Testimonials
I got this job partly because of you.
“Thank you for all your help with the résumé and everything. Without you I wouldn't know any of this stuff. I mean I know I got this job partly because of you.”
- Director of Government Affairs for association
a very valuable tip
“You once told me to always reach out to directly to the GC, like through LinkedIn, when I see a job that interested me. That was a very valuable tip. Some told me I was the only candidate to ever do that. And they love all the details included in the résumé. I've gotten very positive feedback.”
- Primary in-house counsel for $7 billion business
I love the new résumé!
“I love the new résumé! My work is very technical and people have told me in the past they didn’t understand my résumé at all. What I like about this process is that you’re helping me put my work into terms that other people understand.”
- Foreign-trained business lawyer
sending referrals
“Hi Jared. Thanks for the session last week. I thought it was very helpful and have already sent another potential client your way.'“
- General counsel, chief compliance officer, and corporate secretary for a publicly traded medical device company
In a better position

getting unstuck
“Jared, this was super helpful. You know how it is when you know your résumé isn’t quite right but don’t know how to get yourself unstuck. I didn’t know what to expect when I signed up, but you’ve given me so many good ideas. I'm going to run off and do as much as I can on my own ... then I might be back for another session! You also might get a call from a colleague who was wondering how this would go."
- Senior in-house counsel for a publicly-traded energy company
boring and jargon-y
“My résumé has been boring. There were a lot of jargon-y words that don't speak to who I am, but you've been pulling information out of me really easily. And, oh my gosh, just made a yeoman's improvement in just an hour and half of work.”

no other competitor doing what you guys are doing
“Just so you know, Jared, I thought your thinking was great. The starter skeleton was a really good roadmap for us [to write the résumé]. I can tell you’ve done this many times before. There’s no other competitor doing what you guys are doing. This is incredible. Now I understand why this takes time. You’re really trying to crush the story. As you say, it’s important for the company, but also me. The GC role is pretty damned important. This was a reality check [and] I’m so impressed with the product.”

insightful and educational
“This has been so insightful and educational. I appreciate it. I wish people taught this in school or even just along the way. But no one ever tells you all this stuff.”
- Senior M&A attorney at S&P 500 Component
offer and acceptance
“Thanks so much for all your help, Jared. The company I interviewed at two weeks ago, gave me an offer and I just accepted after some salary negotiation.”

learned a lot

too close to it
“This is just so much better. It’s so hard to do on your own and I think I was just too close to it. “
- Former trial attorney
I really wish I had done this five years ago
“You’re very creative. I think the résumé’s so goooooood. I really wish I had done this five years ago, because I didn’t even realize how much I’ve done. Looking at the version we started working on last night, I see how old and boring my résumé was.”
- Assistant Attorney General
It looks amazing
"Thank you so much, Julie. This has really been fantastic. My résumé looks amazing!”
