best. He has done wonders for my résumé and made me realize what my accomplishments were. If you are looking for a résumé writer – he is the one. I have sent family members and friends to him as well and he will not disappoint.

AP. Executive Director, Facilities and Administration

Marty, I cannot thank you enough or say enough about your service. I have had 8 phone calls and more than 15 email responses since the distribution of my résumé in 1 week! I have recommended you to my fellow senior leaders as the résumé and cover letters are unparalleled. I have seen what’s out there and so far none of my colleagues, friends, competition, etc. have produced products that compare to yours. Thank you for taking such good care of me, helping me “put my best foot forward.” You truly get what you pay for.
