Testimonials
Job interview in 3 weeks
“In just three weeks after you did my résumé and LInkedIn profile, I applied for a job through LinkedIn to work at one of Dubai's most important financial companies. I’m now in the second round of interviews.”
- Senior in-house corporate lawyer
moving away from bitterness
“Now that I’m doing this [coaching and résumé writing], I’m moving away from bitterness. I want to stay with the firm and build a career trajectory and I’m glad to see that I’m not pigeon-holed into litigation because now I can see how that would help in a company. This [résumé] looks more like I’ve built some knowledge in a specific area over the last five years. I don’t want to throw away everything!”

exactly what to do
“Thank you so much for the information, Julie. You answered and really helped a lot with everything that I had a question on. I know it’s really going to do a lot. It’s always really helpful just to hear advice on what exactly to do, especially for someone who’s recently graduated and trying to find a place of employment. Thank you so much - I’m confident something will happen!”
- Recently licensed attorney transitioning into first career position
a great perspective and tutorial
“I’ve only done hiring in law firms, and I’ve never thought about the things you’re talking about. This is been a great perspective and tutorial on how companies hire GCs.”
- Former AmLaw 100 equity partner
a word-for-word script
“I did everything you told me to do, said everything you told me to say. It was almost like you gave a word-for-word script. And [former federal agency Commissioner] responded exactly the way you predicted. I wish could have recorded it for you! I’m so pleased at how the conversation went and laid the groundwork for my job search.”
- Law firm partner exploring GC roles
I will definitely be recommending you

- General Counsel
totally lost about marketing myself
“That was a lot to take in, Jared, but it has been extremely helpful and yours your points on how to look for a job [for someone in my senior position] is spot on. Last time I looked for a job, LinkedIn barely existed. I’m good at personal relationships, but I’m totally lost about marketing myself. I like the idea of condensing my story under categorized bullet points; getting as specific as I need to be by including some wins, without having to provide a laundry list. I’'ll be in touch again after I’ve locked myself in a room and done a couple of JDAs!"
- EVP, Chief Counsel & Director of Litigation
offer and acceptance
“Thanks so much for all your help, Jared. The company I interviewed at two weeks ago, gave me an offer and I just accepted after some salary negotiation.”
- Senior IP counsel
make the right move
“This makes me want to stay with my firm so I can build this story and make the right move. A few weeks ago I was really unhappy. I wanted to be an historian, but didn't want to get a Ph.D. I don't want to throw away my law degree.”
- BigLaw litigation associate
a gameplan
“I’m realizing that I need to approach my career with direct intention. This haphazard approach just doesn’t work anymore. As an athlete, I know you’ve got to have a game plan to move forward. Now I have one.”
