“I really appreciate your input. We've only been talking 10 minutes and you’ve already re-oriented how I think about my résumé. This is such a re-orientation on how tell my story. I feel very liberated. Everyone who has looked at my résumé has locked me into this format, but that hasn’t worked for me. Nothing is more painful than steady rejections. I really like what you're doing. You’ve burned through the log jam of frustration. This has been great.”

“Shauna,

I wanted you to know that I have accepted a position with [healthcare company] as Chief Administrative Officer, effective as of [date]… I am very excited about this position for the range of responsibilities that I will have. Reporting to me will be the [heads of 5+ cross-disciplinary] functions [including legal and compliance]. I was really not interested in a role that would have me limited to legal only.

[And] certainly you are correct about the length of time for job seeking for someone at my level.

I wanted you to know that I highly valued the work that we did together. When I called you, I had a terrible résumé and almost no real job-seeking experience. As I said, for 27 years, I had never had to look for a job (except out of law school)...

Anyway, my point is that I think you provide a rare and valuable service for high level legal professionals. I would certainly be happy to provide a testimonial or any other support I can offer. Thanks again.”

- Former DGC in Fortune 5 company

​"I hadn’t appreciated how important the older parts of my career might be on my résumé. I feel very good with where we’re headed. I like the idea of talking at a higher level about more.
