Kristi A. – Recruiter, Williamsburg, VA

I was in need of assistance in revamping my resume. I searched for some time for the right person and I came across Jeannine through LinkedIn. After talking with her, I knew she was the right fit for me. Jeannine took the time to learn about me and what I was looking for in my next role. She asked probing questions that dug into not only my previous experience but also into what a dream job meant to me. I felt like she took the time to get to know me, and the results showed that. She created a resume for me that I believed would make me a standout amongst other candidates. And I was right – I began receiving more responses from jobs that I applied to than I had before.

I have since landed a job at a really awesome company and I couldn’t be happier! I truly believe that my revamped resume that Jeannine created for me played a huge part in my getting noticed. Thank you, Jeannine!!

Tyler S. – Communication & Education Expert, Chesapeake, VA

“Jeannine is a wizard at creating resumes. I retired from the Navy 9 years ago and had trouble developing my resume to highlight my strengths. She took the time to review what I presented and was able to help rebrand me. I am ecstatic at her ability to tell my story. She is an amazing storyteller and I am more confident that I am going to land the right position because her resume is going to open doors that previously were closed.”

Conrad F. – IT Professional/DEV-SEC-OPS, Washington, D.C.

“The thing I really appreciated about Jeannine, in addition to her superb creativity and skills, was her ability to truly “listen” to my needs, interpret them, use her resourcefulness in creating multiple options (mockups) to choose from, and finish it up with excellent results! It was very evident that Jeannine truly cares for each client individually and loves her tradecraft. Moreover, I found Jeannine to be very patient and flexible while I was deciding on the best option to choose. I feel very blessed to have found and worked with Jeannine. You’ll be happy you did too! I whole heartedly recommend Jeannine for your career branding and coaching needs.”

Kelly H. – US Army JAG Retired, Seattle, WA

“I have known Jeannine for years and have seen the way she cares for her clients; always educating and motivating them how to put their best foot forward. So, when I needed career coaching for my transition from a military career to the private sector, she was my first choice. In coaching me, she has been invaluable by teaching me to translate my military experience into private-sector vernacular and being a sounding board as I discuss the options for my next professional adventure.”

Michelle J. – Author, Virginia Beach, VA

Through the guidance and mentoring of Dr. Jeannine Bennett, I went from being a stay at home mom wishing I had a career to being a published author.

Dr. Bennett’s belief in my abilities set me on a path of writing my memoir, a dream I thought would never come true! She walked me through every aspect of the writing world and continues to teach and advise. My memoir is a bestseller on Amazon because of all the hard work and dedication from her mentorship.

I can not speak highly enough of her admiration and belief in her clients. If you get the chance to work with her, and I hope you do, it will amaze you at what you can achieve.

I’m a transitioning service member who needed professional help to rework my resume and LinkedIn profile to aide in my success in a second career after the military. Jeannine Bennett seemed to be the right fit for this task based on her experience and background. She completed a modern and traditional resume, a government resume, cover letters and a LinkedIn facelift for me in a short time for a very affordable price.

The work of Vision to Purpose and Jeannine Bennett was phenomenal, everything she did was well thought out, explained and had my success in a second career in mind.

I would highly recommend Jeannine and Vision for Purpose to anyone needing help to ensure their success in any job search.

Dr. Tim F. – Professor – Virginia Beach, VA

I came to Jeannine Bennett at the end of 2017, highly frustrated because I was submitting my resume and CV to companies, and not able to even obtain an interview. I had paid several companies to rework my resume, but the service and the product I received was terrible. The service I received from Jeannine was personal and geared not only to my professional goals but also to industry standards. The result was the first company I submitted my application to after Jeannine made her corrections to my CV hired me. Her company is amazing!

Jeannine is a one-stop shop for transitioning career support. She helped me to not only transition from the military, but also facilitated my securing a job in the federal government. Her diverse background has made her an expert in preparing and coaching for interview questions, and ensures you are ready to impress. I emphatically trust her career advice and relied on her positive spirit and motivation to keep me focused during the trials of a job search.

Gary L. – Military Science Professor, US Army Retiring – Grand Island, NY

I am retiring from the Army and had developed a resume with a University Career Services office. As I went through the process it quickly became evident that the resume was not all it needed to be. Jeannine was affordable, prompt, extremely responsive, and produced an amazing product. It doesn’t even look like the two documents are talking about the same person. I have already told her that my wife and daughter will both now be working with her to update their resumes as well. I could not have been happier.

Anna Elise A. – Graduate Student, Georgetown University – Washington, D.C.

I found Jeannine through the LinkedIn Profinder. My search was to find someone to help me create a more mature resume, as I am now in the professional world. Out of the different offers for resume assistance, her profile and experience stood out. She was able to answer all of my questions, and her turnaround time for resume drafts was 2-3 days. Fantastic experience! I recommend her services to anyone needing guidance.

Parker T. – Graduate Student, University of Central Florida – Palm Beach Garden, FL

Jeannine was a wonderful resource for me, an entry level job seeker, during my job search. She went the extra mile, sending me opportunities that fit my interests that she found on her own time. I would highly recommend her, especially if you’re seeking federal employment.

David K. – Cyber Governance & Risk – Information Security Analysis/Cyber Assurance – Richmond, VA

My experience working with Jeannine was all around excellent. She worked with me to renew my resume and add a fresh update to my LinkedIn profile. She was extremely efficient in her communications and got right to work providing several new layouts with creative ways to capture the attention of those who will view your resume. Her insights on my LinkedIn page have also been very helpful. I’d recommend working with Jeannine if you’re looking for great results at a great value.

Lareina C. Marketing Consultant – Virginia Beach, VA

I have known Jeannine both personally and professionally for over 20 years. Her experience, persistence and desire to succeed has always drawn others to her. She is dedicated and enthusiastic about helping people no matter the situation and she has the life experience and professional credentials to do so. Give Jeannine a call to evaluate your career and direction. You won’t be disappointed!

Terry E. – LCDR USN/RET – Houston, TX

Look no further! Jeannine will get you the results! As a transitioning veteran, I was new to preparing for the private sector. I searched and spent hundreds of dollars on promises and expectations that didn’t work. When I finally found Vision to Purpose, Jeannine took me to the next level. After our first conversation, I was all in.

Jeannine understood my needs and took the time to listen to my objectives and prior experience to tailor the perfect package. That being said, I got everything Vision to Purpose offered.

Jeannine counseled me on what to do and how to do it. Through her vast experience in different sectors, she could cross-reference my skills to match the jobs of interest. The Cover Letter, Resume, and CV Jeannine created not only got me results and callbacks but provided me with employment opportunities.

I can’t say enough about how Vision to Purpose eased the strain of my transition and what Jeannine has done to help me succeed.

Kristen W. – Sales Manager – Charlotte, NC

Jeannine has been very supportive and such a great resource for me. She was so quick to draft my resumes and gave me several options- all which were just what I needed. I highly recommend her for your resume writing and career coaching needs! Thank you so much Jeannine!

Peter M. Information Technology Specialist – South Carolina

I just wanted to say the resume not only looks great, it was very effective. I should have written this months ago, because I got a great job back in February, and your resume was a big help. You had done a regular resume, but when you found out I was a veteran, you agreed to do a federal resume as well. You even researched the Government defined specifics of the jobs I would be applying to so you could create a more accurate resume that would make it through the Government’s computerized resume screen.

I used the federal resume you provided when I created my profile on USAJOBS.gov, and with a combination of my degree, my military service, and your resume, I had an assessment score of 90 out of 100 for a job that I applied to. I got a tentative offer in November, the official offer on February 3rd., and started work on Feb. 22nd. During the few months between November and February, I had to turn down an interview offer with a large IT company because I wanted the federal job, and was in the process of finalizing the necessary paperwork.

I never would have gotten that interview without your resume. Also, for the past few months, I have had numerous emails from companies and recruiters who saw the resume and wanted to talk with me. Sometimes I see the emails and think, where was this attention when I was unemployed, then I remember I never would have gotten this kind of attention because I wasn’t using your resume at that time.

Thanks again, what a great job you are doing, may God bless you, you are improving lives, you’ve certainly improved mine.

Dan H. Retired Navy Chief – Virginia Beach, VA

While pursuing adjunct teaching opportunities, I became frustrated. I felt as if my resume had fallen into the black hole because I was not getting any responses. Dr. Bennett reviewed my resume and helped me completely rewrite it. Not only did she guide me in the right direction with the resume, she also explained why the changes were necessary. Invaluable advice for which I am eternally grateful. I received immediate responses with the new product which ultimately led to not only one teaching position, but two.

Mark H. Vice President and Rear Admiral (USN/Retired) – Norfolk, VA

Jeannine Bennett is an exceptional leader who truly understands and effectively employs strategic communications. Dr. Bennett has been instrumental in bringing new ideas and new tools from concept to practical application. With the emergence of social media over the past few years, she effectively works with senior leaders who are unfamiliar with the full range of communication tools available and crafts an effective communication strategic plan to achieve desired results. Jeannine Bennett is a true professional in every respect and great to work with.

Susan H. – Communications & Public Affairs Expert – Stuttgart, Germany

Jeannine is the total package in business — highly intelligent, driven, goal-oriented, creative, passionate, and positive. She balances these attributes with the ability to focus on tactical details while seeing how they fit into the larger strategic picture. No job is too challenging for Jeannine. If she doesn’t know enough about a particular subject, she will proactively research it until she is the subject matter expert!

Kathy M. – Career Switcher – Roswell, GA

I had Dr. Bennett rework my resume as I’m switching careers. I have to say that I am highly impressed with her acumen and ability to accurately state what it was I trying to convey in my resume. I had responses immediately using the resume she devised. My new resume is completely different from my previous one and I love it. She was a pleasure to work with!
