it's just the framework I needed

- Executive attorney
I feel like we've done a really nice job
“When I was filling out the LinkedIn Questionnaire, I had time to think about my primary career themes at a 30,000-foot level. When I cross-referenced the résumé, I was surprised to see that Jared and I had already covered them. I feel like we've done a really nice job.”

– One of three GCs for a Fortune 100 company
my biggest a-ha moment from your JDA was realizing many of my skills are also sought in a Chief Risk Officer role
“Besides realizing that I really like being a GC, my biggest a-ha moment from Jared's JDA was realizing many of my skills are also sought in a Chief Risk Officer role - and that companies are starting to merge those roles together. Big picture, that means I can really lean into my risk management experience as a GC.”
– GC for a multibillion-dollar private sector company
his interpretation of my JDAs is helping me see that *we can write and plan a way to get there*
“One of the biggest a-ha moments was that if I were to wave a magic wand and create my perfect role, it would blend Role X with Role Y. Jared's JDA is letting me see that that's actually an emerging role, and his interpretation of my JDAs is helping me see that *we can write and plan a way to get there*.”

– Healthcare GC
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.”
