Testimonials

Keith is hands-down the best leader I had the privilege to work for and with. In addition to being a highly competent, get-things-done professional, he has a contagious enthusiasm and I am confident he could sell a pen to a computer. I arrived to my interview with him still considering my options and left with ResumeSpice swag. In the three years I worked with ResumeSpice, it was evident that Keith not only cares about the success of his team, he cares about his team as individuals. I thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with him on program development and learning from his expertise, which he shared freely. It was a privilege to be part of the Murray Resources and ResumeSpice teams under Keith's direction. Both companies are fortunate to have him.

Just a quick comment about my experience with ResumeSpice. I have worked with other professional resume services several times over the years and have ALWAYS been disappointed. My experience with ResumeSpice from beginning to end was exceptional. The finished product was the best I’ve ever seen. I was fortunate to work with one of the senior leaders/owners, Keith Wolf, who is a complete professional, but he truly reflects the company.

Capturing my regard for Keith Wolf with limited words is a challenging endeavor – but one I'll attempt with great pleasure. Keith is a class act, who as a one-man marketing machine, created a brand identity and marketing tools for OrthoClear that eclipsed the efforts of our competition.
Keith's ability to translate creative concepts into world-class trade shows, media campaigns and marketing tools is phenomenal. He's also the kind of guy one looks forward to seeing in the office every morning. Anyone who's worked with Keith would welcome the opportunity to do so again .
Orthodontic Sales Consultant

Keith accomplished more as a one man marketing team for Orthoclear than any large marketing group that I have worked with in the past. He demonstrated a great combination of creativity plus getting things done in a high quantity and quality. Keith also listened to and interacted very well with key customers and with sales representatives.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses are disclosed for manufacturing, organizing, storing, and tracking dental devices such as removable dental aligners. In some variations, these systems, methods, and apparatuses may enable a patient or doctor to select the proper dental device from a series of dental devices to be worn in an intended sequence even where the dental devices are unmarked with respect to their position in the sequence. For example, the dental devices may be arranged in a manner that leads the patient or doctor to intuitively select and use the dental aligners in the appropriate sequence. This can be accomplished, for example, by presenting the dental devices in the sequence in which they are to be worn or presenting them in a manner that encourages or requires accessing them in that sequence.
