Testimonials
this résumé looks awesome
“This résumé looks awesome, Julie! I knew I needed help, but I didn't know how much I needed help. This looks so much better than what I started with, and I feel really great about it.”

worth every penny

struck a very good balance
“I really like the LinkedIn summary you wrote, Shauna. I thought you struck a very good balance when including information about more sensitive matters. Everything you do is great.”
– Former AmLaw 100 equity partner and national practice group chair
your questions have been invaluable
“Shauna, your questions have been invaluable and all of your comments about my original résumé are spot-on. I think you caught me a little flat-footed in our first conversation, which is fine :) So I got my feet knocked out from under me. Frankly, I'm embarrassed about the old résumé and I realize how little prepared I was to be interviewed on it. But I would rather flounder with you than do it in a job interview. I'm much more confident now.”
– General counsel of $450 million regional company
you make me actually think about what I do
“Shauna, I exchanged emails with you several years ago, but eventually went with someone else. I should have gone with you then. I like that you make me actually think about what I do, instead of me just answering on auto-pilot, and that you really challenge me to remember details. I'm much happier with this new résumé. The old one was a result of a lot of bad advice.”

within my comfort zone
“Everything you’ve told me has been so helpful, so much better than my gut reactions and yet well within my comfort zone. I hope you don’t think it’s silly, but I could talk to you for hours.”
- Law firm partner exploring GC roles
interview and offer
“Julie, I made changes to the résumé based on our session. I got a lot more responses than I did with my previous résumé. Before I got hardly any looks and constantly got rejections, but now people are looking at it 2 and 3 times. I got an interview and an offer with a law firm. Thank you so much for the work that you previously did on it, it really helped! It is definitely a huge step in the right direction.”

exactly what I wanted

the best-written résumé they've ever seen
“When we were doing the original résumé, my dad was like, 'Why are we paying to have someone do your résumé?' And then he saw it, and was like, 'Oh. That's why.' I've had more than 20 people tell me this is the best-written résumé they've ever seen. Thank you, Shauna!”
