"It is an
honor and privilege to affiliate with Rick Sears. Rick is
extremely enthusiastic about his work which is infectious.
He takes a unique business approach as he works with those in
career transition and provides a new perspective for ALL who
meet him. I have personally observed participants in his
workshops “come alive” with a new strategy to land their
next position. Rick has the heart of a coach and if you
ever have the opportunity to work with him, you must seize the
moment! He will transform your thinking and set you on the
best track. Rick contributes greatness in whatever he does
and has my utmost endorsement and recommendation."

Team, LLC
"Rick's drive, enthusiasm and initiative are contagious!
His experience coupled with his desire to help those in
transition is amazingly effective."
Julie Shore, SPHR, Independent HR Consultant
"Similar to thousands of others, I recently found myself
unemployed and wandering aimlessly through a sea of bad
interviews and inability to get in any of the "good"
doors. A friend of mine had met Rick previously and, due
to her great experience with his work, recommended that I call
him for some help. Rick and I met several times and I must
say, in addition to his overwhelmingly positive demeanor, Rick
gracefully helped guide me through the arduous task of getting
my feet back on the ground, finding the right people and
companies, and ultimately, getting myself in the door. In
an economy full of negativity, Rick is truly a positive.
If you are in the market for a new job or even a career change,
there is no one better than Rick Sears."
Brooke Gibson, CCIM, Real Estate Investment Sales,
Coldwell Banker Commercial MECA
"Rick is an incredibly
motivating speaker and an exceptionally inspirational career
coach. He has a genuine drive to help others and a
generosity that is rare. Rick takes the time to get to
know each person he is working with as an individual and creates
a customized approach to help them reach their goals. He
has proven himself as a caring mentor, a wealth of information,
and an invaluable resource."
Eric Perlman, hired Rick as a Career Coach in 2011
"Ever wonder what to write in a
recommendation? Sometimes we struggle to find the right
thoughts but not this time it is easy: Rick is a true gentlemen;
he is forthright, hardworking and thoughtful, and possesses one
of the most spectacular personalities I have ever encountered.
He is a superior motivator and transfers his enthusiasm for a
project to the entire team! I consider myself lucky to
have worked with Rick and would encourage anyone considering the
same to proceed with confidence…you are in good hands."
Ellen Byrd, Senior IT Recruiter

grow professionally and market myself for the future. He
has provided advice and insights that I will keep with me for
the rest of my career. Rick is a wealth of knowledge when
it comes to growing your professional career. I highly

advice! He is kind, knowledgeable and will be the needed
friend that listens in times of need. Rick can be trusted
without any ulterior motives. I completely recommend Rick
Sears and Career Masters International!"

"I went to one of Rick's Charlotte
Career workshops. The workshop was extremely informative
and very well organized. Since taking his workshop on
March 23rd, I have had two Company interviews. Prior to
his workshop, I was unable to land a company interview for two
months. He is the type of person whom you feel is always
on your side and willing to help. I would highly recommend
his career services."
Thomas Harrington, hired Rick as a Career Coach in 2011

Rick and his staff were extremely helpful for my job search
endeavors. Rick and the staff of CMI are a wealth of

their job search. I would definitely recommend them to
anyone needing career coaching."
Karen Oldiges PHR, HR Consultant, GATE PRC
"I had attended one of Rick Sears'
career seminars and found the information extremely valuable for
securing employment opportunities. He also took the time
to meet with me personally after the seminar to review my resume
and answer any questions regarding my career goals and
objectives. His depth of knowledge and sincere approach
has given me new insights on networking and moving forward in my
chosen industry."
Laura Shields, hired Rick as a Career Coach in 2011
"I have known Rick for over a year
now. He has always been professional and insightful into
the local and national markets. He has helped me
understand the necessity of networking and partnering for a
successful career. Rick knows how to communicate with
people to draw out points of discussion and lead them to a
satisfying conclusion. If you need help in steering your
career or would like to confirm you are on the right track, I
would highly recommend making an appointment to engage Rick as a
mentor."
Richard Kamp, hired Rick as a Career Coach in 2011
"I had the pleasure of working
with Rick on a couple of projects, and he proved to be a
valuable member of the team; providing valuable input and taking
on the responsibility to complete many of the tasks. Rick
has also been helpful to me in my career development,
contributing his time in the form of advise, recommendations,
feedback, coaching and accountability. If you're searching
for a Career Advisor, Mentor and/or Accountability Coach; you'll

Rick Thibodeau, Director, Evaluation Services, EvaluSys,

"Rick is an incredibly talented
person with a wealth of knowledge in the job selection process,
using the internet, and many other areas. He has great
people skills, is very dependable, and is a very uplifting
person. I highly recommend him to any organization in the
unfortunate situation of laying off staff."
Bob Hofmann, Owner, Innovative Financial Strategies
"Rick’s personality and
enthusiasm are infectious, being evident in every facet of daily
business. His ability to empathize with us, by having done
all we do, merely maximizes the success potential of Sterling's
Partners. His inordinate expertise in systems allows for
the manipulation of data such that we always seem to be a step
ahead of the competition in our efforts to find the absolute
right candidates, be they active or passive. It should not
be overlooked that Rick also founded yet another firm earlier
this year, Career Masters International, an outplacement
organization that has been immediately successful in the
marketplace. This serves as yet further testament to
Rick’s drive and business acumen while affording the business
community much needed services in today’s economy, always
thinking two steps ahead to give them what they want and need.
The pleasure and satisfaction I derive from my association with
Mr. Sears may just be immeasurable. Any individual or
company in a position to utilize what it is he and his services
bring to the workplace is far better off as a result.
It’s my great pleasure to recommend Rick in any of his
business endeavors. A “consummate professional” comes to
mind as the appropriate descriptor."
Charlie Duvall, Managing Partner, Sterling Partners
