Bobby Lonergan was a true resource in reframing my resume. His positivity and support helped me see the merits of my past work and accomplishments, as well as the value I can bring to my future positions. Bobby told “my story" on paper, so employers would take notice – it worked! Bobby truly wants his clients to succeed, not only in the workforce, but also in life. I highly recommend Bobby Lonergan!

Bobby made it possible for me to get a job in Honolulu, Hawaii! I have been employed with AT&T for 20 years and came across an internal job posting that was a once in a lifetime opportunity. The competition was strong, so I hired Bobby to coach me through his program and practice doing mock interviews to get me prepared. The practice paid off and his advice was spot on! I was awarded the job and two weeks later I moved from Dallas, TX to Honolulu, Hawaii. I could not have done it without Bobby and highly recommend him for Resume Writing and Interview Coaching. ALOHA!

In the fall of 2012, I learned that my employer was closing our facility. The first person I thought of when I was working on updating my resume was Bobby Lonergan. When I contacted Bobby to help me with updating my resume and to talk about interviewing tips, he quickly made the time to meet with me. I brought a copy of a resume that I had updated myself and we discussed all of the relevant items that should be on the resume. Bobby’s expertise was apparent as soon as our meeting began. He asked very specific questions regarding my industry experience and jobs preferences. When Bobby sent me the final copy of the new resume, I was AMAZED! Bobby knew exactly how to lay out the resume to ensure that it was concise yet contained all the details that would draw the interest of engineering recruiters. Bobby’s integrity and honesty allowed him to make my resume look great without embellishing. I sent out several resumes while applying for various positions at different companies. I was able to secure one of these positions and Bobby was a great help making sure my resume was perfect. Thank you, Bobby.
Key words about Bobby come to mind: Genuine, Honest, Integrity, Detail Oriented, Quick Turnaround

For the past 30 years I have been in Sales and Sales Management in the Furniture Industry. I have interviewed and hired hundreds of employees in my career. Recently, I decided to apply for some high-end competitive job opportunities and found myself on the other side of the interviewing table. My resume was outdated, and I had not interviewed in years. I have known Bobby for a few years, knew he is a man of great integrity, and knew he is a Resume Writer and Interview Coach. So, I thought I would ask for his help even though I didn’t really think I needed it. Boy am I glad I did! Bobby was able to bring me inside the mind of a recruiter, what they are looking for and what they are not. Through our discussions, I really tweaked and refined how I approached the whole interview process and organized myself to be prepared. Some of the ideas Bobby shared where truly profound and even eye opening. Bobby’s coaching took me from hopeful to being very excited about the opportunities to come. And my resume looks great! I would highly recommend Bobby to anyone at any stage of career to take advantage of the skills he has to make sure you nail your next interview!

Thank you so very much, Bobby! My resume looks amazing! I have struggled with explaining what I do on paper. Now I understand what you mean by making it SIZZLE! Your coaching has been extremely valuable. The career center at my college did not coach me in detail like you do. I landed the job of my dreams using my new resume and techniques you taught me. It was a pleasure working with you, and I will keep you posted on my success.

Thank you so much Bobby for your time and coaching with Andrew. You have been a critical piece of the high school admission process we had underestimated. Your invaluable and practical guidance along with your enthusiasm prepared him very well for his high school interviews.
Your genuine desire for Andrew to succeed and your unbound willingness to provide him additional support unlocked a confidence very few outside our family see. As you insightfully concluded he is mild mannered which at times may be perceived as disinterest. Andrew’s nature is reserved until he senses genuine interest from others. I knew you reached him Bobby when he immediately talked about your interview tips like the importance of eye contact and initial impressions upon pick up. While many highly qualified professionals are ubiquitous in the area, very few provide seasoned expertise AND sincere eagerness for the success of others, especially our young people.
Bobby, I see you truly advocate for your clients and believe in their potential. I thank you for your support and belief in Andrew’s potential.
In deep admiration and appreciation.

The summer of 2009 was a period I will never forget. After 26 years in the Financial Services Sector, I was laid off. The job market was very competitive and limited. I had many interviews but was never able to get beyond the initial interview stage. Then I met Bobby. Not only did Bobby provide support and encouragement, but he also offered a vast amount of information and interview techniques.
Bobby listened to the manner I interviewed and provided positive and constructive feedback. After receiving the coaching from Bobby, my skills improved tremendously. I had three interviews following his advice and had offers on all of them! It is a tremendous feeling of success being able to turn the interviews around and being able to sell yourself proactively.
I highly recommend Bobby Lonergan and his interview coaching skills he provided through seminars and webinars. I often think of Bobby and the support he provided during a difficult time in my career. Today, the job market continues to remain competitive, and I realize that interviews can be intimidating. Being able to stand out in the crowd is a critical element in any interviewing process and that is what Bobby does to help you succeed!

I was in transition in my career. I had been the Program Manager on a large DOD contract that ended after several years leaving me to explore my career options. Though there were many, there didn’t seem to be a clear path for me, as I was not sure what to do next. My resume had not been updated in a long time, my interview skills were stale, and the process seemed overwhelming. My next steps were uncertain.
I hired Coach Bobby to write my resume and to be my career coach to advise on applying my skills, experience, and career focus to plan for a successful approach and outcome. His input provided me a stronger mindset, confidence, and strategy that gave me more precise career direction.
My resume was more attractive, quantified my business impact and communicated my experience while giving me strong talking points. My interviews were more successful. With Bobby’s coaching, I was more confident and prepared. My first two interviews went very well, and now I am at a job I love! I highly recommend Bobby for Interview Coaching and Resume Writing. Trust me, you cannot go wrong!! Thanks Coach!!!

I am happy I had the opportunity to learn “how to succeed in an interview” from Mr. Lonergan. I had been uncertain of what to expect when interviewing at St. Mark’s School of Texas as I was the only person from my grade school St. Patrick, to apply there. I had always been comfortable around adults and consider myself a strong speaker. However, listening to Mr. Lonergan and his tips as well as having a practice interview with him gave me confidence before interviewing at St. Marks’s. He taught me what separates the good interview from the great one. It is a valuable experience that I would recommend to all. Now, I am proud to say that I am part of the freshman class at St. Marks, having been accepted there shortly after interviewing. I highly recommend Mr. Lonergan’s coaching and training to anyone looking to succeed in an interview by making a strong impression to an employer, school, or any other institution.

My son had a pleasant experience at his interview preparation with Coach Bobby. As it happened, Jack’s prep was the day before his first private school interview at St. Mark’s. As a parent, I was grateful to see how the prep work had built his confidence for the next day. He went into the interview positive and enthusiastic. St. Mark’s is a little different in that Jack had a group interview with two other applicants. When he came out smiling and happy, I knew he had a successful experience. Our son told me that he was much more prepared than the other two boys at the interview. He now attends St. Mark’s and is having a great experience academically, playing basketball and participating in crew.

I am so grateful for the time, enthusiasm and expertise Bobby Lonergan has provided our eighth graders as they prepare for high school interviews. Not only does he present an “Interviewing 101" class to equip them all with basic tools and skills needed, but he also committed to helping them practice these skills through one-on-one mock interviews. Mr. Lonergan presented information to the students so that they could understand it and apply it right away. The students consistently said that they hadn’t thought about many of the points he made but were so grateful for the tips. Mr. Lonergan’s coaching made them feel more confident and prepared for a process that intimidated many students. Parents and teachers are also grateful for Mr. Lonergan’s positive coaching style and the impact his expertise had on the students’ preparation and confidence. I would recommend Mr. Lonergan for anyone seeking an effective coach for a professional/educational transition.

Bobby is a recurring guest speaker for Path Forward, a career networking Group which I organize in Garland, TX. His knowledge of Resume Writing and Interview Coaching has been extremely VALUABLE to our members. As a Human Resources Professional, I know how important it is to prepare for an interview and stand above the competition. Bobby provides solid advice to give members a leg up in the interview process. As a result of his coaching, our members have stronger resumes, more confidence and clarity going into the interviews.

Thank you for a job well done working with our teenagers preparing for high school interviews! The coaching you provided has paid off in the number of students being accepted into the schools for which they applied. I can speak for Kevin in that he grew in his confidence after the session you had with him. Thank you so much!

Bobby motivates and shares details within the job market that are unique and very interesting. The Job Club Members of Rockwall and Terrell Workforce Commission were so interested in hearing more and more and have implemented many of the tips Bobby shared. Bobby is a great motivational coach offering a variety of services to companies and job seekers. We would like to recommend him to speak or train at any engagement.

Bobby recently finished production on his training DVD and I have to tell you that before I watched it, I felt very strongly (as someone who earns a living talking to people) that I would be prepared in an interview situation. But found myself astounded at the level of detail and preparation Bobby goes into. Bobby’s concepts and tips can seriously make you POP for the interviewer and ensure a place in in their mind throughout the hiring process. Bobby really helps you prepare for an interview and perform at your highest level.

Bobby is wonderful at putting words together on a resume to showcase work experience and academic achievements. I was transitioning back into the workforce after taking care of my kids and needed an updated resume. My good friend told me I needed to call Bobby because he is awesome, and she was right! When I met him, I was impressed with his active listening and questions to direct me towards my targeted job. I think everyone can benefit from an efficient resume. Bobby can definitely help you. It’s worth the investment!

Bobby Lonergan is a winner! In his time with the Zig Ziglar Corporation, he consistently exceeded his sales goals and his customer satisfaction expectations. He possesses the traits for success. He is a self-starter, he exhibits a strong work ethic, and his interpersonal skills are excellent. I have enjoyed his positive attitude and his ability to get the job done. You can trust Bobby as he is a man of his word.
