Really Cool Stuff That People Are Saying:

  • I rarely, if ever recommend someone to my colleagues. Please consider this the highest recommendation I could give.

    — Joel Ward, President & CEO, Red Deer College

  • Thank you for writing the “Hired” book. I went from applying to 125 positions with my outdated very long CV with limited response, to reading your book, following your advice & writing a new “zippy” one. I am happy to report within 1 (one) day of sending out my “zippy” CV, I had immediate call backs and secured interviews with 5 companies. I prepared by doing the research & using your questions, which had interviewers laughing and crafting great answers. I was quickly moved to the next stages with CEO’s. I have an offer in hand to start next week. I am thrilled to have landed my “Zippy Gig”. I truly credit this to you and your book! I absolutely enjoyed the humour as it made this process fun!! Thank you again!

    — Jae Cripps

  • As our guest speaker, you received an average rating of OUTSTANDING —which is incredible! “Sheila -I was just reviewing the survey responses from this morning’s event and was about to write you to say congratulations, and thank you! On behalf of the entire WXN team, thank you so much for your dedication and commitment this morning.

    — Kera Hunt  Coordinator, Content & Communications  WXN – Women’s Executive Network

  • Just wanted to send a quick thank you note. I attended your session this past year at Cannexus 17 conference in Ottawa. Bought the book and drank the Kool-Aid. Destroyed my old resume, built anew following your guidelines. Applied and got an interview. Prepped per your outlines (8 out of the questions were almost verbatim). Got the Zippy Gig!! Thank you so much.

    — Aaron Hiske, Former Curriculum Consultant New Superintendent of Education SECPSD #209, Weyburn Saskatchewan

  • Sheila’s book Hired is the best real world, proven effective, list of strategies for getting hired I’ve seen yet! She cuts through the academia of getting a job and focuses on the practical steps and secrets that most people never learn. I think this book should be a graduation gift to every student leaving post secondary schooling. Our clients are business owners and I think it’s critical they read it too; so they also know what to be looking for in hiring their ideal team members.

  • I found your presentation to be informative and witty – loved it! Thank you so very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to speak to the Airdrie Chamber of Commerce members today at lunch. The feedback has been phenomenal, and I personally found your presentation to be informative and witty – loved it!

    — Marie Lauer, Events Coordinator - Airdrie Chamber of Commerce

  • I wanted to reach out to say “Thank You” for last night's presentation as well as acknowledge your polish as a presenter. You are very articulate and concise, and you present your ideas easily and effortlessly. I have sat through many presentations in my day and I can honestly say that 60 minutes flew right by!
