Testimonials
already have a job interview scheduled
“The résumé and cover letter are excellent, Shauna. It's like you clear out all the noise, making everything concise and impactful. I used the résumé last week and already have a job interview scheduled! I have been referring everyone to you.”
– Fortune 500 commercial contract lawyer
your questions have been invaluable
“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.”
– General counsel of $450 million regional company
you make me actually think about what I do
“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.”

the best-written résumé they've ever seen
“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!”

job interview in one week
