- Second-career lawyer transitioning in-house
I should have hired you from the beginning.
“I didn’t fully appreciate the nuance of hiring a résumé writer who didn’t know legal hiring and wasn’t a lawyer. I’m not proud of the original résumé I paid for and it doesn’t reflect who I am. Yours is so much better, so much more in-depth. As you’ve been asking me questions, I’m like, ‘Oh, she really gets it.’ You’re really good at this and I'm so glad I came to you. I should have hired you from the beginning.”
