I found my forever job

Two year update: “Fully employed and more importantly fully happy with my position and career. I am now the Assistant Chief Counsel for [healthcare group] at the [state health and human services agency]. Much of my ability to submit a competitive application for this position I owe to Bryce Legal for the assistance with and refreshment of my CV and approach to marketing my training and experience. I found my ‘forever job,’ and I thank you all for it. Thanks again.”

damn, that's me

“I feel like all these years, I’ve been apologetic for nothing. I was so self-conscious about my experience because I was so focused on all the things I haven’t done, but now I realize I actually *have* done a lot. This has been an amazing process. Before, I wouldn’t have hired me. Now, the world and my work became alive again in my head. As I saw the new résumé, I was like “damn, that's me.’”

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

“It’s funny to watch your thought process. I’m realizing that I just sucked the life out of my résumé. The more we talk, the more I see the limitations in my own thought in how to market and present my work and I’m impressed with how succinct the new résumé is. This has been immensely valuable.”

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.”
