Testimonials

 

“I have worked with Linda for many years. She has always been, and still is, a pleasure to work with. Her high energy level and constant positive attitude has been a key to her success! For as long as I have known her she has been relentless at being the best she can be given her chosen field.  I got to experience this first hand over the summer of 2009 when I was without a job for the first time in my 20+ years in my industry. Linda provided me the insight, guidance, and positive reinforcement that I needed at a time when it was critical for me to remain upbeat.
I strongly recommend Linda and her organization “Back to Business” for anyone that is looking for a positive and rewarding career search or change.”

 


 

“When I first met Linda Waters I had been unemployed for nearly 18 months. I had been checking the job boards and newspapers and had applied for a number of positions for which I was qualified. I interviewed for a few and would get no response on others. I started to become more and more frustrated and my self-esteem and confidence levels were at an all-time low.

 


 

“Meeting with Linda in her warm and welcoming office put me at ease right away. Her positive attitude and contagious smile confirmed in my mind that I had made the right decision in coming to Back to Business for career advice. The Myers-Briggs and self-assessment profiles were enlightening! Realizing my personality type, how I process information and what industries I should be looking at is invaluable going forward. I recommend taking these assessments to anyone starting a job search. Linda helped me realize that a job interview is not an interrogation. It’s a two-way street. I am also interviewing the company! The knowledge I’ve gained from working with Back to Business has given me the ability to put myself out into the job market again with confidence. Everything from self-assessments and interviewing to brushing up on computer skills. Linda and the Back to Business team can help. ”

 


 

“…The most valuable thing that I took away from our time together was that I actually learned what drives me and what unique skills I bring to employers. Previous to our session together, my resume was quite wordy and it was difficult to determine what skills I possessed and wanted to focus on.  After our session, my resume was clear, concise and divided into several key sections identifying my skills. Not only did we rewrite my resume, but more importantly I also learned more about myself.  We also came up with my value statements which I am now using during my informational interviews and I am on my way towards finding a new career. ”

 


 

“Thank you very much for your help and support during my job search. Your faith in me was wonderful to have and to this day helps give me confidence that I will succeed in this role! ”

 


 

“Linda was one of the first people I called when I was laid off. She worked with me not only to develop my resume but also my confidence, look and entire approach to finding my next career.

I looked forward to working with her then, and I look forward now to referring other women to her for consultation.

She gave me good and new insight into my resume, skills, talents etc. With Linda anything is possible! I needed that when I hired her to help me move to the next career in my life.
