working with you has been my good luck charm

“I had a screening interview with HR from [Company] for an in-house position last week, hopefully should hear whether I move on in the process this week. I have an interview tomorrow with a firm…, and my application for a federal position has been ‘referred’ for further review, which means that I’ve gotten past the first barrier for that position as well. Looks like working with you has been my good luck charm.”

“FYI, you may end up getting another client as a result of my asking others to review your draft. One of my former co-workers now with a private firm is wanting to jump start her job search, saying ‘Damn. I think it looks pretty amazing. I have no idea on how to improve it… I may need to engage in some re-branding myself… I would normally hesitate to spend money on it, but now that I see what they can do I am seriously considering it.’”
