Testimonials
Now that I look at the résumés I’ve had professionally written in the past, I’m dissatisfied with them.
“I thought the CV was a great document. I really liked it, and now I understand the difference between a résumé and a CV. The more I read it, the more I realized how well it reflects my career. When I came to you, I wanted something that made me less a ‘senior manager’ and more executive suite. The document does that. This really does that. And, like I said, the document was well received by executive recruiters. I’m very pleased with the work, and I really enjoyed worked with you. Now that I look at the résumés I’ve had professionally written in the past, I’m dissatisfied with them.”

You’ve explained and solved exactly the conundrum I faced.
“Your advice totally makes sense. You’ve explained and solved exactly the conundrum I faced. Getting the feedback of someone with your experience is great. What you’ve said is incredibly helpful. I’m very energized to get to work on my résumé [after the Résumé Cram].”

Yesterday was my first day
“Yesterday was my first day as [in-house counsel] of [Company]… Thank you for the wonderful résumé! It absolutely helped. Thank you so much for everything. You certainly will be hearing from me again.”
- Former General Counsel of $1 billion entertainment company
Mine looks like it was done by a third grader. Yours looks like a master’s thesis.
“I’m feeling really good [about the CV]. I would have never thought to do this myself, but I like the format and it positions me well. And I’ve had friends in HR look at it…. My experience with you has been extremely helpful. Being able to talk things through, and really dig down deep to consider things I haven’t thought about. It was a really good exercise. This whole process has been educational and exciting. When I look at my original [CV] side by side with yours, mine looks like it was done by a third grader. Yours looks like a master’s thesis. This résumé opens me up to so many other opportunities. I wish I had met you and gone through this process years ago. I keep wondering how many opportunities I’ve missed out on over the years.”

I really like the language and imagery
“I really like the design of the résumé, what you did graphically and translating political speech into something that’s law firm-relevant. I really like the language and imagery of the cover letter. And the letter of recommendation [for signature by U.S. Presidential candidate] is great. It really captures the different points.”
