A client sent me this note:

Hi Clay,

Just wanted to send you a little “thank you”.  It has taken 6 months,
but I just accepted a new position.  I wanted to share with you that I
received a lot of positive feedback regarding my resume.  Many
commented that when we met in person that my resume matched my
personality and really accurately portrayed who I am and what I am
about.

This new position, I am making 20% more, better benefits, more
vacation, casual work environment and best of all summer hours!

****************************************************************

This note made me feel good, but it’s always nice to hear good things about your work.  It’s also great that my client has found a job with better pay, benefits, and vacation.  But we can’t ignore the hard facts.  It took this client 6 months to find a good job.  A winning job search requires patience and perseverance.  My client stuck it out and won the prize.  Be strong and keep the faith.
