When the right job opened up for me, I looked for the best support person I could find to make sure I would get an interview. Chris was able to help me organize my resume and supported me in producing an infographic that got my foot in the door. Thanks Chris.” – Ian Shoemaker, Head Football Coach, Central Washington University (NCAA D2)
“I reached out to Coach Fore a few years ago for help with my resume. After playing in the NFL for 6 years I had no idea where to begin on a resume. Coach Fore took the time to to help put my resume together, which helped me land an offensive coordinator position in high school. He’s truly professional in the work he does and will take great pride in helping you get a coaching job.” – NFL Veteran and Super Bowl Champion (Steelers) Carey Davis
“I was asked to apply for a job at a high level NCAA program. However, I had not touched my resume in years; I had no need to. When I searched the internet for a professional at coaching resumes, I kept coming back to Chris Fore. I was blown away at the product he produced for me, especially at that price point. I’ve paid 2 and 3 times the amount for my resume to be done in the last 20 years, yet it was never done by someone with an athletic background. This is exactly what proved to be the difference.”- Anonymous Junior College Head Football Coach
“I wanted to thank you for your help in re-engineering my resume. I had never realized until you pointed it out to me how valuable it would be to have an Athletic Director, who has experience reviewing thousands of coaching resumes over years such as yourself, review mine and help me. You know what AD’s are looking for. My resume is much more attractive than I could have ever done by myself.”- Scott Osder, Assistant Baseball Coach, San Francisco State University (NCAA D1)
“Having built and refined my resume over the past 15 years, I was fairly confident that I was putting my best foot forward. After working with Coach Fore, however, I was blown away by how much I was actually leaving OFF my resume! When I became a “free agent” in February, I had multiple interviews and a new job the following month. I’m confident that Coach Fore’s work with my resume helped me stand out from the rest of the pack.” – Brian Sheehan, Recruiting Coordinator/Offensive Line Coach, Hamline University
“Thanks to your advice and help in creating my resume, I’ve been hired as a Head Girls Basketball Coach. It took only 35 days from when you finalized my resume until the School Board approved my hiring! Specifically, here’s why I know you played an important role in helping my resume get to the “top of the pile:” I had absolutely NO connection to anyone on the Search Committee. My last “real” basketball coaching job was in college 18 yrs. ago; the skills and experience that I possess were so clearly laid out on my resume…it’s EXACTLY what they were looking for. The A.D. told me she NEVER has had any coach present a “First 30 Days Plan” (which you suggested) to her in 20+ yrs. in athletics. I think it truly is a great fit for both parties!” – Jeff Pearson, Head Girls Basketball Coach, Westmont High School, Chicago, IL
“I put together my own resume a few years ago, in pursuit of a DFO position. Nothing at all has
occurred, as far as getting past human resources or to the interview process. That’s with experience and good references. I turned to Eight Laces and Chris Fore for help. He has turned my resume into a human resources dream with all my information on the first page, quick and easy to read, very informative. I can’t wait to send it out. Thanks Chris!” – Mark Matlock
“It had been 10+ years since I even looked at my resume, and lo and behold it needed a huge ‘tune up’. I was applying for jobs this past winter and knew that I needed to upgrade and I sought out Coach Chris Fore as a resource to give my resume a major overhaul. I can say with confidence that Coach Fore had a huge part in my recent hire at Monrovia HS. He not only helped me revamp my resume, but gave it that ‘pop’ that most resumes do not have. Coach Fore took both my educational and coaching resume and rewired it to make it current and stand above the rest. Coach Fore comes with my highest recommendation for any coach at any level looking to give their professional resume a face lift. If you want that edge going to your next interview, then contact Coach Fore and allow him help you get that next job.” – Chris A. Stevens, Head Football Coach, Chino Hills High School, Chino, CA
“Coach Fore’s resume building skills have helped me tremendously. In my previous 3 years of coaching I have been at schools that aren’t well known for football. With the help of his resume building I have attained a job this next year at a state championship contending program as the defensive line coach.” – Sergio Gonzalez, Texas
Coach Fore was very cordial and helpful throughout the entire process. He always responded to my emails within the day if not quicker, and was always there to give a helpful suggestion. While it hasn’t currently led me to a new position, I got into this process late in the game, I believe that my resume will be easily updatable in the near future and I have Coach Fore to thank for it.” – Tony Shiffman
Thanks Coach Fore for creating a new resume for me and I been getting a lot a calls for his professional resume service that I have not had before so I happy I’m getting attention back that I never got before.

“Coach Fore did an amazing job with my resume, he did an outstanding job making it pop off the page and highlighting each of my achievements.

Having the eyes and mind of an Athletic director upgrade your resume is as valuable as it gets!” – Jeremy Sarina, California
“The resume is 100% different than any resume sample/template I could have ever found on Google.

Thanks to Chris, I landed the job that I wanted.” – Derrick Minor, Head Football Coach, Rockingham County High School
