Payment Information

We do not accept credit cards. Personal checks or cash only.
Full payment is expected at the conclusion of the initial interview unless
other arrangements have been made. Client satisfaction is guaranteed
or your money back. Fees for career development services are often tax
deductible. To find out if a specific service is tax deductible in your case,
please consult a tax professional or visit the IRS Web site.

1. Make certain that you can instantly provide dates relating to your employment and specific
   job titles (promotions). If necessary, please write them down so that you can quickly refer to
   them during the interview.
2. Bring a photocopy of your most recent résumé. A copy you do not need to have returned.
   We have no interest in borrowing the language of other résumé writers, but if we do not have
   to write down employer and academic names and dates, it will reduce the amount of your
   valuable time that you need to spend at our office.
3. Be prepared to respond to specific questions that demonstrate your level of responsibility.
   If you managed a warehouse, we will ask the number of square feet comprising that facility.
   If you administered a budget, we will want to know the approximate dollar-amount. If you are in
   outside sales, you will be asked to define your territory, indicate how many regular accounts you
   service, and perhaps mention a few key commercial client names. If you managed a restaurant,
   we will quiz you regarding the number of seats and the annual revenues. Certainly, if you supervise
   people, we will be asking you how many and whether any of them are management staff.
4. Be ready to address questions regarding your achievements relative to each of your
   employment experiences. Did you earn any awards, surpass sales goals, receive meritorious
   pay raises, promotions or bonuses? Did you come up with an idea that helped your employer
   save money or improve efficiency? Were you asked to be on a management or advisory
   committee? Were you recruited to head up a successful project such as the startup of a new
   operation or the oversight of a major capital improvement? How has your performance compared
   to that of your counterparts, your peers, your predecessor, or even your own performance the
   previous year?
5. If possible, try to provide us with a brief, one-line description of your current and former
   employer companies. (E.g., New Mexico office of America's second-largest distributor of
   commercial kitchen equipment, or New Mexico's largest Ford dealership, or a leading regional
   manufacturer of cardboard packaging products, or Santa Fe's only daily newspaper with a
   circulation of 25,000, etc.) Without a doubt, the easiest place to quickly gather this information
   is on the Web.
6. Bring a copy of one or two recent performance evaluations, one or two letters of
   recommendation, a newspaper review, or any other documentation that mentions you by name
   and indicates that you do a terrific job. We will carefully review these materials to extract a
   brief quote for inclusion on your résumé. To be sure, this is the most valuable thing you can
   bring to our office. Second-party testimonials rev up your résumé and always have a favorable
   impact on recruiters and managers. In fact, if you do not have any quotable materials, but feel
   certain that you can request and receive a letter from a former supervisor or professor, it is
   highly recommended that you do so. If it is helpful, you can have this material faxed directly to
   our office at 505 244-3469 or emailed to tjp@guerrillagraphix.com No cover sheet is required.
   These items will be returned when you receive your final package. If your current or former boss
   is not up to speed when it comes to writing letters of recommendation, click here for a quick
   overview on the subject. Writing effective letters of recommendation.
   
7. Relevant licenses, certifications and special training diplomas. You can actually bring the
   certificates if you like, however we prefer a handwritten or typed list.
8. (Executive package only) Three to five professional references. Ideally, the best people
   to use are current or former supervisors, managers, or senior officers. Try to carefully select
   individuals who will give "glowing reports" when contacted. Other people who can be used as
   references include customers & clients, suppliers, officers of professional organizations to
   which you belong, and recent professors with whom you have studied. We prefer that you
   email your professional references to our office either prior to your appointment or within three
   days after your appointment. As an option, you can bring your list of references neatly printed
   or typed on a piece of paper when you come for your appointment. The preferred format follows.
   Note that daytime phone numbers are best and that mailing addresses are not usually required,
   although we are happy to include them if you like. Email addresses can also be included at
   your option.
   *Note: When you receive your final package, it is an excellent idea to mail, fax or email a copy of your résumé to each
   of your listed references. Indicate that they should keep your résumé on hand at their office so that they can refer to it
   when taking calls from your prospective employers.
