Testimonials
a great perspective and tutorial
“I’ve only done hiring in law firms, and I’ve never thought about the things you’re talking about. This is been a great perspective and tutorial on how companies hire GCs.”
- Former AmLaw 100 equity partner
a word-for-word script
“I did everything you told me to do, said everything you told me to say. It was almost like you gave a word-for-word script. And [former federal agency Commissioner] responded exactly the way you predicted. I wish could have recorded it for you! I’m so pleased at how the conversation went and laid the groundwork for my job search.”
- Law firm partner exploring GC roles
an absolute pleasure
“I’ve never worked with a professional résumé writer. I’ve tried to talk to recruiters about my résumé because I know it needs a lot of work. It’s just the same thing I’ve been doing since law school. You’ve hit the nail on the head with your suggestions and I’m feeling better with my résumé just watching you restate things. This is the whole reason I reached out to you. I needed something more compelling and punchy. And I really benefit from hearing the perspective an expert. Thanks so much, Shauna! It was an absolute pleasure working with you.”
- General counsel and former AmLaw 100 lawyer
an investment and a pleasure
“I consider every last penny I’ve spent with you to be an investment. This is the first time in my career that I’ve been so proactive in my decision-making. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with you, and I’ve been sharing your information with a lot of legal recruiters in my area.”
- General counsel of PE-held industry leader
I felt prepared
“It’s good. It’s intense. It’s everything I thought it would be and more. I really like interacting with the board and it’s a huge portion of my job. I learn something new everyday. I did interview with the executive team and have to be approved by the board and the GC of the majority stockholder, but I felt prepared for the whole process.”
- Senior corporate generalist on landing first role as GC in a public company
benchmark
“One purpose of this conversation is to benchmark, to understand how my résumé compares to others in a similar situation. And you’re giving me a lot of that. Not only is what you’re saying make sense, but I know it all too well. This has been very helpful.”
- Fortune 25 business unit GC
I got the job
“I got the job at [trade association] for which we did the cover letter about 6 weeks ago.”
- Financial services executive
I will definitely be recommending you
“Thank you so much. I will definitely be recommending you to my friends, Shauna.”
- General Counsel
totally lost about marketing myself
“That was a lot to take in, Jared, but it has been extremely helpful and yours your points on how to look for a job [for someone in my senior position] is spot on. Last time I looked for a job, LinkedIn barely existed. I’m good at personal relationships, but I’m totally lost about marketing myself. I like the idea of condensing my story under categorized bullet points; getting as specific as I need to be by including some wins, without having to provide a laundry list. I’'ll be in touch again after I’ve locked myself in a room and done a couple of JDAs!"
- EVP, Chief Counsel & Director of Litigation
I’m very happy
“I’m very happy. Thank you so much for your time and effort. I really appreciate everything you’ve done. I hope we can work together again sometime.”
- FinTech GC./ COO
sending referrals
“Hi Jared. Thanks for the session last week. I thought it was very helpful and have already sent another potential client your way.'“
- General counsel, chief compliance officer, and corporate secretary for a publicly traded medical device company
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.”
- AmLaw 100 partner
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.”
- Co-founder and chief strategy officer of a billion-dollar global medical device company
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.”
