FLUSHING, NY -- A little creativity can give the much needed punch to any resume. Endorsements are one such strategy. Ever noticed how advertisers use celebrity endorsers to make a stronger pitch? Job seekers have the same option when it comes to resumes. Using testimonials from employers, clients, vendors, professors, peers, team members, etc. can add more credibility to any resume. Having a well-networked endorser on your side is certainly an added bonus.

Potential resources for testimonials could include appreciation letters, reference letters, e-mails, performance reports, thank you notes, client reports, and even verbal comments. If existing material does not help, don't hesitate to seek feedback on your work. The key is to find remarks that clearly spell the potential benefits you offer to the employer.

In case of a sales representative, for example, the following comment could be useful: "John can sell ice to Eskimos. He has generated some of the biggest leads in our sales pipeline." - Dave Smith, District Sales Manager
