“I have worked professionally in the career management area for over 25 years and my work is published around the globe. In this time, I have reviewed many resumes and cover letters, both for my review and for inclusion in my best selling resume and letter books. Maria Hebda and I are professional colleagues and I have included some of her resume and letter writing work in these books. Why? She has a knack for creating clear, concise and convincing word packages; she's a great ally in a job hunt.”
Martin Yate, Best Selling Author - Resumes that Knock 'em Dead and Cover Letters that Knock 'em Dead
“You can get free reviews almost anywhere on the Internet, the value added is that the writers who do the reviews for our members are those who have "vetted" and who we know work to the highest ethical and professional work standards. At ExecuNet, we were fortunate enough to be able to work with Maria as part of our resume review team for more than nine years which in this day and age of shorter and shorter business relationships all by itself says something about her professionalism. It isn’t just that she is an excellent and accomplished resume writer; that goes without saying. The standard of performance that she sets for herself in what she does consistently translates to satisfied clients.”
David Opton, Founder & CEO - ExecuNet
"There are thousands of resume writers in the US, but there are only a very few with the quality of writing skills that Maria Hebda consistently displays. Every time I write a resume or cover letter book that includes contributions from other writers, I anxiously await for Maria's contributions, knowing that they will be some of the best that I will receive. Her grasp of language is extraordinary and her ability to translate an individual's career history into a powerful marketing document are exceptional. She has reached the top of her profession and will be there for years to come."
