“One purpose of this conversation is to benchmark, to understand how my résumé compares to others in a similar situation. And you’re giving me a lot of that. Not only is what you’re saying make sense, but I know it all too well. This has been very helpful.”

- AGC for one of the world's largest nonprofit foundations
Read More“I read through the résumé we worked on and I’m really pleased with it. I’ve got to say, it just has a completely different feel to it than my original. It’s more human. I really like the framing of each job. It’s fantastic. And just really tells a story where my old résumé didn’t. I’m not used to thinking about accomplishments instead of tasks. In some ways, it’s very obvious, but there’s a subtlety to what you do that’s very elegant. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m happy. I’ve enjoyed our conversations—not only because they've been super productive and helpful—but also because like talking to you. It’s been a shot of confidence at time when work has been depressing.”

Read More“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!"
