Testimonials
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
I got this job partly because of you.
“Thank you for all your help with the résumé and everything. Without you I wouldn't know any of this stuff. I mean I know I got this job partly because of you.”
- Director of Government Affairs for association
a very valuable tip
“You once told me to always reach out to directly to the GC, like through LinkedIn, when I see a job that interested me. That was a very valuable tip. Some told me I was the only candidate to ever do that. And they love all the details included in the résumé. I've gotten very positive feedback.”
- Primary in-house counsel for $7 billion business
I love the new résumé!
“I love the new résumé! My work is very technical and people have told me in the past they didn’t understand my résumé at all. What I like about this process is that you’re helping me put my work into terms that other people understand.”
- Foreign-trained business lawyer
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.'“

In a better position
“This was definitely helpful, Julie. I am definitely in a much better position with my résumé and cover letter than I was before our session.”
- Recent graduate looking for first attorney position
getting unstuck
“Jared, this was super helpful. You know how it is when you know your résumé isn’t quite right but don’t know how to get yourself unstuck. I didn’t know what to expect when I signed up, but you’ve given me so many good ideas. I'm going to run off and do as much as I can on my own ... then I might be back for another session! You also might get a call from a colleague who was wondering how this would go."
- Senior in-house counsel for a publicly-traded energy 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.”

no other competitor doing what you guys are doing
“Just so you know, Jared, I thought your thinking was great. The starter skeleton was a really good roadmap for us [to write the résumé]. I can tell you’ve done this many times before. There’s no other competitor doing what you guys are doing. This is incredible. Now I understand why this takes time. You’re really trying to crush the story. As you say, it’s important for the company, but also me. The GC role is pretty damned important. This was a reality check [and] I’m so impressed with the product.”

insightful and educational
“This has been so insightful and educational. I appreciate it. I wish people taught this in school or even just along the way. But no one ever tells you all this stuff.”
- Senior M&A attorney at S&P 500 Component
offer and acceptance
