"Bonnie is the most tenacious and thorough person I've ever met. We first met just after I had been downsized from a senior executive position. She was unlike any recruiter I had worked with. She wanted to understand me, my goals and career aspirations and developed an exclusive strategy just for me. She coached me through the process and helped me develop a plan, where I was an active participant. Working as a team, we landed one of the positions we targeted from the beginning. I couldn't have done it without her. Each opportunity was carefully planned and executed. There was no “one size fits all” approach.  Based on her style and approach, I've confidently used Bonnie to recruit other key executive positions in my company and would highly recommend her to help you."  Steve M.

"Bonnie was instrumental in finding me a new opportunity when I was desperately in need of a change in my professional and personal life. I highly recommend her as someone who will become completely invested in you as a whole person and will have your best interest at heart. She took the time to really get to know me and to understand my personal and professional goals. She was very hands on and assisted me in my job search in many ways – she refreshed my resume to make it really stand out and grab the attention of the reader, she uncovered job opportunities that I wouldn't have found for myself, and was very creative in negotiating an opportunity that was tailored to me. I give Bonnie a five star rating out of five for the way she managed my job search and delivered on securing a new job that has done wonders for my professional and personal life."  Karen C.

"Finding the right career path and new position never seems more attainable than with Bonnie Goldman at your side. Bonnie is very invested with those she works with and will dedicate all the time needed to make sure her client is putting themselves in the best situation possible. Bonnie is extremely thorough in her work and makes sure everything that can be done, is. Working with her has, and will always be, an absolute pleasure!"  Sean B.

"Looking for a job can be scary, especially when you had only four employers over the past 30 years and your previous position lasted over 15 years. You would think longevity and dedication would count for something but I felt that it pigeonholed me to a narrow field of positions. I thought that my skills would appear limited in looking for a new position.

Prior to talking with Bonnie, I was concerned, I knew that my old resume was not going to work in 2015 and I was nervous about my ability to find a job. To begin with, Bonnie helped me see the many skills that I had (more than I realized) and how these skills matched with many different job possibilities. She helped me narrow my focus to a field based on my skills. She helped me create an updated contemporary resume highlighting my skills and taught me how to write a cover letter based on the job description. 

Most important, Bonnie gave me the confidence needed to go out and land a great new position. Thank you!"  Karen K.

"I have worked with Bonnie Goldman as a candidate and multiple times as a client and have had tremendous success in both areas. She has been in her profession for many years and has been very successful fulfilling her clients and candidates requirements. I have a high regard for her professional capabilities and the ease of working with her as a client and candidate. She has a tremendous amount of patience and expertise ensuring a successful outcome. The success is attributed to her approach as follows.

Seeking a new position can be a daunting task. The issue which we never consider is that seeking a new position is not a single task it is rather a multitude of “minor” tasks evolving into a successful completion – “the offer of a new position”. My personal experience with this process, which occurred a few times, left me bewildered and mentally exhausted – until I met Bonnie Goldman. She put me at ease and mitigated many concerns that I had relating to seeking a new position. 

After our initial conversation, unlike most other professionals, Bonnie detailed specific manageable tasks. We reviewed each step and agreed with the approach. This fit into Bonnie’s overall approach to reach a smooth successful employment engagement.

Bonnie has an innate ability to research and comprehend a client’s requirements as well as assessing the client’s culture. She also applies these talents to the candidate. To accomplish this assessment, Bonnie expends substantial time interviewing the candidate and assesses the existing resume. She also evaluates the individuals’ personality to ensure a good fit within the clients’ corporate structure. The “personality” factor is also of paramount importance for a successful interview and job offer. Many individuals and professional counselors do not take this into consideration as Bonnie does.

Bonnie restructures the resume highlighting the individuals’ accomplishments as they relate to the clients’ requirements. To ensure a viable match and an effective interview, Bonnie reviews the candidates’ expertise and accomplishments as well as the candidates’ personality with her client thereby ensuring the clients’ salient requirements were addressed. Further, Bonnie reviews the clients’ requirements and corporate structure with the candidate thereby providing the candidate a solid understanding as to what to expect during the interview.

This may seem like a lengthy process. However Bonnie’s additional skill is to move quickly and precisely from start to finish thereby ensuring an interview in a timely basis.

Bonnie’s professional approach combined with her reliability and personality made it a pleasurable experience engaging with her each and every time."

She organized my CV, shaped my experiences, and created a compelling resume that bridged the gap in order for me to pursue a role in banking and at a comparable level. Her finished product helped me secure interviews at 7 major financial services firms. I accepted an offer in corporate strategy at a major financial institution and couldn’t have done so without Bonnie’s strategic and tactical support and unique resume that distinguished me from other candidates.”  Josh P.

She is patient and gentle but she will ask the hard questions to insure your answers show you in the best light. She is a people person and her focus leaves you feeling like you are the most important person she is working with. You will never feel like just a number with her.

"I went to Bonnie just one year out of college in a job that wasn’t the right fit. I didn’t feel equipped to re-enter the job market nor did I know how to show off my experience and interests to employers via my resume and cover letters. 

Bonnie helped me evaluate my professional background, education, and real-world experience to pinpoint a career that aligned with my passions. After in-depth chats, she customized my resume and helped me jump into a job hunt. Her personalized guidance and insight on the job search process gave me the boost I needed to confidently start connecting with employers and land interviews. 

I wanted to find a job and company that would provide opportunities and growth. Bonnie helped me understand what I was looking for and prepped me for each interview. She taught me how to pitch myself and helped me prepare the right questions to ask to make sure I was finding the right fit, in addition to nailing the interview. 

I am now working for a company I love and in a role that I could have only dreamed of at this point in my career. Thanks to Bonnie I had the confidence to put myself out there, make critical choices, be selective in my search, and pursue a career that I didn’t even know I was ready for!

I loved working with Bonnie and know others will too!"  Jenna K.

She is a dedicated individual and she knows how to make you stand out with her skills of taking a resume and transforming it so employers shows an interest.

"When I was struggling to get companies to respond to my resume. I went to GanzGoldman for help. Bonnie Goldman reworked my resume in a way that not only made these companies take a new look at me, but, helped me get the job I wanted. She took the time to genuinely get to know me. Bonnie talked to me, asked me questions, and truly listened to learn what I had to offer a company and how to present it. In the end, Bonnie created a resume that reflected my career history in a way that emphasized my accomplishments, skills, and personality. 

In addition, to resume writing, Bonnie prepared me for the interview by   walking me through the process - asking me questions a company could       ask me, explaining how to respond so that my skills and personality            were highlighted. When I finally did get an offer, Bonnie used her own negotiating skills and perseverance to secure a higher salary for me than       the company was originally offering."  Stacey T.

"Bonnie…Where do I start? My interactions with Bonnie started when I was unhappy with where I was, but more importantly hadn’t been on the market for 6 years running.  I was scared to get back into the market, but desperate to get out of the job I was in.  I honestly don’t recall if she reached out to me or if I her…either way the connection was definitely serendipitous!  Why? Bonnie not only is a keen observer of behavior and need, she is kind and helpful.  In the state I was in…desperate…she read me so thoroughly. She kept me from making common and not so common mistakes in preparing my resume, researching and grooming me for the interview and helping me curate my communication back after the interview. 

Something I realized after I got the first interview and more comprehensively after I actually got the position was the level of detail Bonnie exhibited in not only helping me with my resume but in facilitating the needs of my future and ensuring  that  my resume did not only show me in the best light but also would show me in a light that the hiring manager would recognize/understand.  Many people would say there is a specific style in which a resume should be written, but like any presentation of material unfamiliar to the audience, it has to resonate to that audience. 

Bonnie deconstructed my resume using my own lexicon, took the time to understand that lexicon and in essence translate it to a language that was specific and that would connect with this new audience (my future manager).  If you knew the person that would eventually become my boss and further down the line even a friend, she was a tough person to crack.  Bonnie had to create a persuasive argument without it feeling as such…The word salesperson has become synonymous with a slimy, manipulative opportunist.  Bonnie sold me to my future boss, not by manipulating the facts, but understanding me, my boss and that rarified ground in-between us.  I too feel the concept of sales is manipulative and dishonest, the closest definition that I can come up with is…diplomat.  A true diplomat is there for the common good and that is what Bonnie eventually lead me and my boss to…a common good that lasted for the next 6 years and only ended because of the company being sold.

Bonnie is insightful, honest and most of all looking to help you in your endeavors without forcing her own agenda.  She is there for you…and the best part she is there to make you look your best.  There is no coloring or shading the truth…she helps you present yourself in an honest and truthful way without over extending your qualifications.  In essence she allows you to understand your strengths so you can express them clearly and succinctly to your greatest advantage.  Oh yeah and by the way, the first position she ever placed me in…I met my wife, but remember past results cannot guarantee future performance (I mean regarding the life partner." :  -)    Bill M.

“As someone who has always had trouble promoting myself, Bonnie was indispensable in helping me craft a resume that spoke to my accomplishments in a way that I couldn’t articulate on my on own. I would recommend her services to any talented person that could benefit from hiring some tenacity in their corner.”  Jason K.

"I have had the pleasure of working with Bonnie for the past 20 years. She is an extremely hard-working and personable professional who helped me (and so many others in my field) secure perfectly matched roles. Bonnie provided professional guidance; advice and mentoring to me in advance of any in-person interview with prospective employers and was a top-notch negotiator. I was especially amazed how Bonnie was able to secure an interview with a company when she was not yet on their company preferred vendor list. A recruitment triumph indeed!  

While Bonnie was knowledgeable about company requirements and prepared me well with Role expectations, Bonnie provided an amazing service that went well beyond the job requirements. Every job seeker will attest that not only do they need to ‘get in the door’, but, they need a strong resume/cv to keep them ‘in the door’. Bonnie helps every one of her clients by tailoring each resume/cv to highlight personal strengths and professional experiences in a way that would cause any prospective employer to immediately want to reach out for that initial meeting. Bonnie’s resume revisions are a combination of her insights into what employers need in a candidate and the ability to match her candidates strengths, in a magical way on paper. 

Any great candidate needs a great cover story and a great resume/cv.  Bonnie does that for all of her clients by helping to present everyone in their best light.  You will find that with Bonnie’s resume/cv revisions, you too, can feel confident that your strengths will be highlighted in a way that will get you in the door. It all starts with the perfect story!"  Louise J.

"Bonnie is such a lovely, caring, and knowledgeable person to work with. If you’re wondering whether or not to work with her, wonder no more! She was instrumental for my partner and me in getting us our dream jobs. 

She consistently provides high quality products that’s sure to bring you satisfaction no matter what your specific goals are. Bonnie took the time to get to know us and our needs before anything else, fostering a sense of connection and trust. She always had our best interests in mind and worked diligently to help us reach our goals. 

She goes above and beyond and is passionate about what she does. This is shown in the way she runs her business and how she communicates with people. Nothing gets past Bonnie, as she has a keen eye for detail, works with precision, and has experience that provides her (and you as the client) with great insight and tips for success. She’s easy to talk with and has a genuine personality that’ll make you feel as though you’ve known her forever. We’re so grateful for everything Bonnie’s done for us, and we can’t recommend her highly enough!"  Nicole R.

"Bonnie transformed my previous resume into an incredibly well organized and professional resume. You think you know the proper formatting of a resume, and then Bonnie comes around. She reformatted my resume, making it very professional in appearance and suitable for applications. She was very detail oriented, constantly keeping in contact with me to ensure that all of my dates and previous job addresses were as accurate as possible. She looked into further job descriptions for optimal descriptions, making them even more detailed than I had (the person who performed the job). She completed the resume in a very timely fashion as well. I am a physician assistant and she took the time to look up my career to make sure the resume was suitable and catered to my profession. I could not have asked for a better experience working with Bonnie. The time, effort, and most importantly, care she put into this is something you simply will not get elsewhere. I would recommend her 10 times over!"  Sydney W.

"Bonnie was instrumental in helping me find a job when I was laid off. Fortunately for me she was very familiar with the type of work I did and the type of companies that typically look for people of my expertise. She took the time to really get to know me and what I was looking for. She realized the importance of not just finding me a job, but placing me in an organization that would be a good fit for me.

An important aspect of the job search was recreating my resume. After an extensive interview about my education, work experience and achievements she tailored my resume to reflect in the most positive the experience I could bring to a perspective employer. 

Realizing that each employer’s needs are different she was able to create several resumes tailored to positions in various industries. Doing this enabled her to get me interviews with many prospective employers, increasing my chances of getting a job.

Lastly, she gave me good advice on proper interview etiquette. We covered topics from the interview process, personal presentation, connecting with prospective employers, salary negotiation and post interview follow up.

Bonnie will take you under her wing and guide you through the entire process with excellent results. The difference with Bonnie is that she will provide a more comprehensive and personal approach in finding you a job. Most recruiters I met won’t provide you with this level of help and personal service.

Based on experience, professionalism, insight and her character she was the most qualified person I met who was able to help me find a job." Rob H.

"When Bonnie Goldman reached out to me, I did not know what I was getting myself into. I worked with about three recruiting firms in the past and had horrible service ranging from never hearing from them again to jobs I did not even come close to qualifying for.  

As a recent graduate and someone who worked the whole time I was going to college, I am overwhelmed with constant messages and spam from LinkedIn making it very difficult to trust anyone, let alone a random unexpected phone call. Having these negative prior experiences, I was very hesitant when I answered the phone from an unknown number that would quickly change my life. 

For the first time, I felt someone was trying to get to know me, and it did not feel like the typical recruiter getting to know me. This was personal and reassuring. I soon learned how very different it was working with Bonnie from a recruiter or a headhunter just trying to fill positions. I did not feel rushed or pressured like prior companies I had worked with. Bonnie gave me an in-depth description of the position she was working on and company background, which hit all of the marks I wanted for a career advancement on paper. Still, I was a little hesitant, but I decided to proceed and send Bonnie my resume. 

From there, Bonnie started to work her magic. She created a new resume for me that emphasized the most important aspects of my background and goals, and eliminated information that was unnecessary and created clutter. By the time she finished, I was proud to look at my resume. My accomplishments and hard work were written out in a way that I could not express fully on my own. Bonnie made me shine.

Within a week, I was scheduled for an interview with the proposed company. Bonnie guided and helped me with my interview prep, making me feel super confident and empowered with my resume, questions, and a proper interview look. Prior to the interview date, she gave an itinerary that contained all of the information for me. We followed up the interview with a well-constructed follow up email. 

I ended up getting the position, and Bonnie was there to negotiate and advocate everything for me. Bonnie was accommodating and made sure we did everything according to my priorities and needs. She even got me a higher salary than the starting rate! 

If I did not have Bonnie, I would never have grown my career and taken the steps out of my prior role that I had for four years. She gave me the courage and tools to grow and push myself. I had an amazing experience with Bonnie and would strongly urge people to work with Bonnie, since she is well-versed in the field, encouraging, and most of all, personable."  James S.

"I had the pleasure of working with Bonnie while I was looking for that next step in my career. Bonnie worked closely with me to revamp my resume. Bonnie's attention to detail was superb as she put together a chronological resume with all the key searchable words.  

Shortly after utilizing my new resume, I received an invite to interview for a VP of Technology position. Bonnie and I worked closely again as Bonnie helped me prepare for the interview. Bonnie compared the job description to my background and we worked through mock interviews so I could easily translate my experiences into value for the client. With Bonnie's help. I made it to the final round of interviews which I directly attribute to Bonnie's diligent and superior knowledge in the resume and interview preparation arenas.

I would highly recommend working with Bonnie if you are searching for employment or looking for that next step in your career."     Frank B.

"I met Bonnie by accident in 2012 as she was a friend of friend. But upon reflection now, I think it was fate that led me to her.  

I was filled with fear about my uncertain future. Maybe even paralyzed by the unknown and by the looming choices I was supposed to make. Which path could I go down, which fork in the road was the right choice?  

I was just laid off from a 30 year career at The New York Times and I had to reflect on what I now wanted to do ‘when I grew up.’ But I was a parent and responsible for children. I didn’t want to waste a moment trying to figure out who I was and what I could do and get paid a livable salary. I was facing the reality of time ticking by faster than I could count the days.

My story started in 1979 and I had just graduated from a prestigious college with a BS in English. I wanted to be an actress, but instead I got a job at The Times because I went to Empire Business School and learned how to type…The fat brown fox jumped over the bridge…I could type plus I could sell you the Brooklyn Bridge with my eyes closed. I did both and more, extremely well. And then thirty years and multiple departments and titles later, it was over. 

I had to reinvent myself in my 50s. I was beyond scared. I had 2 children and only knew one industry and I was clueless about what to do next. How to search for a job? How to write a resume? And how to stand out in an inbox filled with resumes of people younger and quicker and more than me…or so I thought. And then I met Bonnie. And I am so grateful that I had her help, her guidance, her wisdom and her determination to help.

She did more than help me land a job I love. My morale was way below downtown Manhattan. In working closely with Bonnie, she boosted my morale 100 which enabled me to feel good about myself. Through her immersive process, Bonnie created my ‘story’ and personal brand. She helped me find out about my strengths, my ability to compete, becoming marketable and standing out among the masses. And together we reinvented ‘my wheel’.

If you are looking for that perfect job, wanting to make a change but afraid to jump…call Bonnie to “talk to her.” She is driven to help you discover what you are truly capable of becoming. To find that perfect opportunity to love what you are doing, let her guide you and show you how to get there. You will not be wasting a single second of your time, she truly is a gift that will keep on giving every day that you will be working in the job of your dreams…I promise.”
