Testimonials
I didn't realize how complex résumé writing could be
“Jared, I didn't realize how complex résumé writing could be, and how much went into it. I slapped together a résumé, sent it to you at the beginning of our working relationship, and thought it was great. I was so naïve.”
– SVP, GC and Corporate Secretary for a Fortune 100 retailer
your JDA has helped me realize so much
“Jared's JDA has helped me realize so much. I wouldn't have realized how important crisis and reputation management is as a GC, and how valuable that can be going forward. I just take it for granted.”
– GC and Corporate Secretary for a security consulting, training, and equipment company
the JDA gave me a better way to participate in broader conversations
“Jared's Job Description Analysis (JDA) was really interesting in terms of learning what other GC roles are like. There were the obvious skills that every GC should have as a lawyer. But companies want more than that. The JDA gave me a better way to participate in broader conversations.”
– SVP, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary for a government contractor
Who knew there were so many things you could do with branding your career?
“I'm fascinated by how you work, Jared. Who knew there were so many things you could do with branding your career? I never would have thought about identifying my own deal-breakers when it comes to a new company. I need to have a seat at the strategy table, and if they don't need that in a candidate, then they need a different person.”
