"Last year I had the very good fortune to hire Browning Associates to assist me with an executive level job search. Their services and counsel were first rate. Browning tailored a very specific strategy for me in terms of location, industry, compensation, level of experience, and very importantly longer-term career goals and potential. They guided me through execution, helping me identify, research and contact potential employers. They prepared me for how to make and maintain networks, how to followup, how to interview and how to negotiation, plus personal branding of my resume and employer outreach. I received my first offer of employment within 4 months from a cold start, and a company that Browning helped me target continued to pursue me and subsequently hired me about 8 months later with meaningful salary and responsibility upside. What I appreciate the most of working with Browning's is John Seraichyk's servant leadership approach with his clients. The focus on their client is why Browning Associates is the best at what they do, very professional, always responsive and proactive. If I ever need executive level career advice and support Browning is definitely where I would go and the only Executive Search Consultant I would recommend. Now, I enjoy networking and helping out Browning's new clients where I can." Thanks John and team,

I just wanted to let you know I secured the position with ABC Companies… My official start date is 10/3. It amounts to a $300 k+ package in the first year and then we’ll re-negotiate for the following year based on performance, etc. I believe the number $300k+ came up in one of our prayers together…. Thank you for your help and your services, it most definitely made a difference in positioning me for this opportunity. All the best to you and your family,
Matthew Riello
I am excited to join their team and the opportunities ahead. I will close with the most heartfelt “ thank you” to each of you, and the entire organization for your assistance and support these past 6 months. Your guidance and encouragement during this period of transition was invaluable.”

d me prepare for the interview that ultimately got me the job! 3 months later, I’m having a great time in my new role and really grateful to Browning for their role in helping me get here.”

me and gave me the tools I needed to find the right position in the field I wanted for the compensation I deserved. They are experts in their field who keep the promises they make.”
Mark Centracchio
“Accepted the position at Hologic!!! They started at $3XXK but are going to come in at $XXXK.+ This level has the same 
bonus potential that I’m getting today. They will be coming in with a lot of stock… In addition, they are throwing in a $35,000 signing bonus. I’m really extremely pleased with the package… Thanks so much for all your help and pleased to be a referral for Browning Associates!!!”

I’m just dropping you a note to say “hi” and to let 
you know that I continue to provide a lot of personal recommendations over the phone to your prospective clients. I’m happy to do it. I consider it all part of “paying it forward,” the virtues of which you helped make very clear.

“Monte Pratt ACCEPTED THE OFFER. Carl Smith Pipeline in Nashville. $3xxK+ plus bonus of revenue which would be 
$xxxK this year, vehicle for personal and private use, 100% paid benefits, 401K, short term living costs, relo package. His current salary is $4XXK plus stock bonus. Huge bump! Start date 1/5.”
Monte Pratt
“I did extensive research before hiring Browning Associates (BA) to assist with my extensive executive job search, to 
include going to RI and meeting everyone there in person. This was my second use of a professional search team, so I knew exactly what I needed – focused support, extensive research, access to a deep executive network and weekly action planning. I got all of this and more. BA expands your job search sales/marketing team from a single novice (you) to a group of professionals that do this for a living. I recommend BA to everyone I know seeking six-figure jobs, even if they think they are good at networking already. You get out what you put in with Browning…the more you work hard at your own job search and networking, the more valuable Browning Associates’ guidance and advice is to your success … and your next salary!”
Jeffrey McChesney
“Hi Team,
I was offered a position and accepted at $2XX. What they budgeted for the position was pretty much what the CFO was making prior!!! official employment starts Aug 1 Thanks for all your help!”

“
My experience was extremely positive. The firm has an extensive referral network, from which I was able to garner short-term leads/opportunities that led to a great career move. More importantly, the associates at Browning are professional and knowledgeable, and they facilitated managing the entire career search experience… from determining the next portion of my career path, introducing executive referrals, managing outreach (including cover letter and resume setup, as well as social media optimization), firm research for those companies I contemplated for my next role, and even in negotiation of compensation plans. I highly recommend Browning Associates, as the Return On Investment is well worth it“
Ed Robinson
Thanks Brother! The prayers, your faith, your work, your perspective and encouragement all mean so much to me. I can’t thank you enough!

since they came up from $2XX to $2XX+. The top amount was $XXX, but since I have no experience in Health Care, I was very pleased. (A Career Change!) My start date is Feb 2
. Thanks,”

After six months of "close, but no offers" on a number of positions, I hired Browning and Associates (http://executivejobsearch.net) to assist me in my job search. It was very worthwhile and I had two offers within 90 days of working with them. It wasn't inexpensive, but I think I saved money in the long run by getting hired much quicker than without them. They are top notch folks to work with, and I feel like I got my money's worth. I would suggest you take a look at their website, and see if it is something you would be interested in taking advantage of. If so, let me know, and I will be happy to make a personal introduction for you.
Thank you so much and appreciate you and your team's crucial support in achieving this goal! I appreciate your continued assistance and will be sure to keep in touch. I would be delighted to be part of your Browning network as well as leave positive feed back. What would be the best way to leave the feedback? Thank you again for everything and this experience has been amazing! All my Best, Jason Taylor
Thanks John for the congratulatory email. Your team has been exceptional during the whole process. Melanie is God sent and I am glad I had the opportunity to meet and work with her. She not only kept me on my critical path, but was motivational and very inspirational for achieving this critical milestone. I will take time to write a testimonial and fill out any critiques as required. Furthermore, I finally understand the power of networking and will take time to improve my new skill set. Once at Amazon, I will reach out for a resume update. Lastly, I am available to network with current and future clients. Warmest regards,
Melanie (and your team) were really instrumental … I owe her (you all) eternal gratitude! God Bless you all,
Hello John, I just wanted to let you know that I secured that job with XXX Companies and my official start date is 10/3. It amounts to a $X00,000.00 package in the first year and then we'll re-negotiate for the following year based on performance, etc. I believe the number $300k+ came up in one of our prayers together.... Thank you for your help and your services, it most definitely made a difference in positioning me for this opportunity. All the best to you and your family.
Hello John, great to hear from you. My new position is going very well thank you!!! Happy 2015!! Say hi to your team for me. Take care,
"The Browning Associates Team; particularly Melissa was extremely helpful in advising and leading my search for executive level employment. Their networking and rebranding strategies assisting me landing a global leadership role above my required compensation requirements. I highly recommend Browning Associates, as the returns far surpass the investment."
I recently have been appointed the President of Empire Education Corporation! Empire Education Corporation owns Mildred Elley College which serves approximately 2,000 students with campuses in Manhattan (NY), Albany (NY) and Pittsfield (MA). My responsibilities as President at Empire Education Corporation include assisting the Chair of the Board of Directors with the academic, administrative and financial operations of the college. In addition, I will be raising capital and enhancing shareholder value. And, I will continue to provide high quality education to students. Looking forward to staying in contact.
"I was just sending an email to one of the folks your team referred to me and realized I’ve now been at TVW more than a year — fastest year of my life! And that, of course, reminded me just how helpful you and the Browning system were as I was going through the search process. Truly, I know if I’d tried to do this on my own I would have ended up at the same job, different company, and in five years I would have been burned out again. Instead, I’m excited to go into work every day and every day we’re doing fun and innovative things, building a very strong organization, and having a profound impact on government transparency and citizen engagement. I’m exactly where I should be — thanks to you, and the entire Browning team, for being a part of helping me get here." Trust you are doing well, please give everyone my warm regard
Hi Team, I was offered a position and accepted at $2XX. What they budgeted for the position was pretty much what the CFO was making prior!!! official employment starts Aug 1 Thanks for all your help!
Monte Pratt ACCEPTED THE OFFER. Carl Smith Pipeline in Nashville. $3xxK+ plus bonus of revenue which would be $xxxK this year, vehicle for personal and private use, 100% paid benefits, 401K, short term living costs, relo package. His current salary is $4XXK plus stock bonus. Huge bump! Start date 1/5. He's heading to his house in Florida for a couple of weeks. He offered to look at John Don's resume for his current and new companies. I'm not sure John would want to move but it's nice on Monte to offer help. Thanks,

I engaged Browning Associates from November 2012 - March 2013, and my experience was extremely positive. The firm has an extensive referral network, from which I was able to garner short-term leads/opportunities that led to a great career move. More importantly, the associates at Browning are professional and knowledgeable, and they facilitated managing the entire career search experience... from determining the next portion of my career path, introducing executive referrals, managing outreach (including cover letter and resume setup, as well as social media optimization), firm research for those companies I contemplated for my next role, and even in negotiation of compensation plans.

Michael Babines reached out to the first 20 contacts and already has an offer! He's meeting with the company next week. If they can work things out, it will be fantastic for him! Thanks,
I just want to take this opportunity to express my thanks for the assistance you gave me in my search... Your program gave me the tools and the direction I needed to get my job search on track. With your help I was able to land a job in my field, with one of Fortune’s 100 fastest growing companies, in less than two months after starting your program. Thanks again for all of your help! Sincerely,
I was offered the job, and I know you mentioned to speak with you first, but I accepted since they came up from $2XX to $2XX+. The top amount was $XXX, but since I have no experience in Health Care, I was very pleased. (A Career Change!) My start date is Feb 2nd. Thanks,

Hello Melanie and John, I have accepted a position at DXP Enterprises (public distribution company) in Houston, Texas working for the Chairman and CEO, running their Industrial and Safety divisions. I am serving on two boards as well and am in conversation for a third. All the best to the Browning team and my appreciation to everyone involved and assisting. Very truly yours,
Hi John, I spoke with Lorraine Buck today. She'll be moving to Sarasota to start her new job in the next couple of weeks. She said she would be happy to be part of our network and would be willing to speak with 3-5 clients a month. She also said that she would talk with clients who didn't understand how the Browning process can work. Melanie
Jerry: I wanted to let you know that the interview went very well this last week. They said that I would be getting an offer of employment from them this week. The tactics that you worked with me on worked so well. I felt like I was very prepared. Thank you for your persistence in working with me and guiding me the way that you did. Leave tonight for another interview. I'll let you know how that one goes too. Paul Accepted a CEO position April 2015 Regards,
Ed Imparato was extended an offer by St. Domxxxxx Home, a non profit providing social services, schools to disadvantaged adults and children. They are in the process of completing background checks and disclosing benefit package. The comp is at $200K for a CFO position which is fairly good for a 1000 employee non profit. While this is substantially less than he was making, Ed feels God is leading him to this organization. He wants to be able to help others. He'll only have to work a 35 to 40 hour work week which will allow time for him to teach and do other volunteer work.
John, I just spoke with Kate Miller.. Her offer from xxxx is $550K and from xxxxx around $500K. She would have a CIO title with xxxx but not with xxxx... In addition, the xxxx position is in California with a much higher cost of living than the xxxxx position in Tennessee. She's probably going to take the xxxx position. She's extremely excited!
Thank you john. This means a lot to me. I am surrendering to God's will and am excited. Your support made this possible. Sincerely,
Hello Melanie & Team, I will start my new position as at XXX XXX Investments on April 29th. I've successfully worked through the questions/concerns I had in my offer letter. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for your wonderful support during the past nine months. I can not express enough thanks for the advice along with your compassionate guidance during some difficult periods of my career search. I will highly recommend your services to anyone that is in transition. Be well, stay in touch,
John, YES. I'm having fun! I now see the way forward for this division and I'm getting the strategy into a board level presentation while also meeting people, putting the new organization together, calling on important customers, purchasing a condo in Hanover NH with all new furnishings and the list goes on... I've always loved juggling many things at once so I'm really pleased. Thanks for asking! Mr. Robert Quinn Just landed a position as a Division President for a Global services company... Bob's task is to bring this fledgling division from incubator to $100 million plus in the next year... The compensation is in excess of $400k ++ He has agreed to be a great reference for Browning Associates!
John, The networking I have done within The Browning Associates Network has lead to a VP position with Amazon over last two months is accelerating my next career opportunities. Expecting an offer for VP of Operations position soon and Amazon is requesting 8th interview for an Amazon Center of Excellence position. Three other offers, not quite in location I am seeking. I am always open to expanding my network and helping others so I have attached my latest resume for you to share as you like. I've already helped someone get a job after just one phone call with him!
I wanted to take the time and say thank you for your help during my job search. The assistance your firm provided was invaluable and your straightforward approach was really appreciated. Looking to change my career was a stressful time, not only for me but my family as well. Having a professional group that provided regular consistent support, a powerful knowledge base and a highly effective human network, made the experience a tremendous success.
Thanks Brother! The prayers, your faith, your work, your perspective and encouragement all mean so much to me. I can't thank you enough! As I've expressed to Melanie, I'm not sure what His plan is here but it's been confirmed through my prayer time, with my prayer partner, sermons I've heard, etc., that this process is important for me, and to be diligent and engaged. So I'm trying, and pushing myself outside my comfort zone. I have come to gain a better understanding of the power behind networking. I've started to build a strong base of contacts (beyond immediate personal & professional colleagues) and am beginning to recognize what can be accomplished if one can become comfortable reaching out, developing rapport and working conversation with other professionals. I don't yet know how this all pans out, a new position, new business for us, new contacts to help our business, something other, not sure? All I know is that it's to further my personal and Godly development and that I need to work at it as diligently as possible until its understood. And, that you & your firm are an instrument within the Body to help me get somewhere / develop. I pray for your patience as I grow through this. I can already begin to see blessing coming from it, and am excited to see the bigger picture unfold. Know that I appreciate you and your team, your faith and approach...and that I can see His blessing on you and what you do. I know you make Him proud!
I was offered a position with a Consumer Products Company this week. I accepted the position of Director of Sales-Eastern Region. It is definitely the hidden job market that a person has to search for. Thanks again, and I look forward to working with you again should the need arise.
I am writing to extend my sincerest thanks to you and those at your firm for making my career transition a success. Your creativity generated paths around obstacles I never imagined could be overcome. I cant say enough of what you have done for me and my family. You have successfully assisted me in doing what I thought was impossible. I am home with my family, doing a job I absolutely love and my compensation is finally commensurate with my capabilities. I can honestly recommend your services to ANY professional considering a job change or career transition.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you very much for assisting me with finding the career position I wanted. You told me that within in a few months I would have the position I hoped for, and you were right. Through working together we were able to target companies that I was interested in. In just over sixty days from when we first met, I accepted a job with Monster.com at a salary greater than I anticipated. If it weren't for your services, I would still be blindly submitting resumes to companies that I really wasn't interested in.
Thanks to you I was able to secure an important position with one of the top woman's hospitals in the country. I also know that my opportunities do not stop here. Thank you again for helping me to be a success.
I want to make sure that you were aware of my appreciation of your continual support throughout the 2 month process, and the many different paths we took to achieve our goal. In the end, I have two viable, The Business Management firm in the private sector and the Corporate Management position in the public sector. Your process provided me with choices, and that was all I needed. I chose to return to the public sector and it has proven to be the correct choice, both for piece of mind and soul. I am doing what I do best; Lead.
Hey guys! Man what a trip. I never thought landing the exact career position I was looking for would be such a difficult process. I really must thank you for being there every step of the way and making my success a reality. Thanks again. I will certainly recommend your firm to others...
It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of gratitude. It has been just six weeks since we started working together and I already have four interviews lined up! It is definitely the unpublished job market that must be sought! Thanks again. I look forward to an ongoing partnership with Browning Associates
Greetings from the Sunshine State! I have accepted a position to head the Comp, Benefits and HRIS functions for WCI Communities in Bonita Springs, Florida. Thank you for all of your assistance during my most recent job search. Although my case certainly was not an easy one, your firm worked diligently to see my search through to success. I would like to thank all of you who have supported my search for Florida Opportunities. I found one that feels like a dream come true. The people here are as warm as the climate.
ell I had an interview with Linscomb and Williams on Friday_It went very well. I met with Dan Linscomb, Harold Williams, Walter Christopherson and Heidi Davis, talk about heavy hitters!!!!! I have a 2nd interview on my birthday to look over their exhibits and I imagine talk specifics. I feel fairly confident and am looking forward to seeing them again. I cannot thank you enough for helping me through this...
With your services help, I was meeting with two or three people a week, making contacts and making excellent progress towards obtaining a new career position; I was also researching companies and making informed intelligent decisions about where to look. I found the right job in just two and a half months. Once again, I would like to thank you for all of your time and effort on my behalf...
Dear John, --- A letter from 1992 I want to thank you for assisting in making my job offer possible. The test was as you described, and your referral to the book “How to Get the Best Jobs in Data Processing” was also helpful. Your working with me to rewrite my resume was a TREMENDOUS asset to me, as my previous resume lacked the kind of focus and emphasis I needed to say: “I have valuable skills and experience and I AM a viable candidate.” Your suggestions to condense and capsulize my resume in some areas and to restructure and highlight it in others made ALL the difference, essential revisions gave a very positive first impression to the Personnel Manager. Your suggestions for interviewing also helped me feel more confident, and our professionalism over the telephone and excellent referral really impressed the company. Again, thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to prove myself in a first-rate company. Most sincerely,
Well I had an interview with Linscomb and Williams on Friday_It went very well. I met with Dan Linscomb, Harold Williams, Walter Christopherson and Heidi Davis, talk about heavy hitters!!!!! I have a 2nd interview on my birthday to look over their exhibits and I imagine talk specifics. I feel fairly confident and am looking forward to seeing them again. I cannot thank you enough for helping me through this...Lets keep our fingers crossed on October 3rd._

Please accept my apologies for not writing sooner. I must truly thank you for your undying support, guidance and knowledge during my search. I have finally landed with a company that I truly believe will be the catalyst for my long-term career success.
I wish to thank you and your outstanding staff for their usual high-standard of service and professionalism. Having dealt with your services in the past, your organization has come through time and again and I look forward to a continued, positive relationship.
Good Morning Team, I am proud to inform you that I have concluded successful negotiations with Staffing Services, Inc. (SSI ), a 20-year old New Jersey based organization. I will be joining this company as Vice-President, and will be headed back east Monday for a full week of orientation and meetings. This privately held company is not a stranger to me. It’s a family owned organization, with deep roots in the staffing industry for over 50 years. Despite having only east coast offices today, they do service North America, and have clients and contractors throughout. I will be responsible for establishing a west coast operation and for business “ west “ of the Mississippi….. I am excited to join their team and the opportunities ahead. I will close with the most heartfelt “ thank you” to each of you, and the entire organization for your assistance and support these past 6 months. Your guidance and encouragement during this period of transition was invaluable. I trust we will continue to remain in contact, and I will keep you appraised of my progress over time. As we discussed, I also look forward to supporting your efforts in the future and enhancing “ our network” .
After being downsized from my position spanning more than fifteen years, I found myself in a very difficult situation. I hired your services because I wanted to make a career change and didn't know where to begin. The work that your staff provided was priceless. Thank you! I would highly recommend your services to anyone looking to change careers or find new employment...
I wish to thank you and your outstanding staff for their usual high-standard of service and professionalism. Having dealt with your services in the past, your organization has come through time and again and I look forward to a continued, positive relationship.
Dear Mr. Santamaria, Thank you for your assistance in helping me obtain a position with Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation. It was exactly the position I was looking for and know that your services were invaluable to me in this achievement. Your aid in improving my interviewing techniques were essential in helping me land the position in that they provided me with the skills I needed to make the interview work for me rather than against me. I also appreciate your assistance in all the other areas of my career transition. I am extremely happy with the position that I received and am very grateful for your assistance. I wish you continued success in your career and future endeavors. Sincerely,
Mission Accomplished! I was offered and have accepted a position with Allied Business Documents. We're still processing the paper work, but Im tentatively set to begin after Labor Day. Thank you for all your help these past months. Successfully making a career shift brings a great feeling of accomplishment. This process isn't an easy one, but it sure pays to be persistent.
John Seraichyk and Diversified Personnel Consultant's services were nothing short of superb. Not only did we work together to identify my career goals, but you assisted me in seeking out the right companies. Additionally, your coaching for the three job interviews you helped me land, was extremely helpful. Thanks to your assistance, I have received two job offers. As of today, I have accepted a position at one of those companies. Because of your outstanding work, I would gladly be a reference for any potential clients who may be considering your services. Therefore, you have my permission to release my phone number to them. Sincerely yours, Joseph Leander
It has been just seven weeks since we began working together and I have had a number of interviews and job prospect inquiries with respect to my career search. Yesterday I accepted a position with a company which I feel will enable me to further advance my career goals.
Had a great experience with Browning Associates! As an established professional, I had a good resume, but it wasn't great. Browning helped me identify the things I really wanted to focus on in my next job, created a resume focused on those areas, and then taught me the networking tools to get that resume in front of all the right people. The weekly coaching I received kept me on track and, before I knew it, my dream job was right in front of me. I applied, and then the waiting began. My coach at Browning kept me focused on the job and really wanted and provided some great tips that helped me prepare for the interview that ultimately got me the job! Three months later, I'm having a great time in my new role and really grateful to Browning for their role in helping me get here.
I want to thank you for your tremendous help with my career search. Your methods, access to the extensive databases and expert assistance resulted in me accepting a position with the first company I interviewed with!
I have worked closely with Browning Associates as a client seeking career counseling and someone who is now a part of their ever-growing network. Never have I felt so genuinely cared for and attended to by a company, as their approach to connecting both personally and spiritually is truly unique, direct and sincere. The stress of changing careers and the uncertainty of pursuing something new requires a special kind of attention that must go far beyond networking strategies and job leads. At Browning, I've found, and continue to find, that they offer a sense of community and a level of concern that breeds a rare kind of trust - a trust and dependability that allows one to let go in areas in life that they need to stop trying to control, and an encouragement to grow in places they've failed to see - a kind of trust and caring that is largely absent in the corporate world today. My continually beneficial and pleasurable interactions with Browning leads me to recommend them often and I really can't say enough great things about this business and the team they've assembled.
Dear John, John, think about it: YOU DID THE IMPOSSIBLE; you got me back into the professional work force, as an ENGINEERING EXECUTIVE, when I was RETIRED FOR 2 YEARS and 9 Months (and I was 56 years old at the time of Re-entering the work force)! Or, as my wife says, closer to THREE YEARS! IT IS AN UNBELIEVABLE, but WONDERFUL STORY! But the BEST PART of the story is IT ONLY TOOK 60 DAYS, from when we first started sending out Branding Letters, to when the General Manager (here at Amphenol Alden Products Company) made me an OFFER, that I could not refuse! My raises and reviews have been STELLAR here, and I absolutely LOVE working here (it is 2 years and 1 month as of today)! I tell your referrals this story, and they tell me that they are going to RUN TO BROWNING RIGHT NOW! I also tell them the story of how I cheated ,with old fashioned Resume’s sent to companies that were advertising needs for my field of expertise, BUT DID NOT GET ONE SINGLE NIBBLE (which is exactly what you told me would happen)! JOHN, you know and I know, that ONLY THE BROWNING METHODOLOGY could have worked for me! That is why I am a HAPPY COWBOY! Doing what I LOVE, and working from 7AM till the late evening hours! JOHN, SEND ME MORE REFERRALS, and they will be breaking your door down to sign up with you! Talk to you later, I am ready to start my first of FIVE meetings today! Mike Yashin
Prior to engaging Browning Associates, our client had been searching for nearly 2 years with no results. Just 4 months in to our engagement, here’s what he has now! See below from his senior consultant.... I spoke with Adrian this morning. He has an offer from a PE company. Salary and bonus should be $450-$650. He is also going to get equity which should be $3 to $5 Million in 3-5 years. He's assuming he will earn a percentage of equity each year. He was also told by a recruiter that he is the candidate of choice for a position with the bldg. product distribution company. He would be located in Hawaii. He turned down a CEO position in Charleston. They came back and asked him what it would take to bring him on board! Three offers-Nice position to be in. Melanie ________
I have used Browning three times in the last 17 years and they have delivered every time! They guided me and gave me the tools I needed to find the right position in the field I wanted for the compensation I deserved. They are experts in their field who keep the promises they make.m
Hi John, Just wanted to let you know that I am planning to accept an offer with an advertising agency as their head of New Business and M&A. We have verbally agreed to terms and I am starting on Wednesday. I have another offer coming from another company, too. But as soon as I have the paperwork I'm going to cancel my next meeting with them because I know that offer will be about half of what the first offer is. So the search went very well and I'm very excited to start next week. Thanks so much for your help and service! The process works.
Dear Team, Just wanted to give you a quick update at the end of week 2 of my new job with TXX -- life is grand!! I'm doing exactly the things I wanted to be doing and have even discovered a new love for the technology of broadcasting. Things are going quite well, we have some challenges, we are facing them head on, and already seeing early results. I know this is still the honeymoon period, but things are truly going well and even though I am gainfully (and happily) employed, I find myself still adhering to much of the advice you shared with me over the last several months. Not only did you assist my job search, I gained new life skills from our conversations -- thanks for that! Trust you are well,
I Spoke with Bill this week. Although he landed pereviously..All the work we did resulted in a bigger and better offer that he could not refuse...Man we all worked very hard on this campaign! But as always, you reap what you sow...Bill accepted an offer from a San Francisco based company at double his present base salary, more upside and everything else under the sun! He is working from home and travels the East Coast.. "Thanks John to you and team. I am pleased to tell others of my successes with Browning and to help existing clients with referrals and notifications of opportunities in my new company!"
"I’m writing to thank you once again for your invaluable assistance in locating me a new position in my area of expertise. I recently accepted an offer at a Fortune 100 company located about 30 minutes from my home. Do you realize this is now the third time since 1992 that you’ve assisted me in finding a challenging, high salary position in my field? I am totally convinced that your encouragement, insight, techniques, and principles were instrumental in landing me the position. In this particular situation my success was based on combining several of your fundamental concepts. Our relationship has spawned through two decades now and I consider us not business associates but good friends. Again, thank you for all your support."
John, I have been able to take what you were able to teach me and create the opportunity of a lifetime. Yesterday I was promoted to Vice President of Mortgage Originations.... It is a local bank with a great story and unlimited growth potential. The job provides me with unlimited earning potential, multi state opportunities, the ability to grown and fix current sales forces and teams. The overall long term view may even include a national sales force opportunity. With this being said as I remain loyal to you and would like to pay my success forward. I am now the sole decision for any sales related hires. If I can be an asset to you please do not hesitate to use me as a resource. Make it a great day!!!
"I really appreciate all of the work you have done for me, and can’t thank you enough for what this new beginning means to me. To be honest with you, I was becoming extremely embittered with job hunting. I have been looking for over a year with absolutely no success. In less than three months, I landed with an excellent company. Thank you for being straight and partnering with me throughout the entire search campaign. I truly admire your work ethics and values. I am glad o see there are still honest hard working people left in this world."
"John Seraichyk, CEO Browning Associates is a true professional who brings extreme value to his clients. His passion and drive for success is unmatched within the industry. Anyone that is considering using John's firm should consider themselves lucky to be chosen.”
“I have enjoyed working with Browning Associates. They have a process that works! They are with you every step of the way. Browning Assocites will really get your phone ringing. I would recommend John Seraichyk and his entire team to any executive making a career change. They truly know what you need.”
"It has been just seven weeks since we began working together and I have had a number of interviews and job prospect inquiries with respect to my career search. Yesterday I accepted a position with a company which I feel will enable me to further advance my career goals."
"Mission Accomplished! I was offered and have accepted a position with Allied Business Documents. Were still processing the paper work, but Im tentatively set to begin after Labor Day. Thank you for all your help these past months. Successfully making a career shift brings a great feeling of accomplishment. This process isnt an easy one, but it sure pays to be persistent."
"After being downsized from my position spanning more than fifteen years, I found myself in a very difficult situation. I hired your services because I wanted to make a career change and didnt know where to begin. The work that your staff provided was priceless. Thank you! I would highly recommend your services to anyone looking to change careers or find new employment."
5/21/2015 I did extensive research before hiring Browning Associates (BA) to assist with my extensive executive job search, to include going to RI and meeting everyone there in person. This was my second use of a professional search team, so I knew exactly what I needed - focused support, extensive research, access to a deep executive network and weekly action planning. I got all of this and more. BA expands your job search sales/marketing team from a single novice (you) to a group of professionals that do this for a living. I recommend BA to everyone I know seeking six-figure jobs, even if they think they are good at networking already. You get out what you put in with Browning...the more you work hard at your own job search and networking, the more valuable Browning Associates' guidance and advice is to your success ... and your next salary!
John, When I first heard about Browning Associates, I must admit that I was a bit skeptical regarding results. I decided to call and find out about Browning’s business model. It was during that first conversation with one of your team members when I learned that your model – methodology has been designed to succeed. Now I am a true believer and will recommend Browning Associates to anyone who is looking for an executive position in the 6 figures. You never put it in writing but certainly I am one of your clients that serve as evidence that your model works in 60 days. From the day we decided to join our efforts to the date I received two different offers was very close to 60 days. I am glad I had the opportunity to work with you and your team to find my new position. I am writing you to thank you for your invaluable assistance; you and your team are true professionals
"I want to thank you for your tremendous help with my employment search. Your search tactics, and access to an extensive network resulted in me accepting a position with the first company I interviewed with! Thanks again for all your help! Thank you very much again and hope to talk to you soon."
"Greetings from the Sunshine State! I have accepted a position to head the Comp, Benefits and HRIS functions for WCI Communities in Bonita Springs, Florida. Thank you for all of your assistance during my most recent job search. Although my case certainly was not an easy one, your firm worked diligently to see my search through to success. I would like to thank all of you who have supported my search for Florida Opportunities. I found one that feels like a dream come true. The people here are as warm as the climate."
"With your services help, I was meeting with two or three people a week, making contacts and making excellent progress towards obtaining a new career position. I was also researching companies and making informed intelligent decisions about where to look. I found the right job in just two and a half months. Once again, I would like to thank you for all of your time and effort on my behalf."
My Precious Brother John, I wanted to say thank you for all of your prayers and thoughtfulness, encouraging words, spurring me on doing life, I didn't want another busy day to go by without telling you how thankful a good God put us together. Somehow I know our paths have crossed and have been eternally bonded, Keep the good fight, I am doing life with all my might with Jesus, and you had a part, please share with the rest of the team God is so good, at doing what he does, Its a great STORY. 100000000, Words of Thanks

Hi Team, I am loving the new job and area!!! It has been a great adventure so far. My house in Tucson sold in 2 weeks and I have been busy with the moving plans. I'm also happy to report that my husband has been a huge help. I Can't wait to tell you more about this when we can reschedule. I hope you had a wonderful holiday and sorry about the Colts loss to the Patriots. I think of you often and grateful for all the support you gave me!!! All the best,
Hi Team, Accepted the position at Hologic!!! They started at $3XXK but are going to come in at $XXXK.+ This level has the same bonus potential that I'm getting today. They will be coming in with a lot of stock... In addition, they are throwing in a $35,000 signing bonus. I'm really extremely pleased with the package... Thanks so much for all your help and pleased to be a referral for Browning Associates!!! Thanks,
Dear Mr. Seraichyk: I want to thank you very much for all of the help that you gave me during my job search. After having been turned down six times from Fleet Bank I have just accepted a position in the Corporate Trust Department. I had been searching for a job for over a year on my own and after only three months of working with Jerry and yourself I am ready to begin my career. I greatly appreciate all that you have done for me. Feel free to use my name as a reference for any future clients you may have. Sincerely,
Hi John, How are you? Hope all is well. My current full-time job is just great! I'm just dropping you a note to say "hi" and to let you know that I continue to provide a lot of personal recommendations over the phone to your prospective clients. I'm happy to do it. I consider it all part of "paying it forward," the virtues of which you helped make very clear. Have a great day, amigo. In the meantime, if you're curious, check out my web site. As you know, I'm managing director of Investing Daily: http://www.investingdaily.com
Dear John: I just wanted to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for all your help in my career search. Your advice and encouragement provided me with the support I needed in facing a tough job market. By using your methods to make contacts, I was able to gain confidence in dealing with the people in my field. Your interview training helped me to be prepared and assertive in my meetings with company representatives. Your guidance in these areas helped me to achieve my goal of securing an engineering position with a local company. As a ____ with Toray Plastics America, I have a position with a strong company which offers an excellent starting salary and benefits. Again I thank you for all your efforts on my behalf. I wish you further success, and I will be sure to keep in touch with you in the future. Sincerely,
Last year I had the very good fortune to hire Browning Associates to assist me with an executive level job search. Their services and counsel were first rate. Browning tailored a very specific strategy for me in terms of location, industry, compensation, level of experience, and very importantly longer-term career goals and potential. They guided me through execution, helping me identify, research and contact potential employers. They prepared me for how to make and maintain networks, how to followup, how to interview and how to negotiation, plus personal branding of my resume and employer outreach. I received my first offer of employment within 4 months from a cold start, and a company that Browning helped me target continued to pursue me and subsequently hired me about 8 months later with meaningful salary and responsibility upside. What I appreciate the most of working with Browning's is John Seraichyk's servant leadership approach with his clients. The focus on their client is why Browning Associates is the best at what they do, very professional, always responsive and proactive. If I ever need executive level career advice and support Browning is definitely where I would go and the only Executive Search Consultant I would recommend. Now, I enjoy networking and helping out Browning's new clients where I can. Thanks John and team.
Hello Team, I did accept an offer. The final tally is total salary/compensation will be $XXX with an extra week of vacation this year and 4 weeks of vacation per year starting next year. I will be starting 29 July. Thanks for all the help. For the next 6 to 8 weeks, I’d like to get the move completed and get my head around the job just a bit and then if you are okay with the plan, we can work on some networking and begin laying just a bit of ground work for jobs in the Pacific Northwest in the 3 to 5 year time frame. _____________
Melanie, After a lot of discussions and negotiations, they offered me the CEO position initially but only if I agreed to relocate there. I said no and turned the offer down. Three days later they came back to me and agreed that it wasn't necessary for me to move there and offered the arrangement on a commuting basis. Thanks for your continuing support,
Hi Melanie, Wanted to confirm that I have accepted the offer that was presented to me in Houston and am in the process of readying our PA home for sale and the relocatin exercises. Thank you for all of your help, advice and guidance over the past several weeks. I learned a lot and the Browning process was the primary reason I landed this opportunity and was confident enough to negoatiate once we agreed the role. Once again, my sincere thanks to you and the team,
Hi Melanie and Jerry & Team, I just wanted you to know that I have accepted the offer from Sxxxx Dxxxx in Charleston, SC to become their Senior VP Sales and Marketing and President/CEO of SXXX Sales Inc (US sales subsidiary). They met my salary and bonus requirements, provided a sizable sign on bonus and will allow me to work from home for the next year and a half until I take over as the President/CEO of SXXXX DXXXX Carbon. They provided a very strong relocation package and their benefits are the best I have ever seen. I just want to thank you for all your support. I know this great opportunity would not have been landed without your help and guidance. Melanie, I would like to have a call with you to wrap up our discussions and so that I can follow up on any next steps I need to take to manage the process. Please let me know when you will be available for a short call. Next week would be better for me if ok with you. Thanks
Hi Team, I am very far down the road with PHH and the opportunity with them. I want to make a "final" counter with them tomorrow, as they're sending me numbers tonight. But I wanted to get your perspective on a couple of items I believe are important so I approach it correctly. That said, I was wondering if you have time first thing tomorrow before I call them back. If so, please let me know what time is best for you. Thanks, Ed Robinson PS Ed accepted his dream job and is one of our biggest advocates!
Dear John: I would like to tell you at this point that I feel that I have made an excellent choice in retaining Browning Associates to help me in my search for a management level position. The professionalism and sincere desire shown thus far by Jack, John and yourself gives one the confidence that he or she will attain their foal and within a reasonable time frame. Knowing that there is a team of effort working on my behalf, doing whatever it takes to get the job done, is comforting indeed. In closing, I would like to make mention again, that I appreciate your sincere efforts and hopes that they will continue in every aspect of the job search. Sincerely,
Hi John Received an offer. I countered which they met. So $30k increase, ownership and a contract ( salary and benefits!) Greatly appreciate everything,
Dear John and Jerry: Thanks again for all of your assistance with my job search. Your help and advise enabled me to obtain a $xxxxxxx a week salary, civil engineering position with the Massachusetts Highway Department. In particular, your career development program provided me with much needed job hunting tools from ways to improve my resume and cover letters to the development of superior interviewing and self marketing skills. Furthermore, I found out about this position by sending out a broadcast letter to one of the engineering managers at the department (a technique I learned from you). I have enjoyed working with you and wish you further success in the future. Sincerely,
John, Thank you for your help in finding me a job. Your job search techniques are unique and highly successful, especially with our economy the way it is today. Any advantages that you can get over any of the other job seekers in the market is helpful, and you have provided me with these skills. These skills will also prove to be advantageous in the future as I will use them not only to find higher quality positions, but in the positions themselves. Once again I thank you and good luck.
Dear John, Blast from the past - Letter from 1992 I had a hard year at GCA in Andover, MA. The company just could not survive their struggle. It was hard to see an optical research and development company go out of business after existing since 1953. The company had been in real trouble since 1988 when the recession started. After accepting the offer, I was informed that the company had not hired any entry level engineers since 1988, when the economy started to show signs of a slump. Though business had not improved when I started to inquire into the company, I was hired only on the fact that the personnel department thought I was an interesting candidate to hire. They told me that they thought my approach was innovative. Based on how I handled inquiring for an entry-level positions, they felt I would contribute an interesting approach to some of the existing problems in the optical research department. I must admit, most of the key points they commented on was based on the advice that I took from you. I can’t thank you enough. I never thought I would be writing a Dear John letter again, but I am looking forward to working with you again. I feel fortunate to have gained experience in optical physics, I am sure we will be successful again. Hopefully next time with a company that will stay in business. Please accept my apology for not contacting you when I got the job. I will be available to meet with you anytime. Thanks. Sincerely,
Hi, Rob! I started my new position on Monday as Director of Business Development at Aerojet Rocketdyne. Thanks for all your help. It has been great to work with your team, and I feel like I got real value out of your process. Below is a note from an acquaintance that I worked with. In an odd twist, I turned down a position under him at Coleman Aerospace 3 years ago. Last Wednesday, Aerojet Rocketdyne purchased Coleman Aerospace from L-3 Corporation, and Mark was let go. I am likely to be considered to replace him as the VP of Business Development. I will keep you posted as to his response. Thanks again!
John: Happy New Years to you all: I wanted to reach and and let you know how excited I am to have found meaningful employment and thank you and everyone at Browning for helping make this happen. From my first calls with Rob through my last call with Melanie every single person has been professional, personable, positive and extremely helpful. There was never any 'sales pitch' it was straight forward and honest about what I needed to do to succeed and it worked! Thank you again for helping get my career back on track. Please include me in the network! With sincere gratitude
Dear John: I would like to thank you ever so much for all of the assistance in getting my career on track. In just three short months, I went from having no clue how to find employment to becoming a confident professional. The position you helped me to attain, at Tucker Anthony in Boston, is providing me with vital experience I will need throughout my entire career. With the job market as competitive as it is in the Boston area, your program is the only one that could have gotten me where I am today. Your methods are amazing and I am living proof that they actually work. If I had realized how simple you make it to find employment, I would have called a lot sooner. Sincerely,
Dear Mr. Seraichyk, --- Blast from the Past letter from 1992 Thank you so much for finding me a job. I really appreciate all of the work you have done for me, and can’t possibly pay you enough to show you how much this job means to me. To be honest with you, I was getting very discouraged with job hunting. I have been looking for about two years with absolutely no success. I thought that with my grades and the way the economy is I was going to have to landscape forever. Then I called you, and in less than three months you landed me an excellent job with an excellent company. Now I can finally relax and do what I went to college for rather than my four other garbage jobs. Plus my career path is now well on its way. Thank you for being straight with e and for keeping me informed regularly of all the work you did for me. I really admire your values and work ethics. I am glad to see that there are still some honest, hard-working people left in the world. John, thank you once again for everything. I really don’t know what I would have done without you. Keep running Barrett Technical Services the way you are and before you know it you will be the president of a huge corporation. You are really doing an excellent job. Good luck in the future, and I hope things work out well for you. Sincerely,
I would just like to thank you all for your help over the past few months. I just accepted a new position that will bring my career to the next level. The process was intense and everything from the tremendous resume and all the coaching paid off! You are an outstanding group of people and I learned a lot. By the time I began the telephone interviews, I was definitely prepared and the intense 9 hour day of face to face interviews was truly a 9 hour back and forth conversation with different people. Of the opportunities I had to choose from, this definitely felt right and I really feel I fit in with the culture of the organization. Thanks again and may God continue to bless you all!
Dear John: I want to thank you and John for providing great service and advice over the past few months. Your career development plan truly does work. In a mere four months I was able to get the position I wanted as an Accountant Coordinator in the advertising industry. My lack of any work experience along with the tremendous competition in the industry made this a tremendous accomplishment. Also, the experience I gained from this job search campaign will help me throughout my career. I have learned how to effectively market myself and target job opportunities. I would recommend your service to anyone and would be happy to help Browning Associates in any way I can. Thank you again for your guidance, your experience, and your patience. Sincerely,
Dear John, I want to thank you, John, for allowing me to think through several options given my diverse background and experience of “Jane-of-all-trades, Master-of-none”. Your patience and expertise in career development has brought me to the hill and increased my awareness. I am now ready to begin to map out the road to reach the summit of the mountain. And yes, I am scared of height, but I think everyone is a little afraid of success. Having reached my short term goal at this time has provided me with much encouragement. Although I took the scenic rural route versus the highway approach, I am very pleased with the final results. As we discussed, I still have much to accomplish prior to firmly establishing a long term goal. However, thanks to you and Browning Associates, a great step has been taken. John, thank you again. I look forward to my continued relationship with you and Browning Associates. Sincerely,
Dear John I apologize for not writing you sooner but with accepting the new position with Chase, leaving Sportworks, the Holidays and moving I truly have not had too many free moments over the past few months to sit down and write you a letter. I first want to thank you for all your help and guidance. I am looking forward to talking with you before I have my six-month review in June. At that time I would also like you to update my resume. Well the new job has been quite a change retail and manufacturing have very little in common. It has taken me a while to adjust and I still am, but for the most part I am doing pretty well. The hours are long; 5:50 a.m. to 5:30-6:00 p.m. but the people are nice, so far so good. I don’t think this is what I want to do for the rest of my life but I am learning and gaining valuable experience, which is why I took the position. Please note my new address and phone number and I look forward to talking with you in the near future. Thanks again. Sincerely,
