Testimonials
I have been raving about you
“Shauna, Thank you so much. The cover letter is exactly what I needed! You are incredible and I have been raving about you to former colleagues and friends so expect to hear from a few people!”
- National security / cybersecurity lawyer
Now I’m buying to myself.
“I feel so much more confident and empowered. I realize I have so much more to offer. I used to think that my employer controlled my career. It was safe there, and I had a lot of excuses not to develop my career, get new experiences, and new perspectives. I just bought into my employer’s party line. Now I’m buying to myself.”

I’ve had more recruiters looking at me on LinkedIn
“I initially thought I wouldn’t have anything to tell an employer, like I had nothing to offer. Now, I know this is a good exercise in general. The very first time we talked, you talked to me about paying more attention to the skills I’m gaining and not just the tasks. I had a really good call with a Major, Lindsey and Africa recruiter yesterday who found me in LinkedIn. Since I’ve been working with you, I’ve had more recruiters looking at me on LinkedIn than I ever had.”
