Testimonials
boring and jargon-y
“My résumé has been boring. There were a lot of jargon-y words that don't speak to who I am, but you've been pulling information out of me really easily. And, oh my gosh, just made a yeoman's improvement in just an hour and half of work.”

really sold me
“Jared, I had an idea about who you were from [a past Bryce Legal client], who just got a new job. He’s taking more of a start-up GC and chief strategy officer role for an interesting technology that doesn’t require him to relocate. He’ll have a good stake of equity. That’s why I wanted to discuss working with you. What I didn’t expect was how quickly you would look at my story and build reason around it. From the angel-funded early days to the private equity phase to the public company phase and finally the acquisition. I see it as one big slog, but having those boundaries around which to tell this story really sold me on how you think.”

over the years
“I just want to thank you for all the support you’ve given me over the years.”
- Financial services and FinTech GC
really educational
“I showed the résumé to my husband—who is also a lawyer—and he loved it. This whole process has been really educational. I’ve really hated working on my own résumé, but doing it this way is so much more interesting and fun.“
- General counsel in PE-owned company
perspective
“I really appreciate talking to you and getting your perspective.”
- Financial services / FinTech GC
great feedback from recruiters

- General Counsel
Kudos to you.
“You do good work. Kudos to you. As a trial lawyer, I know you’ve got to catch people’s attention. And you did that. You do good work, Shauna, and I appreciate it.”
- General counsel at $14+ billion company
the story I've always wanted to tell
“I’m seeing how you’re connecting the dots in my career. This is the story that I’ve always wanted to be able to tell, but couldn’t figure out how. This has been very, very helpful.”
- General counsel
I love the résumé
“I love the résumé. It’s all great. You just have a much better idea of what’s important to employers than I do. My husband—he’s a lawyer also—could use your services too.”
- General Counsel
my LinkedIn profile was unreadable
“I was speaking with a recruiter earlier this week and he told me my LinkedIn profile was unreadable. He made the exact same criticisms you made.”
- GC for PE-owned company
the thought process behind the recommendations
“I read the LinkedIn book—which was very good—cover-to-cover yesterday. I don’t do much social media, so reading the book before the profile optimization was really helpful to understand the thought process behind the recommendations.”
- GC of US Division of multinational public company
résumé gobbledygook
“Now that I’m looking at the work the previous résumé writer did more carefully, it’s almost like the wording could apply to anyone. It’s just résumé gobbledygook.”
- Law firm partner transitioning to GC roles
I’m very happy
“I’m very happy I found you. You make perfect sense. And I can definitely do this.”
- General Counsel looking at long-term strategic career planning, including exploration of options
Reframed thinking in 15 minutes
“I really really appreciate this. I told the retained recruiter that you, in the first 15 minutes, helped me reframe how I think about the résumé.”

put their money where their mouth is
“I’ve learned a lot here. This is really interesting for me on many levels. And I like your model; I probably talked to 20 résumé writers and your model is the most collaborative. It also requires to *you* to be on—and to produce and produce and produce—every minute of our call. I don’t think most people can do that, and I don’t think many people put their money where their mouth is like you do.”
- Former GC of global brand management company
I have really seen the value
“I’m way further along than I was a couple of months ago. And your help has been instrumental in that. For many years, I felt like I was at the 5-yard line. And now I’ve caught the kick-off and ran it back 40 yards. I’m positioned to participate in the job market. Working with you has been super helpful for me. I have a lot to work with now, and I’ve been forced to do a lot of thinking. I have really seen the value.”
