Note from my healing journey | Favor Requested

Hi !
You know those times when life suddenly stops you in your tracks, and you're forced to hit the pause button? Yeah, that just happened to me over the Labor Day Weekend. I found myself in a situation I hadn't quite anticipated β laid up in a hospital with fractured and broken bones. I have a few months ahead of me of healing.
Honestly, those white-washed hospital walls weren't my favorite dΓ©cor. Amidst the routine checks and the way-too-early morning wake-ups by the nurse, my thoughts kept circling back to our journey with iRock Resumes. It's kind of wild to think that what began as my little passion project has now connected me with over 800 amazing individuals like you. Every story, every success, it's been nothing short of incredible.
Do you know the feeling of flipping through an old photo album? That's kind of how I feel right now. Remembering the late-night calls, the excitement in your voice when you landed that interview, the challenges, the setbacks, and oh, the victories of landing jobs! It feels like yesterday when we started this, and now, we're a family of over 800. Crazy, isn't it?
I can't help but feel this overwhelming sense of gratitude. For every resume tweak, job landing package project, every pep talk, every success story β I'm just so thankful. Thankful that you trusted me, that you shared your journey with me, and that we got to celebrate your successes together.
One of the things that kept coming back to me during my hospital stay was the impact of the work we've done together. Not just in terms of resumes or job placements, but the human connections, the shared dreams, the collective aspirations, and the challenges overcome. And that got me thinking β I would absolutely love to hear your story, in your own words. If our time together made a difference, no matter how big or small, would you share it with me?
I've set up this little Google Form to make it as easy as pie. You could share a snippet of your experience with us, whether that's a video clip or just a few heartfelt lines. Just fill in 4 questions (takes 3 minutes).
It's not just about marketing or a campaign; it's about showing others what's possible, and your success story can be the key.
To be honest - your story, your journey, they're not just testimonials. They're affirmations that keep me grounded, reminders of why all this began, to start. As I plan my next move with iRock, it would mean the world to me to hear from you.
As I slowly get back on my feet, both literally and figuratively, I find myself cherishing these connections even more. Every email, every message, every shared success β they mean the world to me. They're the fuel that keeps me going.
So, from my now familiar couch corner sipping on some warm tea, with healing bones and a heart full of gratitude, I want to say a big THANK YOU. For being more than a client, for becoming a chapter in this ongoing tale, and for making iRock Resumes what it is today.
P.S. Check out this tribute I gave to my husband, Irvin, who is taking good care of me. :-)
Big virtual hugs and lots of gratitude,
