“Shauna, your questions have been invaluable and all of your comments about my original résumé are spot-on. I think you caught me a little flat-footed in our first conversation, which is fine :) So I got my feet knocked out from under me. Frankly, I'm embarrassed about the old résumé and I realize how little prepared I was to be interviewed on it. But I would rather flounder with you than do it in a job interview. I'm much more confident now.”

“Shauna, I exchanged emails with you several years ago, but eventually went with someone else. I should have gone with you then. I like that you make me actually think about what I do, instead of me just answering on auto-pilot, and that you really challenge me to remember details. I'm much happier with this new résumé. The old one was a result of a lot of bad advice.”
“Hi Jared, I recently joined an IoT imaging company and want to introduce you to our CEO. I told him about your LinkedIn prowess and he's interested in working with you on his LinkedIn for Business presence.”
“The résumé is now streamlined and straightforward. It’s no longer salesy like the other résumé writer made it. This is exactly what I wanted. It speaks much better to a lawyer audience. Thanks a million for your guidance, Shauna!”
“When we were doing the original résumé, my dad was like, 'Why are we paying to have someone do your résumé?' And then he saw it, and was like, 'Oh. That's why.' I've had more than 20 people tell me this is the best-written résumé they've ever seen. Thank you, Shauna!”
“I like the approach and the look of the résumé and how it really highlights my accomplishments instead of tasks. It’s made if me really re-think my career from task after the next.”
“Hi Shauna, Just heads up that I had THE call with GC, it went amazing! Instant rapport and it felt genuinely warm. She said she will forward my résumé this morning to head of HR Legal and that she thought I should be in again. :) As for me, I felt great.... Thanks so so much for your help! Priceless :)”
"I appreciate the candor. I’ve been sending résumés out for weeks without the response I’ve wanted, and I’d realized that I’ve just been missing something. But I didn’t understand what that something was. Thanks for your time today.”
“Overall, the résumé reads really strong. I’m really, really happy with it. You’re very receptive to questions and you make me feel really comfortable about talking through all the decision-making and the language.”
“That was fast! It’s all happening a lot more quickly than I thought it would! I didn’t feel comfortable with the résumé the other professional résumé writer did. But just a week after we finished the new résumé, I’ve already set up interview for an AGC role in DC.”
