“Thank you again for spending so many hours to make me feel comfortable for a simple [but critical networking] phone call. I know you probably think it’s ridiculous — after all, I have been speaking with people for many years — but I felt so much more confident going into this discussion than I would have without your expertise. So, thank you very much!”

- Hedge fund GC
Read More“It would have taken me 8 hours to do the work you did in 90 minutes, and mine wouldn't have been half as good.”

Have a great weekend.”
- Senior tech lawyer applying for first GC role
Read More“I love words; I’ve always loved words. And I love your focus on every single word in the résumé to make sure it has meaning. I also love how hard you’ve challenged my memory to be really specific about everything I’ve done in my career.”

- General counsel of national company
Read More“This was really helpful. You’ve given me a lot of homework to help me identify where I want to go next.. You’ve also given me some new ideas that I hadn’t thought about.”
- Former CLO of $11.5 billion company
Read More“This is really helpful for me. I haven’t thought about the work I’ve done this perspective, with the specific purpose of thinking who my potential employers are and what I want to convey to them. And also what a job interview might look like, and how I can use the résumé to lead the interview where I want. This is a very useful exercise.”
- Former AmLaw 100 partner and head of practice group
Read More“You’ve done a beautiful job. My reaction was that it was really great. To be honest, I was daunted with the idea of doing a résumé because I haven’t done one in so long. I’ve been practicing law for more than 25 years in lots of different jobs and I struggled with even how to organize it. This is a really smart way to organize my work. I like it. I like the structure and the language. It’s not overwrought, like some one trying to use a thesaurus. This is spectacular. I really do mean it.”
- Fortune 20 CLO
Read More“I lose perspective. It’s not until we had this discussion that I’ve realized what my résumé’s missing. It’s been so beneficial to hear your questions and see how you’re connecting my answers into my résumé. It all makes a lot of sense. Just watching do this makes me wonder what the heck I was thinking before.”

- Former AmLaw 100 equity partner
Read More“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.”
