Happy Birthday, Abby. I volunteered with a Job Networking Ministry when I saw you speak twice and was most inspired by your knowledge, generosity of spirit, honesty, and your sincere desire to help others. I continue to recommend you to those looking for a job or looking for a better job. It's hard to decide which pieces of advice have been most useful, but I would put that little book, "Top 12 Interview Questions Exposed" right there the top of the list.
Kudos

Abby spoke at a career forum that I organized at Metropolitan College of New York. She gave great advice!
Abby came and spoke to the job club I lead, Job Seekers Network, and really motivated and trained the job seekers on some of the most relevant topics to help them move forward in a big way. She got great reviews from everyone who heard her. She stayed afterwards to help too. God bless Abby and Happy Birthday!
Abby has been an acclaimed speaker at two transition groups that I help sponsor in Atlanta: FENG and BENG. Her words of wisdom are always helpful to the group. Happy Birthday Abby. I look forward to seeing you again next time you are in town.
Happy 50th Birthday, Abby!!
I first heard you at a 40 Plus presentation in Washington, DC. As always and since, you have been truthful and "awesome," espousing the phrase that you are "perfectly qualified," to an audience of seasoned work veterans.
You have an amazing way of putting your audience at ease, and reassuring them that they are enough.
Happy 50th, and wishing you the "Very Best," for the next 50 years, and beyond.
I've been listening to Abby through various layoffs since 2011. I've always appreciated her kind attention, wisdom and realize there is no one else like her, helping and guiding us. Happy Birthday! Know that you have made a difference.
I had the opportunity to meet you and enjoy your presentation. Thank you for all the help you have brought to others across the country.
Wishing that you have a wonderful heart felt birthday. May God bless you in all you do helping many to get employed. Thank you.
Happy Birthday, Abby! Wishing you all the best!

Thank you Abby for all you do for us in transition. You are a true blessing and inspiration. Keep up the encouraging words.
I heard Abby speak in Middletown NJ early on a rainy, Saturday morning. Her topic was overcoming the "overqualified" statement. Subsequently, I purchased Abby's LinkedIn assistance offer.
Abby gave me the encouragement and optimism that I need to plow forward in my career transition. Her advice is relevant to my situation, and her enthusiasm is infectous.
Happy Birthday.
Thank you for speaking at our job networking meeting, please have a great fiftieth birthday. Hope your mission continues with great success!

Happy Birthday Abby!!! You do not look 50 years old, so rock it baby! I attended your Prairie State College seminar. Thank you for all the information. I am more confident about finding that perfect job. Have a wonderful birthday!
Happy Birthday, Abby!
I took your advice. When I got a temp position, I made them love me so much that the people I temped for helped me get a different permanent position at the company when the temp position ended.
I've now made a successful transition from the legal field to healthcare. I couldn't be happier. I also followed your advice and wasn't afraid to change fields.
Thank you for all that you do for all of us.
I volunteer at My Career Transitions in Malvern PA, where you've been one of our speakers. I am constantly talking about you and referring people to your website.

Abby, thanks for all you do to help those in transition. I wish you all the best and honestly would have never thought you were 50! Think of all the lives you have touched and people you have helped and you can see the purpose that your efforts have achieved.
Thanks for the encouragement and LinkedIn Profile advice.
Happy Birthday. Welcome to the AARP club. Thanks for all you do. I have seen you a number of times over the years when you are back in your home state and have gotten a lot out of your Cateer Wake Up Calls. Keep up the good work!!!!
Abby has been a great friend and help both to my personal career and to the expansion of Neighbors-helping-Neighbors USA which will be 6 years old shortly after Abby turns 50.
Abby - thank you for giving me new hope after my fourth lay off of my career! Your workshops, and especially the interview tips book and LinkedIn review added to my skills and my confidence. I tell people about you all the time!!! Best wishes for a fabulous 50!!!
Abby's smile and personal story helped to inspire me towards settings goals and embracing my opportunities to share my gifts with others. Abby has helped so many and I remember how she coached and built a person up after seeing that person's artwork. Abby you're wonderful and I'm glad we met. Happy Birthday dear Abby!
Abby - A healthy and happy birthday to you! May you have many more of them. You joined the club! I reached the milestone a couple of months ago. I definitely don't feel it and bet you don't either. I want to take the opportunity to thank you for everything you do. You provide a great service and I hope you successfully continue and this is not a sign of retirement! All the best!
Abby - I met you while working as a volunteer with United Way. Your advice helped me to adjust my outlook as I searched for a career position. Your advice has given me a "birthday gift" every day as I celebrate that career. Happy Birthday, and thank you.
Heard Abby speak at FENG meetings 1,000 miles apart and loved her inspirational ping pong story both times. You've got to go for the gold!

Happy Birthday, Abby!! You have touched lives in so many ways and helped those who needed it when they needed it most. For me, you had given hope to what seemed like a hopeless job market. Be Blessed!!
Abby, Happy Birthday! I recently heard someone say that sharing is caring. Your sharing reflects your caring. I would say that caring is leading. Your caring reflects your leading. Thank you for providing a leadership example for us on how to lead, care, share, and improve one of the most important areas of our lives. Best wishes and may your talents and accomplishments be recognized and praised by many others.
Abby has inspired, delighted, jolted and surprised me into the vast possibility of myself.
I am grateful to her forever!
Happy Birthday Beautiful Abby
All Love

Happy 50th Birthday Abby. May you have many more happy and healthy years of life. Your upbeat personality and "never give up" mentality is a model for all of us! I implemented your review comments on how to improve my LinkedIn page, which helped me get noticed by recruiters and led to my current job. Thank you so much.
Abby has been quite the blessing for most of the job seekers in our DFW network. She is also my Sister in life and ministry. I can't say enough for Abby as a person. She has been the one that I can share many ministry ideas and also has helped me to implement many programs for job seekers. GOD Bless my Sister.
I have been through many ups and downs but as far down as I have been, I can always rely on your books, your calls and your presentations to revitalize me and to push forward.
Thank you for all you have done, currently do and all you will do in the future. You truly care about people and I know I am only one of so many who appreciate it!
May God continue to bless you as you continue your journey.
Abby, Thank-you for all that you do! Enjoy your special day!
Abby just being "Absolutely Abby" inspires me and encourages me to continue to do the work I do! We are cut from the same cloth in many ways, and share the same passion for helping job seekers! So glad to know you and call you my friend and colleague, Abby! Happy 50th!
You inspired us. You shared with us. Afterward, you graciously spoke about one of my passions: fighting against something that impacts my friends; fighting against what impacts you. Fight on! Happy birthday, my friend.
For never giving up on your vision, daring to be different, and for how well you serve your people... wishing you an amazing 50th birthday!
