"Thank you for your article on career search strategies. It started me thinking about a host of creative ways to promote myself and my ideas. I then went to your website and was delighted to see that it is a treasure trove of relevant information; informative back articles, helpful tips and relevant news. The "Dear Victoria" feature is a fantastic idea! What a great resource!"

"Good morning dear friend,

This is not an excuse, but rather an explanation of how quickly things transpired for me last week. Because of your help and good counsel, I have found myself in a position with a company that I really like, really believe in, and one that has a moral position that I can live with. I've worked for a lot of people with questionable ethics. This company rewards hard work and decent values and respects people who operate with integrity and good will. How can I thank you. There are no soaps, no bubble bath salts, no perfume for this one. I can promise you that I will do my very best to make you proud that you've placed me there and that as always, I'll try to bring you business as we grow.

Thank you Victoria. You've made a really big difference in my life."

"I wanted you to know how much I appreciate the quality of work your team has provided e-centives over the past few months. Whenever I give you an assignment, the quality of the candidates you put in front of me are well beyond my expectations. You make my job difficult in some ways because the selection process can be more challenging with so many quality candidates to select from the pool. Your understanding of the candidates and your personal background in the direct marketing space has been invaluable in adapting to our express requirements and presenting spot-on people. As you know, e-centives has changed its business model and our investors expect rapid change and penetration of the new market opportunities. Thus far, our biggest challenge has been the personnel necessary to affect the new business model. Client Services and Sales have been the focus of the bulk of the personnel requirements that are mandatory to get the right people into the right roles and hit the ground running. Without the services of Victoria James Executive Search, Inc. on board, I could only assume that we would be way behind the curve. I owe my success to you! Again, thank you and if you ever need a reference on your service quality please send them my way. I am happy to share our success working with you to anyone who calls! Many thanks."

"Marge, thanks for keeping me informed- although the [company] outcome is disappointing, I really appreciate the communication and follow up- it's become rare these days, and really serves to distinguish you and Victoria James in a tough marketplace. In the meantime, if there is any way I can help you with networking on any future searches, please consider me a resource and an ally. Thanks again."

"I am writing to thank you and your staff for your absolutely outstanding support during my recent job search. I am now at comScore Networks where I will be developing the consumer electronics area for this exciting Internet measurement company.

As you know, a job search can be a lonely and frustrating experience for the individual involved. One goes from being proactive to a more reactive state. Networking and thorough research becomes very important to both the interviewing and evaluation process.

During our association you, Dan and Jane provided me with a number of intriguing possibilities for my next career move. These ranged from traditional direct marketing to new age companies. You always tried to find the right fit between my experience and the job qualifications. You were cognizant of my time and were quick to point out if you thought an opportunity was not right for me.

Your group also provided me with outstanding support and advice as I was going through the process. Your collective knowledge of the specific companies, individual executives and the industries they serve provided much needed background. Try as one might, one can never know everything about a company, but you three filled in the blanks.

This last search exposed me to dozens of recruiters and it became clear quite quickly if the recruiter really understood the business and the assignment. Many really don't! I can say without reservation that there is a considerable difference between your group's level of expertise and the rest of the pack.

Thanks again for your support. I hope to be able to return your kindnesses by sending an assignment your way some time in the future."
