a key factor

“I wanted to reach out to thank Shauna for her assistance with my résumé [last month]. I just landed a job (I start next week) that exactly fits what I was looking for: half-time, long-term work that fits my skills and preference, allowing me to work from my home office, with a highly-regarded law firm. Shauna re-did my résumé [in a Résumé Cram with Live Edit] to play up my strengths, and I believe that this was a key factor in their interest in me. I am really appreciative of Shauna’s energy and experience that gave me this edge.”

Shauna, you’re like my fairy godmother.

“Shauna, you’re like my fairy godmother. You’ve been extremely helpful at every step of this process. I have been learning that there’s a lot more thought involved in building a résumé than I anticipated. But going through the process is good interview prep as well. There’s so much conflicting advice on the internet and it’s been hard to find credible information and advice—at least until I found you.”
