– Legal Strategist & Financial Markets Counsel
Read More“Shauna, I wanted to update you on my job search following your (fantastic) work on my résumé and LinkedIn profile optimization. I have been searching for a little over 3 months using these materials, and have gotten a slew of interviews — law firm, in-house, DOJ, SEC — you name it. It took some time for the interviews to convert into offers, I think because of the number and quality of candidates on the market right now, combined with a delay in the process for assessing and hiring candidates given to remote work and general business uncertainty. However, my materials got my foot in the door nearly everywhere that I applied, and networked. The résumé alone also led to interviews at a couple places solely via submission in the online ATS, without any networking. I now have two offers... Both are great opportunities to grow my career... Thank you again for your incredible work; I feel so fortunate that I landed with you when I was searching for legal résumé writers. You laid the groundwork for me to succeed in an incredibly difficult job market.”

– Director, Legal Officer & Corporate Counsel
Read More“I had tried several times to interview with this company before, but never got a response—until I sent the résumé and cover letter you did. Then I got immediate positive feedback. I've had two recruiter interviews, and 4 interviews over the past week—including with a software company and as a general counsel for a small start-up. And this whole exercise has forced me to take a good hard look at what I've done and what I want. Thank you Shauna!”
