“I had the pleasure of working with John and Misty at the First Source Team. They provided plenty of coaching and guidance to help me in my job search. Misty took several copies of my resume and crafted a wonderful industry-standard version that really highlights my career. Her redesign of my LinkedIn page was fantastic. John was able to give strong, actionable advice that got me noticed. They said as long as I followed their advice, I would see results, and they were spot on. I highly recommend the First Source team if you are looking for a new career, a career change, or even want to increase your reach on LinkedIn as a professional.”
“I had the pleasure of working with First Source Team during my job search and was incredibly impressed by their professionalism, sincerity, and deep understanding of today’s job market. What sets this team apart is that they don’t just throw advice at you and hope it sticks. They offer a structured and targeted process designed specifically to help job seekers land their next role with confidence. One of the most refreshing parts of working with them is that they genuinely care. On multiple occasions, I witnessed their authentic enthusiasm when a client landed a job. It’s clear this is more than just business to them. They are truly passionate about what they do and the lives they’re helping to improve.”
“Misty helped me navigate through today’s job application tools: AI, branding, profiles, resume/job description matching. That training allowed my resume to be viewed in the top 5 out of 100 applicants many, many times. That same process helped me get several interviews when others have been facing application “ghosting.” I have attended other training sessions from recruiting firms where I learned nothing new, only validating that Misty’s training and support is spot on with the industry! Thanks again, Misty, for helping me land my new job!”
“What an amazing team of people! Thank you John Schrup and Misty Schnuelle for your help creating resumes, updating and upgrading my LinkedIn, and job searching in today’s environment! I cannot say enough how much the experience benefited me. Perhaps more important than securing a job, in less than three months, the confidence that you helped restore has been priceless.”

“My initial impression following our first two webinars were eye-opening. Having used a version of the same template for the last 10 years, I underestimated the impact AI and its role in identifying talent for hiring managers. The statistic was 85% of HR departments were using an Applicant Tracking System. I highly recommend First Source Team. Their lesson is a must on your to-do list.”
