a marked difference

- Senior in-house counsel in S&P 500 component company
I interviewed 7 other résumé writers
“It’s been really good working with you, Jared. It’s funny, I interviewed 7 other résumé writers before talking to you. Recently, I happened to find some of their samples and said, ‘Oh my résumé is so much better than these.’ Some were good but I feel like mine was a lot better. This has forced me to really figure out what I do day-to-day. I’m really excited about it. I feel like my résumé is a lot stronger than what I started with. Like night and day.“

new and better role
“Thanks, Jared! With your help on the résumé, I got a new job! I’m quite pleased with it and wanted to thank you for all your efforts. A FinTech company offered me a more senior position with better pay and more flexibility with hours. I actually didn’t have to apply to many places because the résumé you helped me write really showcased my experience. I really do appreciate all your help with it.”

an extremely helpful exercise

I have struggled with this for months
“In the last 10 minutes, I’ve realized that I really needed something to click with me about why I’m not interviewing well. And this is it. I’ve had all the answers in my head, but my insecurities cloud my ability to give the clear, concise, confident answers. Honestly, I have struggled with this for months. I’ve been so hung up on trying to justify and apologize for my background instead of really understanding that it has value. I finally got it! I'm so glad we did this.”
