GAIN THE CONFIDENCE YOU NEED TO
GET THE JOB YOU DESERVE!
Terri Berry is currently authoring a book similar to the
above title. The title is: Finding the Confidence You
Need to Get the Job You Deserve. The original title
was going to be "Job-Seeking for the Low Self-Esteem:
When the Smartest Guy in the Room IS You!"
It is important to sell yourself and negotiate your skills to
get the job you want. If you end up taking a position you
don't want, how do you market yourself to get what you do
want? If you do not have a job, how do you introduce
yourself back into the job market if previously employed?
How do you introduce yourself into the job market initially
if you've never been one of the employed? The first step is
to believe that you are the master at what you do. The
second step would be to place yourself in the role of a
salesman and sell your skills as easy as it was for the
salesman to sell you that car you drive or as easy as your
favorite shoes or favorite outfit sold themselves while on
display in your favorite store.
Someone could write the most powerful resume on earth
for you but that just gets you in the door. It does NOT get
you the job. We seek to provide you with the paperwork
and tools you need to get to where you want to be in
today's job market. Preparing your "display" is what we do.
Selling it and receiving the return on your investment is up
to you. With today's high unemployment, the outsourcing
of jobs, and the scarcity of jobs to those willing to work
more for less, YOU need an edge. Our goal is to help you
find it.

Planning for Success did a wonderful
job updating my resume. I would
highly recommend them. They really
helped me improve my resume so that
it was not only recognized but stood
above others in today’s job market.
Terri took a great deal of time and
consideration in working with me to
get my resume the way that I wanted
it. She was very professional and cares
a great deal for her clients. Planning
for Success does not just churn out
resumes for the masses. Instead, they
help customize each resume until it is
its own work of art.

Worked like a charm and was oohhh so
beautiful!!!!
I found Terri online with a list of
resume writers in N. VA. On a hunch ,
I called her and asked to retained her
services. When we met and she showed
my husband and I the resume, cover
and thank you letters, I was blown
away. My resume is quite extensive
and she took what I had and gave it a
facelift. I recognized the resume but not
the person. I was renewed!
I submitted the resume the next day
and got a call from a HR department
two days later. I had submitted my
resume to the same HR dept. several
times for similiar postions with no call
backs. I also got an Interview. That's
progress. RECOMMENDED TO
EVERYONE!!

Terri wrote an outstanding resume,
cover letter and thank you letter for
me . I used this for 2 positions I was
applying for in the medical field. Not
only was I offered one job but I was
offered both jobs! Her writing skills are
incredible!

Ashburn, VA
Someone else to do your dirty work!
As if looking for a job isn't difficult
enough! I loved being able to meet face
to face with Terri to discuss and review
my resume. The final product was
wonderful, and I got the hard copy. A
very affordable but decidedly not
cheap resource to assist you
overcoming the first (and sometimes
the hardest) obstacle in job hunting.
Writing your own resume can be like
cutting your own hair!

I was looking for a cheap economic way of
getting my resume update and giving a
complete make over. Then I run into Terry
Berry's ad online in the directory. I called
Terry and the rest is history.
From the first phone call to the finish
product. She showed experience, class,
knowledge , and the ability to ask and
listen to me about what I was looking for
and what I wanted.
She made my resume from average to way
above average marks.
Her ability to take what ever your career is
or your past experience and present it in
your resume is second to none. Every
sentence will make the reader smile and
crave to keep on reading your resume to
find out more about your experience and
career.
I will urge anyone considering upgrading
their resume or trying to create one to
consider Planning for Success for their
resume source.
Her price is very reasonable and affordable,
and the finish product is an absolute art
work of resume writing.
Please consider using Planning for Success.
I would.

Terri was very patient and helpful. She
took the time to learn about me and my
background to provide a thorough
overview of my experience. I would
recommend her to anyone looking to spice
up their resume.

"Wow! Is the one word that describes
Terri's writing ability. I wrote my own
resume and undersold myself. Terri,
however is a true professional who
assessed my skills and artfully described
my credentials. I know I look like the
professional I want on paper as well as in
person. My confidence has grown to
pursue better career options. I can't
thank Terri enough. She is a blessing
and my angel! I shared my resume with
my sister and neighbor, who are in HR,
and they stated I shouldn't have any
problems getting a position the way my
resume is written. They stated that's
you! Often times we undersell ourselves,
but it truly takes someone with people s
and writing skills to make you shine. I
now feel more confident to select my
career path instead of hunting for a job!
Terri's fee is affordable and I happily
made my payment without any
hesitation. The the best fee I've ever
spent."

Terri was able to take my old ugly
duckling resume and turn me into a
white swan. As I read the words on the
resume I found myself saying"is this
really me" She was involved, caring,
supportive always offering advice and a
true professional. I look forward to my
future now and know that the
opportunities are endless. I will share
her services with everyone I meet and
for sure I will use her again. Thank you
Terri for all you do for all of us.

John Gutter (Asst. Principal): Wow,
what an experience getting to know
Terri and see the metamorphosis that
she developed for my husbands’ resume.
After sending an obsolete resume to
Terri, she was able to compile
magnifically the knowledge and ability
that my husband lived and maintained
in the past several years. Her in depth
knowledge of my husband’s resume
included exacting verbiage tying in his
over-all longevity and expertise that
made him sound like he would be chosen
for any Presidents’ staff. I got very lucky
finding her website on line and I am glad
I did! Her extensive IT Background
certainly serves her well in helping and
creating a wonderful and dynamic
resume for everyone! She dazzled both
my husband and myself! Go….
