grabs the reader
“I love the very first sentence of my LinkedIn profile summary. It just really grabs the reader. There are some really powerful ideas and language in there. I’ve been so anti-LinkedIn, and I appreciate you taking into account my desire for privacy. You clearly put a lot of thought into it. I’d had a bunch of questions, but you’ve addressed all of them. And you’ve really clarified my thinking. Your instructions for inputting the profile were straight-forward and your LinkedIn book was very helpful. Thank you for dragging me into the 21st century!”

It’s all making me feel better about my ability to generate business. I’m excited.”

Career Services told me there was nothing I could do
“This much a better plan than what I had before! When I talked to Career Services, they basically told me there was nothing I could do to look for a job while I wait for the bar exam results. But you’ve already outlined a lot of logical things I could be doing to be a better candidate and look for a job. And that makes so much more sense to me, because doing nothing but sitting around makes *no* sense.”

LinkedIn works!

"I hadn’t appreciated how important the older parts of my career might be on my résumé. I feel very good with where we’re headed. I like the idea of talking at a higher level about more. I really really think it’s terrific. It’s a huge change. A major surgery—which is clearly what’s required. This has been really eye-opening, very helpful, and much, much needed."
