seven-year itch
“I’ve got the seven-year itch; I've just been at this place for a long time, so I can’t help but wonder what else is out there. This was very valuable because I think I have the tools now to really work on my résumé and start to explore opportunities both inside the company and in other places.”

easy to follow instructions
“The LinkedIn profile optimization looks great! It was very easy to follow along with your instructions. Everything looks really good. I made all your recommended changes. I really like the summary. The skills you suggested made a lot of sense. And the LinkedIn for Lawyers book was very helpful. It’s a really nice book.”

- Lead IP counsel
Now I’m buying to myself.
“I feel so much more confident and empowered. I realize I have so much more to offer. I used to think that my employer controlled my career. It was safe there, and I had a lot of excuses not to develop my career, get new experiences, and new perspectives. I just bought into my employer’s party line. Now I’m buying to myself.”
- Fortune 500 senior corporate generalist
I’ve had more recruiters looking at me on LinkedIn
“I initially thought I wouldn’t have anything to tell an employer, like I had nothing to offer. Now, I know this is a good exercise in general. The very first time we talked, you talked to me about paying more attention to the skills I’m gaining and not just the tasks. I had a really good call with a Major, Lindsey and Africa recruiter yesterday who found me in LinkedIn. Since I’ve been working with you, I’ve had more recruiters looking at me on LinkedIn than I ever had.”

I was hesitant

- Chief regional counsel for Fortune 100
much better than the one I had before

enormously helpful

I’m going to get lots of interviews with this résumé!
“I like where this is going! I’m going to get lots of interviews with this résumé! And I’ve enjoyed the process. You ask great questions. I’m happy to continue working with you for all my career docs.”

grabs the reader
“I love the very first sentence of my LinkedIn profile summary. It just really grabs the reader. There are some really powerful ideas and language in there. I’ve been so anti-LinkedIn, and I appreciate you taking into account my desire for privacy. You clearly put a lot of thought into it. I’d had a bunch of questions, but you’ve addressed all of them. And you’ve really clarified my thinking. Your instructions for inputting the profile were straight-forward and your LinkedIn book was very helpful. Thank you for dragging me into the 21st century!”
- Lead compliance lawyer of NYSE-listed company
a fire in my belly
“I feel really good about the résumé. And I felt really good after our conversation. I think it’s what I needed to pull the information out and understand what’s going to be of interest to folks. I’ve actually already gotten a few reach outs from recruiters through LinkedIn, so I now have a fire in my belly to keep working together. It’s all making me feel better about my ability to generate business. I’m excited.”
