“You’re listening to and responding to my concerns, and I appreciate that.”

a break out moment
“It really hit me this past week: Shauna’s like a fairy godmother. You’ve challenged me to think about what kind of person and professional I want to be. What kind of brand I want to have. You’ve identified what's been one of my downfalls. This is, to me, a break out moment where I can be the lawyer I want to be. This has also been really helpful advice about how to get there. There are all these things that I don’t really get about how to go about accomplishing my goal, but you do! So one thing I’ve learned from you is how to start becoming the professional I want to be.”

how to get started
“I feel like I have a better sense of how to get started with my job search and I know better what I need to review before I go in for job interviews.”
- Assistant District Attorney
just giddy
“Shauna, you’ve been absolutely amazing. I’m just giddy right now. You are very, VERY talented. I’m very impressed by what you’ve done in just an hour. There’s so much more texture to my résumé. Texture... that’s the only word I can think of to describe it. I’m finally coming across as an individual. I cannot wait to work on my cover letter!“

really productive
“I think this has been really productive. I see that the résumé tells more of a full story so I really like it. It says so much, but in such an easy way.”

Career Services told me there was nothing I could do
“This much a better plan than what I had before! When I talked to Career Services, they basically told me there was nothing I could do to look for a job while I wait for the bar exam results. But you’ve already outlined a lot of logical things I could be doing to be a better candidate and look for a job. And that makes so much more sense to me, because doing nothing but sitting around makes *no* sense.”

100 new LinkedIn connections
"I’ve really been digging to LinkedIn and I’ve gotten more than 100 new connections in my area since we last talked. I’ve also been doing a lot of research to find lawyers who used to work at the employers I’m targeting.”

it flows more naturally
“Both the résumé and cover letter tell my story with a better approach and bring in my backstory. The way everything’s structured seems to flow a lot better now. I *love* what you did to edit my cover letter. It’s like the story I had, but it flows more naturally and it’s just laid out beautifully. It’s not as choppy anymore; it's just very smooth.”

a vast improvement
“There’s been a vast improvement in my job search prospects since I talked to you. It was incredible how quick it all happened. Not only am I finally getting responses to my résumé, but I also just wake up feeling better, with more get-up-and-go. Things are starting to move!”
