perspective
“I lose perspective. It’s not until we had this discussion that I’ve realized what my résumé’s missing. It’s been so beneficial to hear your questions and see how you’re connecting my answers into my résumé. It all makes a lot of sense. Just watching do this makes me wonder what the heck I was thinking before.”

I see the limitations in my own thought

an absolute pleasure
“I’ve never worked with a professional résumé writer. I’ve tried to talk to recruiters about my résumé because I know it needs a lot of work. It’s just the same thing I’ve been doing since law school. You’ve hit the nail on the head with your suggestions and I’m feeling better with my résumé just watching you restate things. This is the whole reason I reached out to you. I needed something more compelling and punchy. And I really benefit from hearing the perspective an expert. Thanks so much, Shauna! It was an absolute pleasure working with you.”

I felt prepared
“It’s good. It’s intense. It’s everything I thought it would be and more. I really like interacting with the board and it’s a huge portion of my job. I learn something new everyday. I did interview with the executive team and have to be approved by the board and the GC of the majority stockholder, but I felt prepared for the whole process.”
