“You hit it out of the park last night Jay! Fabulous talk last night at the PMI Dinner. The crowd was on the edge of their seats and no one left early. I am sure you are the best speaker they have had in a VERY long time. Thanks for your words of wisdom.”

“As someone who’s heard and seen motivational speakers and career specialists for more than 30 years, Jay is one of the few who has made it to the top of the mountain. What sets Jay apart is that he hasn’t quit. He keeps on climbing. I’m pleased to have the opportunity to recommend Jay for virtually every type of career or motivational-oriented public speaking or training situation. If I was looking for career guidance, Jay would certainly be high on my list of people to trust with my future.”

“Over a decade ago, I participated in one of the finest and most innovative training sessions of my career. Through this training, I obtained my certification as a C.E.I.P. (Certified Employment Interview Professional). The program was facilitated by Jay Block. As a facilitator, he is a role model without peer. Jay can captivate and engage an audience whether it’s in person or during a webinar. As an innovator in the career industry, I consider him to be a worthy successor to the legendary Richard Bolles. Jay is a visionary with an intuitive ability to identify and articulate “outside the box” solutions and strategies for securing employment. Since obtaining my C.E.I.P., I have participated in his other webinars and read his books. Jay’s latest offering, 101 Best Ways to Land a Job in Troubled Times, belongs on the self of every career professional. In addition to stellar strategies, he’s infused this publication with a solid motivational component that energizes the reader to realize success. Jay empowers career professionals to enjoy the greatest reward of our vocation – helping people put their lives back in order.”

“So many great things have been said about Jay! I would like to add the words that I feel describe him: charismatic, edge-of-your-seat compelling, interpersonally intense and highly relationship-sensitive, inspired and inspiring, deeply committed to the growth of people and their careers, ahead-of-his-time (Jay presented a resume layout that showcased personal brands before the term was even coined), constantly innovating, exceptionally caring about the person he is speaking with. Wish I saw more of you Jay! ”

“Jay Block was the first real superstar in the career services industry, and those of us who followed owe him for his leadership, expertise, inspiration, motivation, and willingness to share. Perhaps his greatest attribute is that while he was leading the field, he never stopped learning or breaking new ground despite many personal and professional challenges. Those of us who know him best admire how he continually raises the bar. Superstars make everyone else better, and Jay has done that for an entire industry.”

“I think extremely highly of Jay Block and therefore it gives me great pleasure to write a letter of recommendation on his behalf. I’ve known Jay for about five years. I first met him at our Professional Placement Network (PPN) Holiday Success Seminar in December of 2005, where he shared with us his philosophy on resume development, interviewing, and job search techniques. Jay has written twelve books, several of them on the best sellers list, on resumes, key words, interview questions, and his latest work on 101 Best Ways to Land a Job in Troubled Times. His works and teachings have been an inspiration and guide to me, and the clients I work with. As a career/job coach, I am constantly working to find more effective approaches to assist my clients with their resumes, interviews, and job searches. And during those challenging times I turn to Jay’s publications for ideas on handling those situations. He has also graciously made himself available to me whenever I needed guidance and assistance when working with my most challenging clients. Jay has been a major weapon in my arsenal of tools for assisting my clients in career transition. Jay is a creative and original thinker. He has native intelligence, great curiosity about people and ideas, and plenty of common sense that he has applied to solving many challenges with professionals in career transition. In addition, his attentive listening, enthusiasm, excellent powers of observation, great sense of humor, and an ability to communicate and suggest change in effective but non-threatening ways has helped him form strong relationships with clients, peers, and members of our PPN team. Jay Block is a wonderful mentor and friend and I am extremely happy to give him a wholehearted and enthusiastic recommendation.”
