Testimonials
I understand
“Very helpful. I understand how I really need to prepare for the questions interviewers might have and to actually research specific employers.”
- Junior attorney preparing for interviews
a $25,000 raise
“I [initially] landed at a six-attorney firm with a great culture and adequate salary [but] I just recently received another offer that gives me a $25k raise in salary and extraordinary benefits.”
- Midlevel attorney
fabulous experience
“Thank you for being so good at what you do. This has been a fabulous experience.”
- Director of Legal Operations
valuable already
“This coaching has been valuable already. You broke things down into more manageable phases, which will help me spring out of my paralysis. And you picked up on a lot of things I *wasn’t* saying too.”
- BigLaw associate exploring other career paths
fabulous work
“I like the structure of the résumé a lot. Watching you do this… it seems so completely intuitive. And yet I can’t do it on my own. This has been fabulous work on the résumé. And the cover letter is so much stronger.”
- General counsel
definitely something I can do
“The way that you’re explaining reaching out and networking is definitely something I can do. Thank you so much. This has been really helpful.”
- Junior litigator
preparing for interviews
“You’re making me realize that I really need to refresh my memory before I go into interviews.”
- Junior attorney
a great use of time
“This was amazing and I really appreciated you sharing your insights. I needed an independent, neutral person to help me think through these issues. You clicked on some things that I clearly need to spend more time thinking on. This was a great use of time.”
- Chief IP Counsel positioning for general counsel roles
I tripled my salary!
“I am happy to report I made the lateral move from a seven-lawyer firm to a BigLaw firm with over 600 lawyers. I also tripled my salary! In the process of securing my new role, I also had two other interviews at Am Law 200 firms. I’m sure the résumé played a role because I went from no interviews to three almost immediately after meeting with Shauna. Tell Shauna I said thanks and I’ll refer her to anyone who asks!”
- Junior lawyer breaking into BigLaw
I love the job
“Hi Shauna, I wanted to let you know that I started at [hotel and resort company] at the end of [month] and I love the job. Working with you on my résumé was extremely helpful, and I’ve recommended you to several of my friends, and even to my husband. Thank you.”
- Corporate generalist returning to industry and full-time work after 10+ years
worth every penny
“Thank you so much for your help. I’ve told everyone that it’s worth every penny.”
- Tech general counsel
Now I feel great.
“This is an outstanding service you’re providing people. I really feel like I had hit a wall in my job search. A family friend who is a Silicon Valley GC said my résumé didn’t show me as a lawyer; it looked like an intern’s résumé. Now I feel great. I really like how it’s reorganized and focused.”
- Junior attorney looking for in-house roles
I agree wholeheartedly!
“I agree with all your comments wholeheartedly!”
- In-house counsel transitioning to university setting
really impressive
“Hi Shauna, This is really impressive work!”

I’m excited
“This résumé and this experience are helping to propel me forward. I’ve had to get over some of my hangups that lawyers are just supposed to put their heads down and work. I’m changing how I think about myself so that I’m now thinking and talking about my value and the impact that I’ve had. The résumé was excellent and I’m excited.”
