COO Contacts Judith Sikora and Hires Her After Finding and Viewing Her H&R NETVYOU Virtual Interview Online!


Received from Ms. Sikora on Feb. 27, 2009: (This result is especially noteworthy because Ms. Sikora did not APPLY for the job. The COO found her online and was so impressed he CONTACTED HER and CREATED a position for her.)

I just received an offer! I will be the VP of Global Business Development for a successful contract manufacturing lab located in N. California.

It's amazing but it's true! Even in this economic climate, I landed a "hidden" job that was created for especially for me! While the company knew that they wanted to expand, they had not acted on that desire. But, when the company's COO found me on Linked In because of an article I had written on one of the group sites....he realized that I could be the person to spearhead the expansion he wanted. He emailed me, complimenting me on my attitude and spirit, in spite of being downsized.

Next, he viewed my "Visual Portfolio" and watched my NETVYOU Virtual Interview Video!!! He even watched a PowerPoint presentation that I posted on Linked In... He commented positively on each of them, and even had the CEO/Founder watch my NETVYOU video prior to getting approval to fly me up there.


When I arrived, I presented a PowerPoint "proposal" to the COO and CEO, quantifying exactly what I could do for them to grow their business. In line with H&R's mantra....I titled it: "Judith Sikora, a Person of Value". (They said it knocked their socks off!!)

Chris, if I had not signed up with H&R, I would not have had all of those extra deliverables (NETVYOU Intro Video, Visual Portflolio, UPshot, Executive Briefing, etc.) and strategies (PowerPoint, Interview Skills, effective use of LinkedIn, etc., etc.) available to distinguish myself from the sea of others, during this tough economic climate. I am sure of that! A big thank you to you and the excellent H&R staff for all of your support. I truly appreciate it!

Judith Sikora


Received from Manpower Professional's Director of Recruiting Teresa Hiatt, after speaking at a weekly H&R Candidate Meeting:

"I was so impressed with the caliber of your candidate group at yesterday's meeting. They are certainly not a cross-section of job seekers. It's obvious you work only with the best candidates."

Former Pharmacist Craig Pivo Lands Region Manager Position with Eli Lilly!


Received from Mr. Pivo on Feb. 3, 2009:

"There was not one single question asked that you had not thrown out there for me to digest...between the resume writing, cover letter and Upshot, they were totally blown away! ...When he saw my NETVYOU Intro Video disk...he was awed!

The first question asked of me on Thursday was 'Why should we pick you over the 100 other candidates we have interviewed?' My mouth opened and I just went on autopilot from what I described in my Intro Video. I have never felt so prepared for anything in my life!"

The H&R tools and training for me is the REASON I got the position."

Received from Apple One's Top Executive Recruiter Samantha Kolari:

"I appreciate your constant referral of top candidates to us. You're making my job easy by assisting with so many key placements. The resumes you provide are well done, and many of your candidates are more even more impressive in person than on their resumes. "

Tina Dortch Lands Key Position with Architectural Firm!


Received from Ms. Dortch on Jan. 20, 2009:

"As this historic day comes to an end, I have experienced a multitude of emotions."
(Note: Ms. Dortch is African-American, and this was the day of President Obama's inauguration.)

"I am so pleased to announce that earlier today I accepted the position of Business Director with a local architectural firm. I would like to stay connected with H&R and all of my fellow candidates.

You are revolutionizing your industry and continually putting more distance between yourselves and the so-called "career transition" firms, so many of which are a waste of time! I am so gratified that our paths crossed. Many, many thanks!"

Received from Leading Executive Search Firm Staffmark's Recruiter Carol Stieffermann:

"I have heard of your company and innovative products for some time now, and I think it is a tremendous concept. I love your products and services... and your candidates even better."

Gary Lea Has CEO's Calling Him to Interview after Watching His H&R NETVYOU Virtual Interview!


Received from Mr. Lea on Dec. 17, 2008:

"I can attest to how well this works. I have had four companies in the last month call me and interview me based strictly on sending my H&R NETVYOU Intro Video disk to the CEO or President in an Fed Ex package.

Two of the companies are on a hiring freeze until Jan./Feb., but they are staying in touch with me. Both have stated they would like to bring me on as soon as they can!. Working the H&R plan gets results!"

Vince Calabrese Uses H&R NETVYOU Virtual Interview to Bypass Human Resources and Interview Directly with Company President!


Received from Mr. Calabrese on Dec. 8, 2008:

"While speaking to Mr. Knopf the President, he said he was so impressed with my H&R Intro Video he said to himself...'I want to meet this guy!'

I had applied online, but then sent the link to my H&R Intro Video and my Upshot to follow-up, and it worked very well. It did exactly what it was meant to do, and that's MAKE THE PHONE RING!

He said he usually has his subordinates do the interviews, but because of my Intro Video and the Upshot, he interviewed me HIMSELF!!"


Gary Daniels Launches New Venture for Baskow & Associates!

Received from Mr. Daniels on Sept. 23, 2008:

"I have been hired by Baskow and Associates to launch the Las Vegas Speakers' Bureau. After two meetings with H&R's Loribeth Dalton and her encouragement to be both thorough and creative, I researched this company to see how I could add value to their business. My research uncovered that they had intended to start a speakers' bureau, but never did.

I met directly with CEO, Jackie Baskow and showed her how to gain up to 3 times the commission by booking speakers directly through her own bureau versus referring the business elsewhere.

Although I have only been with H&R a fairly short time, using just four of the tools H&R gave me was all I needed! I intend to continue with H&R, so I can add more tools that I am sure will be useful in the future as I continue to expand this business, or if for some reason this new venture doesn't work out.

Thank you for believing in me and providing the much needed guidance!"

Note: Mr. Daniels got hired before we could even shoot his video! He's coming in soon to shoot it.

Gerard de Marigny Gains New Confidence and Visibility...and Several Six-Figure Offers!


Received from Mr. de Marigny on July 15, 2008:

"H&R has certainly helped me a great deal, but I'm not sure you realize the value of the 'indirect' benefits of your services and your efforts. Directly, of course, you help top candidates land key positions, but more importantly, you opened my eyes to a new way of representing myself. The effect on me has been both dynamic and profound, dynamic in that I can continue to use it for the rest of my life, and profound because it has affected my entire life.

No longer do I wonder "IF" I will find a well-paying job. I came away from H&R with refined and superior netotiating skills. The proof of the pudding is in the eating: Since contracting with H&R in January 2008, I have been offered 3 six-figure positions, one I even passed on! How's that for confidence!!

It only took 74 days after signing on with H&R to receive my first $100K offer (the one I passed on), and I accepted an even better $100K+ job after about 90 days.

Due to my continuing online visibility with the Intro Video, after 90 more days I've been offered a position with another firm with even more upside. Chris, you were right - the jobs are looking for me!

Chris, reading your straight-forward and inspirational emails is like Skin Bracer every morning...keep 'em coming!"

Top Recruiters Use H&R as a Candidate "Pipeline". They Trust Our Judgement on Execs like Paul Minto and They Respect Our Selectivity!



Received from Crescent Solutions' Chuck Barrett on July 12, 2008:


"Chris, what a great group of candidates I met at your office last evening! How do you find such sharp needles in such a big haystack? Keep up the good work."


Bob Rose Uses H&R Techniques to Land Two Great Jobs Three Years Apart!

Received from Mr. Rose on Mar. 23, 2008:




"Using the same NETVYOU Intro Video you produced for me way back in 2005, and the timeless H&R wisdom, I have landed another great position. This time it's in New Jersey as Director of Operations with a clear path to COO, entering with a great salary, bonus structure, relocation package, benefits, and most important, a strong equity position to be vested in just over three years. Interviewing across 3,000 miles was no problem since I had the amazing Online Intro Video. A continuing dividend on a past investment."

I owe this to H&R and your tools and teachings. I kept my interviewing about what I could do to add value to the company, and I only focused on CEO's and owners. It's easy to drop down to the HR Dept., but I remembered your advice to go around them and straight to the boss!

As you trained me, I kept the emphasis off the resume and on how my experience could help with their particular needs, and it did the trick. I got an offer exactly three weeks after starting my search, since I still had the H&R tools and expertise to employ.

So, thanks for the coaching several years back. It worked for the California job in 2005, and it has worked again years later! You certainly 'taught me how to fish'...and land the big ones."

Received from Mr. Cort Christie, CEO of Nevada Corporate Headquarters, Las Vegas, NV, on Nov. 7, 2007:


"Chris, Myra Rabanal is working out great!!! You rock!!!

By the way, do you have any Telesales Directors who may be looking for an opportunty with me? I need your support on this one. Roughly $120,000 to $200,000 depending on experience.

Tom Stewart Negotiates More than Double His Inital Offer!


Received from Mr. Stewart on Oct. 29, 2007:

"Thanks to H&R for everything!

Surprise! surprise! another H&R success story. Sitting in my boxers, surfing the internet, and sending my same tired resume to every major securities firm wasn't working. My voice mail was full of messages from low brow insurance companies and minor financial firms...thanks to Monster.com ...Then I met H&R and everything changed.

Ten days ago I accepted a job with a major financial firm based locally. Look at the difference between what I was offered and what I accepted after lengthy negotiation:

Their Initial Offer: $65K total compensation, insurance for myself only, 1 week vacation.

Negotiated (thanks H&R!) and Accepted: $150K total compensation, insurance benefits for entire family, 3 weeks vacation.

Big thanks to Loribeth for the great classes on negotiation and interviewing. Amazing how well her advice works!

Jeff Borgida Gets New GM Position with Big Salary, Signing Bonus, and Great Benefits Package!!


Received from Mr. Borgida on Oct. 4, 2007:

"I agreed to a deal today with Allied Waste. I am the new General Manager in Seattle.

Thanks to H&R negotiation skills training, I was able to negotiate a $10,000 increase in Base Salary, a $20,000 increase in Signing Bonus, an additional 3 months of temp housing, 2 round-trip tickets per month during transition, and 90 days of COBRA they pay until benefits kick in...all over and above their original offer. They also agreed to an early salary review after six months. Loribeth, you said it would happen...and it did! I didn't even know some of these things were available until you taught me how to negotiate for them.

During my last set of interviews, I walked in with a very high degree of confidence in my ability to answer questions and communicate the value I could bring to an organization.

I wanted to pass on my sincerest thanks for all your help and assistance during this process. The H&R tools, bargaining savvy, and resources I know have I will carry with me forever. There is no question your program is highly effective, and if a candidate follows your guidance they WILL BE SUCCESSFUL.

I will be stopping in for a visit in the next week to thank you in person. I just wanted to share the great news and once again thank you for all you have done."


Deborah Mays Hired by Seven-Eleven as District Manager!


Received from Ms. Mays on Aug. 28, 2007:

"Chris, last weeek I told you Loribeth and Ellen that I had been offered a job as District Manager with 7-Eleven. I did accept the position and actually started with them this week.

I would like to continue to receive your group email messages for a while as I may be able to be a resource to some of the other H&R candidates.

Thanks again to you, Loribeth and Ellen for all your help in my being successful in getting the new job so soon."


Michael Stowers Secures $150K Package with Miami Company!


Received from Mr. Stowers on Aug. 23, 2007:

"Chris, I wanted to give you some feedback and to say 'Thank You' to you and your staff. Thank you for all the presentation feedback you gave me when I was putting mine together.

I have landed a position as Chief Operating Officer of a Utility Billing Company in Miami. The contract is for a base of $100K and a $50K performance bonus on top of that. I am very grateful for the negotiating and other guidance you have provided over the past months.

I can honestly say that when I signed on for your services I was skeptical that anyone could put such a different perspective on finding the right position. What attracted me was the intro video, but there was so much more to the process than I thought. Loribeth's resume help and her advice on how to interview effectively were invaluable to me.

If there is anyone who does not feel your process will work, please refer them to me. Once again, thank you for all the expertise and support."


David Conrad Got Beat Out by H&R Candidate and then Comes On Board Himself and Lands a Great Job!


Received from Mr. Conrad on Mar. 23, 2007:

"I knew what Ellen was telling me was true, because I was up for that same position at ABPA but Carey beat me out. I couldn't get seen by the COO Dan Maier like Carey did with the intro video, so I ended up interviewing with an H.R. person. I also didn't get a glowing endorsement from Chris Jenkins, who knew Carey and his abilities. I also didn't have the follow-up punch of anything like the PowerPoint show you guys prepared for him to show in the final interview.

Besides, the recruiter who submitted me would have charged ABPA a $30,000 fee to hire me, while Carey cost them practically nothing! Now I understand why Carey has the job and why I was at such a disadvantage. I want H&R on my side!"

Note: Four months later David Conrad was hired by Bally Technologies using exactly the same proven H&R tools and approach that has worked for Mr. Carey and hundreds of others.



Jennifer Schai Lands Dream Job at Lake Las Vegas!

Received from Ms. Schai in Oct. 10, 2006:

"As you know, I interviewed with four different executives at Lake Las Vegas, and I truly believe my communication skills and all of the tools H&R armed me with were very important in securing my Dream Job.

I wanted to take a moment and thank you again for your introduction to Lake Las Vegas - as you know, you made my dream come true! I still can't believe you got them to hire me when there was no opening.

My first day was awsome, and I'm really looking forward to learning more about the company. Please keep sending those emails and stay in touch! Thank you, again."
