“The CEO reached out to me on LinkedIn. We had a lot of contacts in common, so networking matters. And we got along really well. It wasn’t until just before they gave me the offer that the job ad was created and posted.”

- Senior counsel transferring to first GC role

“Thanks for everything you’ve done for me.”

- Candidate for Fortune 500 Chief Patent Officer roles

- Capital markets executive for a global investment bank

“​It’s funny to watch your thought process. I’m realizing that I just sucked the life out of my résumé. The more we talk, the more I see the limitations in my own thought in how to market and present my work and I’m impressed with how succinct the new résumé is.​ This has been immensely valuable.”

- Senior dealmaker and generalist at tech company

“​The profile is pretty much all there, exactly how I wanted it. The format made it really easy to edit and upload into LinkedIn.”

- Senior Fortune 500 in-house counsel

“It’s good. It’s intense. It’s everything I thought it would be and more. I really like interacting with the board and it’s a huge portion of my job. I learn something new everyday. I did interview with the executive team and have to be approved by the board and the GC of the majority stockholder, but I felt prepared for the whole process.”

- Senior corporate generalist on landing first role as GC in a public company

“Hi Jared, thanks again for all of your help. The [Company Name] is interested, and I have an interview with the recruiters later this week. I’ll let you know how it goes. If I get an actual interview, I’d like to schedule time with you for prep.”

- AGC for one of the world's largest nonprofit foundations

“I read through the résumé we worked on and I’m really pleased with it. I’ve got to say, it just has a completely different feel to it than my original. It’s more human. I really like the framing of each job. It’s fantastic. And just really tells a story where my old résumé didn’t. I’m not used to thinking about accomplishments instead of tasks. In some ways, it’s very obvious, but there’s a subtlety to what you do that’s very elegant. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m happy. I’ve enjoyed our conversations—not only because they've been super productive and helpful—but also because like talking to you. It’s been a shot of confidence at time when work has been depressing.”

- GC track transactional lawyer

- Chief Compliance Officer candidate

- Appeals division director for a state agency

“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

“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

“​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

“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

“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.”
