Pongo’s interview with Matt O.
What industry do you work in?
Soils and Construction Material Testing.
How long have you worked in this industry?
I have been working in this industry at different levels for nearly 9 years.
What parts of your job search do/did you find most challenging?
The part of the job search that I found challenging was putting together a sharp-looking resume. I found it very difficult to do that on my own. I had great credentials but couldn't seem to display them properly on a resume.
How did you find out about PongoResume.com?
I decided to look online and found pongoresume.com through a search.
How did Pongo specifically help you in your job search?
Pongo Resume helped me put together a very good-looking resume. It was an easy process that produced a very effective resume. Within 20 minutes of sending out resumes I had already received a response. I eventually received about a dozen inquiries and chose one to interview with. The company flew me out to their location to "wine and dine" me for a weekend. The interviewer told me that he receives probably 20 resumes a day and that they don't just fly every candidate out to interview. He said that he loved my resume, that it had caught his attention, and that's why I had been chosen for an interview.
If you looked at similar web sites, what was it about Pongo that made you realize it was the best solution?
The thing I liked about Pongo was that it was simple, inexpensive, easy to use, and very effective.
Are there any tips or advice you'd like to share with users who are just discovering Pongo's tools and resources?
Although the process was simple, you also need to take your time. Make up several drafts and rewrite or reword any part that you think can be improved. After a few attempts, you will have the perfect resume.
