“Amazing. Got the first job I applied for. Added £16,400 to my salary.”

Brand Manager, Kraft Foods UK

“From the outset, Sam made it clear that his utter focus was on helping me achieve my goals.  I felt the impact of that commitment in every action Sam took – from a virtually instant response to my initial enquiry, through to a personal, direct and clear statement of what I could expect and by when, and at every stage subsequently. Sam delivered on time (which due to my crazy deadline for a job application caused him to work through the night!), exceeded my expectations, and blew me away with his insightful knack of honing in on my best skills.  I finished up with not only a diamond-grade CV but also a much deepened awareness of who I am, what I am good at, and what matters to me in career terms.  Who’d have thought getting a CV written would be tantamount to benefitting from a coaching lightning strike?!”

Kat A., Specialist Financial Consultant, London

“You helped me analyse what the two options implied in terms of both short- and long-term career prospects. You were able to direct me in an objective way, without pushing in either way, but leading me towards making up my own mind independently – and eventually choosing the best outcome, too.
I am still very pleased with the decision I made, which meant an immediate pay-rise, an increase in job responsibility and satisfaction. I know I can count on you saying just the right words, at the right time.”

Valeria Scognamiglio, Brand Manager, Italy (and now UK)

“I thought my CV was excellent. After 3 hours with Sam it was unrecognisable and got the job I wanted and increased my salary. Thank you.”

Senior Product Manager, L’Oreal Luxury Products, UK

“I am very pleased to recommend Sam Waterfall. I used his advice in professional CV writing and his LinkedIn profile SEO service. Before we began working together, Sam took time to understand my objectives. His commercial and marketing experience as well as his broader understanding of multiple industries and levels has enabled Sam to appreciate individual needs & objectives and to reflect these appropriately in a ‘high impact CV’. It is very pleasant and professional to work with Sam. His services offer value for money and he goes the extra mile in his advice in meeting client’s expectation and thus I am very happy to recommend Sam Waterfall.”

Aman Khan, Senior Executive / CEO, Germany

“After a couple of years on the shelf, my c.v. required some dusting off and Sam’s concise advice helped to sharpen and focus it. Not only did he help me to secure the first role that I had targeted, but was pivotal in facilitating what has become a welcome career change.”

By email: Tim Sollis, Senior Brand Marketing Professional, UK & Netherlands

“I have been in the recruitment industry for 7 years and I see approximately 100 C.V’s per day, and thought this will be an interesting exercise! [Updating the CV of a Recruitment Industry Veteran] Anyway I thought I would give Sam the opportunity and we firstly had a very thorough and interesting telephone conversation whereas Sam discussed my CV at great length!

After the call had finished I felt fantastic and soon realized Sam had pointed out qualities and experiences that were very relevant that I had not even considered detailing in my C.V.

I would go as far to say that the discussion I had with Sam that day was ‘The highlight of the day’. Sam has a natural ability to build an individual’s confidence and create a C.V that will stand ‘head and shoulders’ above any opposition in what is probably the most difficult time that candidates are faced with…

I will not hesitate to refer future clients to Sam as I have received a top class service! Many thanks again.”

By email from: Rachael Nixon, Mananging Director, The Recruitment Solution.

“Sam worked with a member of my family to help him market himself through his CV. He went the extra mile to understand what we needed, and came up with some wonderfully positive and creative concepts which I have no doubt will mark a career turning point for us. Personable and with high integrity.” May 7, 2009

David Marks, London UK

“Expert and good value! Sam helped my application to medical consultancy work which required a complete reworking of my CV and how to approach marketing myself in terms of business skills.” November 30, 2009

Dr. Patrick Byrne, Medical Doctor & General Practitioner, Cambridge, UK

“Great Results! Sam helped to enhance the presentation and content of my CV through his coaching service inexorably. He has remarkable attention to detail and suggested many changes to a CV that I previously thought was as good as it could get. I would highly recommend this service.”

Amanda Green, Senior Retail Marketing Professional, Australia

Taking the time to understand an industry that may have been a little alien to you at first and doing so with inthusiasum show true comittment to your clients. You take your time to build a friendship so that you understand were peoples asperasions lay. As for recommending your service ,with out any doubt . All the best mate Lee”

By email from: Lee Wright, Heavy Construction, New Zealand.

“When Sam and I started working on my CV I was very excited to hear all the positive feedback on it.

We first started the work by going through the CV I had at that time. We read through my job positions and descriptions and Sam asked me to explain what I meant by my descriptions. Just within the first minutes I had realised how much more potential I had and thus my CV.

By asking me questions to describe my responsibilities at my job I was able see more qualities. Sam prompted me to think about my own qualities and saw how much I have and have not previously included in my cv. Qualities that are personal and make difference.

My CV has adopted a very professional look and content to it, and the best is that it is all me, and all more unique than I could have thought of.

When I went into an interview with a recruitment agent, I was not my usual nervous self, about how I am going to present my qualities, whether I am going to miss something that would have been ‘the thing’ to say but I thought of it on my way out the door. I was however worried about how I am going live up to my new CV.  Turns out I didn’t have to worry a single bit because what the CV did for me is to teach me about myself and my positive qualities which I would usually omit when in an interview. But now it was all… well… just right.”

Adriana Stoyanova, Consumer Research & Marketing Professional, Bulgaria and now London, UK.

“I decided to use Sam’s professional services to update my CV. I had never sought professional help before and was unsure of what to expect. However I sent Sam my old CV and he provided me with a very helpful consultation on the strength and weaknesses he identified in my CV and the importance of promoting my skills and experience in a positive and constructive way.

Sam explained the services he provided with drafting CVs and the costs implications. I had no hesitation in engaging him to draft my CV as I felt that he would be more objective than I could ever be in ensuring that the essence of my relevant skills and experience was captured succinctly in my CV. 

I had a very helpful pre-write interview where with Sam’s help I was able to look at my achievements and my character in a positively critical way which I feel will be very helpful when preparing for interviews. Through the pre-write interview he made me look at my experiences from a different perspective, namely that of the recruiting employer which again has been invaluable.

I was very impressed with the high impact CV Sam drafted as it made all my skills and experience stand out, was concise and to the point. The service I received was excellent and this made me engage Sam to coach me thorough my LinkedIn Profile. Sam very patiently went through many functions available to LinkedIn users which I was not aware of and explained how I could make better use of the social network to benefit my career. 

I believe that the service I received in updating my CV and LinkedIn profile through Interview Doctors was worth every penny I spent and that I certainly received value for money. I will definitely recommend Sam’s professional services to friends and colleagues.  

S. M. Solicitor, London

Hi Sam, 

I wanted to thank you for encouraging me to get involved in LinkedIn with your talk at Newcastle University Business School. I joined a group called FC Business and started a discussion in it, one thing led to another and I have now been asked for marketing advice from a town football club in Ireland, who I hope I can now work with. 

This wouldn’t have happened without LinkedIn, so thanks for the encouragement! 

Hope all is well, 

Adam Renshaw, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK

I stumbled across a video of Sam on youtube. I was at a loss for writing my first proper CV in marketing, and desperate to start looking for a new job with more money. It had not even occurred to me to get someone to help me with this, but I have really never been good at writing CV’s.

I was extremely impressed with Sam’s description of what he did on video, so I visited his site and sent an enquiry. I was then more impressed at the speed of Sam’s response, and we ended up having a conversation that evening. Sam works with a lot of top level executives in the marketing industry, considering I am only in my first proper job he made me feel extremely positive about my experience and skills, which really boosted my confidence and self esteem.

In our first session Sam went over my CV and highlighted the gaps and areas for improvement, and he spent a good deal of time coaching me on the things I should do to help with improving my prospects. One thing that I was really impressed with was the detailed analysis of my skills and the specific role that would be most suitable to me, I found this brilliant as I have not had it before.

We have decided to carry on with monthly coaching sessions and writing a CV that I can grow into and land my dream job with more money. Following my coaching with Sam I feel totally revived and positive, with a clear focus on what I need to do. I am certain with Sam’s excellent guidance I will go far!
