If you've been in the workforce for a while, in your middle-age and are co soldering a career change, go for it!

But talk to Lino first. A lot has changed in applying for a job in the last decade or two and Lino can help you prepare and navigate today's job market challenges through cleaning up your resume , getting to know you and your goals and helping prepare for interviews. Lino will stick with you for months if needed and help you every step of the way.

Thank-you Lino for helping me realize my dream of a mid-life career change and landing a great position at a wonderful company!

Lino is an excellent career consultant and recruiter. | Jan, 2022

I had reached out to Lino from a post he made on linked in. Almost immediately Link responded in a very supportive and reassuring way to help in my job search.

After reviewing my resume and numerous discussions Lino hammered out a direction for a career path that I had never really considered. We cleaned up my resume and cover letters. Lino then guided me through properly setting up job alerts through various sites. He then offered to review all alerts that came in to see what was appropriate and what was not.

In the end I was called for a position that I applied to before and Lino prepped a few dry run interviews, salary discussions and I landed the job. Our next step is to apply internally to positions better suited to my skill set. Lino helped me get in the door.

Strongly recommend contacting Lino if you are looking for work or a career change.

Thank you Sir.

Miles

Thank you Sir. | Nov, 2021

As soon as I had my resume written by Lino I was pretty aggressive with applying for various positions and networking with the person the role would report into.

I'm very excited as I signed an offer for a dream job two weeks ago.

I had two other positions in the sports industry offered to me and I also had an opportunity offered to be an Account Executive with a book publisher.

Thank you for your help with my resume as it certainly paid off and I'm thrilled to begin this new chapter.

Dear Ian,

"In this day and age of LinkedIn and internet recruiting, it is extremely easy for a recruiter to hide behind his or her computer and simply take an ivory tower approach to the hiring process.

I have utilized Ian in a recent job search for a managerial position. During the whole process Ian demonstrated himself to be the consummate professional. He kept his word on the communication word and followed up frequently.

I will definitely utilize Summit Solutions going for in a role that will require recruiting as he epitomizes the Summit Solutions approach to client service."
