I found my dream job
“I’m happy to report I found my dream job (left the in-house legal department) and now I’m on the business side of development, in the city where I want to retire, and with the company that is the best fit for me culturally and intellectually. And I did all this through networking, patience, and developing a job position that did not exist six months ago. Cheers.”

I should have hired you from the beginning.
“I didn’t fully appreciate the nuance of hiring a résumé writer who didn’t know legal hiring and wasn’t a lawyer. I’m not proud of the original résumé I paid for and it doesn’t reflect who I am. Yours is so much better, so much more in-depth. As you’ve been asking me questions, I’m like, ‘Oh, she really gets it.’ You’re really good at this and I'm so glad I came to you. I should have hired you from the beginning.”
