you make people listen differently
“This has been an interesting exercise because you make people listen differently. More sensitively to the nuances of language.“
- Global investment bank executive
like a lethal weapon
“I need to thank you. I would not in a million years think this strategically about my LinkedIn profile. I was just going through the motions. I didn’t understand it as real tool to market my brand. Now I can wield LinkedIn like a lethal weapon. I worked on it all weekend, analyzing every little piece of information you gave me. This has opened up a different ball game for me. You have really opened up my mind. I was in awe.”
- Board adviser and senior corporate generalist returning to Fortune 100 roles
no one I would trust
“Other than you and my sisters, I haven’t told anyone these things. I don’t think it’s safe to talk to some of my friends even about these things. There’s no one I would trust to talk about it with.”
- Senior IP lawyer
accomplishments instead of tasks
“I like the approach and the look of the résumé and how it really highlights my accomplishments instead of tasks. It’s made if me really re-think my career from task after the next.”
- Fortune 100 in-house commercial transactions attorney
I felt so much more confident
“Thank you again for spending so many hours to make me feel comfortable for a simple [but critical networking] phone call. I know you probably think it’s ridiculous — after all, I have been speaking with people for many years — but I felt so much more confident going into this discussion than I would have without your expertise. So, thank you very much!”

my dream job
“I am extremely excited to have another interview coming up for my dream job (they reached out to me again after 8 months of an initial ;no’ :) I followed your advice and stayed in touch with the company, even after they rejected me the first time. I feel so lucky to have a second chance! They are skipping me ahead in the process this time. I’m meeting directly with the decision-maker.”
- Senior compliance lawyer
Priceless :)
“Hi Shauna, Just heads up that I had THE call with GC, it went amazing! Instant rapport and it felt genuinely warm. She said she will forward my résumé this morning to head of HR Legal and that she thought I should be in again. :) As for me, I felt great.... Thanks so so much for your help! Priceless :)”

not half as good
“It would have taken me 8 hours to do the work you did in 90 minutes, and mine wouldn't have been half as good.”
- DGC / regional GC
I’ve had a career coach before
"I’ve had a career coach before and he went through my résumé. But he didn’t do what you’re doing and he didn’t tell me what you’re saying. The work you’re doing is fantastic. I really like it, I feel like it tells a story.”
- In-house counsel
very receptive to questions
“Overall, the résumé reads really strong. I’m really, really happy with it. You’re very receptive to questions and you make me feel really comfortable about talking through all the decision-making and the language.”
- Chief Compliance Officer candidate
job interview in one week
“That was fast! It’s all happening a lot more quickly than I thought it would! I didn’t feel comfortable with the résumé the other professional résumé writer did. But just a week after we finished the new résumé, I’ve already set up interview for an AGC role in DC.”
