“I love where the résumé’s going. I had thought I was doing a really good job with my résumé, but this has been really eye-opening about how you phrase things, being concise, getting to the point, and using terms that are easy to understand. There is clearly an art to this and you are really good at it. This whole thing has been such a huge confidence boost. I have been telling everyone they should do this.”

Read More"I sent the beta draft of the résumé to a headhunter and she was so impressed with the difference compared to the earlier version. Even though it’s not the finished product, the recruiter wants to send the résumé over to a pharmaceutical company for a DPO [data privacy officer] role right away. In the past, recruiters have tried to steer me to low-end jobs, like temp placement and e-discovery.”

- General counsel of national company
Read More“Hello Shauna, I’m writing to let you know that I received an offer Friday to join a growing company as their first in-house attorney. I will be working to bring their outside counsel work in-house and provide support for the organization’s acquisition strategy. THANK YOU so much for the coaching and helping me get my résumé together. I was able to update my LinkedIn profile based on the edits from the résumé, and that is how the CEO of the company found me. Thanks again!”

Read More“This has been the perfect time to start this process. It’s helped me clarify what my long-term goals should be, and I didn’t realize there was such a big gulf between what I was trying to convey to employers and what my résumé was actually conveying. When I look at my original compared to the work we’ve been doing, I mean it looks like they’re two different people. No wonder recruiters were having a hard time understanding what I do.”

- Senior commercial transactions in-house counsel at FTSE 100
Read More“My résumé clearly needed a revamp to present me as a GC-ready candidate. The whole purpose of this session has been to try something new since what I was doing was clearly not working. I’m loving this new version; this is great. I couldn’t have put this together even if I tried.”

- College sports compliance and investigations attorney
Read More“This is really helpful for me. I haven’t thought about the work I’ve done this perspective, with the specific purpose of thinking who my potential employers are and what I want to convey to them. And also what a job interview might look like, and how I can use the résumé to lead the interview where I want. This is a very useful exercise.”
- Former AmLaw 100 partner and head of practice group
Read More“You’ve done a beautiful job. My reaction was that it was really great. To be honest, I was daunted with the idea of doing a résumé because I haven’t done one in so long. I’ve been practicing law for more than 25 years in lots of different jobs and I struggled with even how to organize it. This is a really smart way to organize my work. I like it. I like the structure and the language. It’s not overwrought, like some one trying to use a thesaurus. This is spectacular. I really do mean it.”

- Law firm partner transitioned to government
Read More“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.’”
