Read More“I truly do not think I would have been able to spin my two years post-law school anywhere near effectively as Shauna was able to. Thank you and it was well worth every penny and has already paid for itself.
I had been applying to the same two agencies in DC since August 2016. I had received 0 interviews.
After having Shauna do my résumé rewrite, I resumed my job search at the end of April 2018. I applied back to the agency that was at the top of my list and had an interview in June... however, they had an internal candidate. I had applied for another position in the agency, had a phone interview two days later, and accepted an offer yesterday. I start my new job [date].”

It was a bit of an interview process, but I got an offer earlier this week, and, after some negotiation, accepted this morning. Base salary is up 30% - and I will be doing work that is far more interesting to me than eDiscovery! Thanks again for everything!”

Read More“Shauna, I’m already happy. You had me at hello. What I’m getting out of this process is not just a great document. It’s advice. It’s career strategy. When you’re looking for a job and not being successful, you start to second-guess yourself, your career, and your choices. But what you’ve drawn out of me is that I’ve actually had a pretty damn good career and done a pretty damn good job. I have things to be proud of. You’ve made me realize that. And you’ve given me more confidence. What you’ve done... from a mental perspective, I’m so much better. This is your calling. I’m very impressed and I’m so happy.”
