job interview
“I'm being highly selective in the pursuit of new employment [and] last week had a second-round in-person interview with a law firm that I’m highly interested in joining... I strongly believe that getting invited to interview with the firm came as a direct result of Shauna’s help in bolstering my résumé, and so I am very thankful, and hopeful that I’ll make a full transition in the near future.”

New job
“I am happy to report that I started a new job at precisely the type of firm I was hoping to join. I started in March.

impactful
“Thank you, Shauna! This is absolutely a 100% transformation and I am so impressed. Thank you so much for your patience, insights, guidance and terrific writing. I really like the tone you’re using and the structure. I’ve already showed the draft to several people and they were like ‘wow, this is so much more comprehensive’ and it establishes my early career foundation. I don’t think you even understand how impactful this work has been for me. I’ve really been forced to think about my work differently.”
- Fortune 500 Chief Compliance Officer candidate
every word
“I love words; I’ve always loved words. And I love your focus on every single word in the résumé to make sure it has meaning. I also love how hard you’ve challenged my memory to be really specific about everything I’ve done in my career.”
- DGC and regional GC of global consulting firm
a formal interview with 24 hours
“Thank you, Shauna! You are a miracle-worker. I’ve already used the draft version of the résumé this week and snagged an interview for an AGC role in Washington, DC. I had seen the posting for about a week, but I emailed the GC directly. We had a call the same day and he asked me to submit my materials, and I got a formal interview with 24 hours. I feel so much more comfortable with this format than the one the previous résumé writer I hired did. Much more comfortable and confident that it’s representative of what I’ve done without overselling or underselling. I cannot wait to use final résumé!”

I just over-complicate things
“I realize that I just over-complicate things when I’m writing my résumé. This is blowing my mind. I’m finally really excited about my résumé. It’s like magic how it’s turned into something attractive and readable rather than a monotonous list of bullet points.”
- Senior associate in BigLaw
you’re really good
“Shauna, you’re really good. I’m sorry to interrupt, but I just had to say that!”
- DGC in publicly traded company
moving away from bitterness
“Now that I’m doing this [coaching and résumé writing], I’m moving away from bitterness. I want to stay with the firm and build a career trajectory and I’m glad to see that I’m not pigeon-holed into litigation because now I can see how that would help in a company. This [résumé] looks more like I’ve built some knowledge in a specific area over the last five years. I don’t want to throw away everything!”
