the best version of myself and my skills
“Hi Shauna, I hope you are doing well. We worked together in May 2017 on my résumé and cover letter for pursuing in-house attorney positions. You were incredibly helpful and I am so happy to report that I received a position as Deputy General Counsel in June at a fast growing startup. It has been a wonderful experience and your assistance in presenting the best version of myself and my skills was instrumental in obtaining this position. So thank you! I was [also] recently informed by the CEO that I will soon be promoted to General Counsel (yay).”

I tripled my salary!
“I am happy to report I made the lateral move from a seven-lawyer firm to a BigLaw firm with over 600 lawyers. I also tripled my salary! In the process of securing my new role, I also had two other interviews at Am Law 200 firms. I’m sure the résumé played a role because I went from no interviews to three almost immediately after meeting with Shauna. Tell Shauna I said thanks and I’ll refer her to anyone who asks!”

Now I feel great.
“This is an outstanding service you’re providing people. I really feel like I had hit a wall in my job search. A family friend who is a Silicon Valley GC said my résumé didn’t show me as a lawyer; it looked like an intern’s résumé. Now I feel great. I really like how it’s reorganized and focused.”

“This résumé and this experience are helping to propel me forward. I’ve had to get over some of my hangups that lawyers are just supposed to put their heads down and work. I’m changing how I think about myself so that I’m now thinking and talking about my value and the impact that I’ve had. The résumé was excellent and I’m excited.”
