Testimonials
really really really good
“Overall, the LinkedIn profile optimization is really really really good.”
- Chief Compliance Officer candidate
totally lost about marketing myself
“That was a lot to take in, Jared, but it has been extremely helpful and yours your points on how to look for a job [for someone in my senior position] is spot on. Last time I looked for a job, LinkedIn barely existed. I’m good at personal relationships, but I’m totally lost about marketing myself. I like the idea of condensing my story under categorized bullet points; getting as specific as I need to be by including some wins, without having to provide a laundry list. I’'ll be in touch again after I’ve locked myself in a room and done a couple of JDAs!"
- EVP, Chief Counsel & Director of Litigation
I got this job partly because of you.
“Thank you for all your help with the résumé and everything. Without you I wouldn't know any of this stuff. I mean I know I got this job partly because of you.”
- Director of Government Affairs for association
a very valuable tip
“You once told me to always reach out to directly to the GC, like through LinkedIn, when I see a job that interested me. That was a very valuable tip. Some told me I was the only candidate to ever do that. And they love all the details included in the résumé. I've gotten very positive feedback.”
- Primary in-house counsel for $7 billion business
getting unstuck
“Jared, this was super helpful. You know how it is when you know your résumé isn’t quite right but don’t know how to get yourself unstuck. I didn’t know what to expect when I signed up, but you’ve given me so many good ideas. I'm going to run off and do as much as I can on my own ... then I might be back for another session! You also might get a call from a colleague who was wondering how this would go."
- Senior in-house counsel for a publicly-traded energy company
no other competitor doing what you guys are doing
“Just so you know, Jared, I thought your thinking was great. The starter skeleton was a really good roadmap for us [to write the résumé]. I can tell you’ve done this many times before. There’s no other competitor doing what you guys are doing. This is incredible. Now I understand why this takes time. You’re really trying to crush the story. As you say, it’s important for the company, but also me. The GC role is pretty damned important. This was a reality check [and] I’m so impressed with the product.”
- Hong Kong-based senior legal advisor in global investment bank
offer and acceptance
“Thanks so much for all your help, Jared. The company I interviewed at two weeks ago, gave me an offer and I just accepted after some salary negotiation.”
- Senior IP counsel
a marked difference
“This has been great. This is a marked difference from the résumé I paid another resume writer for. This looks really good.”
- 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.“
- Fixed income division associate for a multinational investment bank and financial services company
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.”
- Senior in-house counsel
Exactly why I came to you.
“This is exactly what I needed. Exactly why I came to you. I wanted someone who could do a more compelling story.”
- In-house counsel who had been to two other résumé writers
Thank you for all your effort.
“It’s really, really helpful and self-explanatory and very detailed, and very much in alignment with all the work we’ve been doing on the résumé. Thank you for all your effort.”
- Chief Data Privacy Officer
I’ve just gotten promoted
“I spoke with Shauna generally about career direction about a year ago. She was super-helpful and I’ve spent the last year sinking in to the direction she helped me embrace... Now, I’ve just gotten promoted…”

worth the wait
