It was a joy
“Beautiful. Your strategy makes a lot of sense. The new résumé talks more much about the transferrable skills, rather than wasting time on stuff that just doesn’t matter. This is amazing. Thank you for helping me articulate things running around in my brain that I didn’t have the right words for. It was a joy watching it happen.”

Yay me!

I went to another résumé writing service...
“I went to another résumé writing service. That résumé writer didn’t know anything about law so it was hard to talk to her and I ended up a résumé with too much going and it’s not conveying real meaning. I tried to fix it, but I didn’t know how. Now my résumé flows much better and it shows my progression. It’s so much better than I was able to do.”
