Testimonials
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.”
