Testimonials
a résumé whisperer
“Shauna, you're a résumé whisperer. It's like a therapy for both me and my résumé!”
– Litigation management attorney
it's so good, you need this
“This is so worth it, Jared! I've been telling people, "It's so good, you need this. Also, don't steal my stuff!"”
– In-house litigation counsel for a Top 5 bank
I've learned a ton
“Thank you, Jared, I've really been enjoying this process. I've learned a ton from you that I couldn't have ever expected.”
– Senior IP Associate for an Am Law 200 law firm
helping me tell my story in a way that is really getting me noticed
“Hi Jared, I've really been hitting the job search hard these last few weeks. I wanted to share a really cool moment with you. I sent my résumé to a long-time biotech exec who works heavily with a couple really great VC firms. He was impressed with the résumé and sent it along to a partner at one of those firms. The partner was immediately impressed and said he could use me right away with a company where he recently replaced the management team. We'll see where it goes but I feel like getting over the hurdle of a résumé was a huge step in the right direction. Not to mention these guys work with some really great lawyers. Thanks for helping me tell my story in a way that is really getting me noticed! (I'm also excited for my husband to work with you!)”
– General Counsel of an immunotherapy biotech company
I learn so much every time
“This is my third hour working with Jared and I learn so much every time; not only about myself, but about myself as a lawyer in business. Thank you so much. I really enjoy every minute.”
– Senior IP Associate for an Am Law 200 law firm
there's a lot of discernment here
“When we go away between sessions, Jared, it causes me to think. There's a lot of discernment here, both in terms of what I can do but also what I might be able to do. Things I'd have never thought about on my own.”
– IP commercialization strategist and corporate advisor
I foolishly waited to do this
“The JDA is enlightening, Jared. I foolishly waited to do this and now I'm realizing, wow, there's a lot of work in just finding the appropriate job description and roles. It's not like there's fifty of these jobs floating around just because I'm ready to make a move.”
– Am Law 200 partner specializing in policy and regulatory advising, commercial transactions, and disputes
Jared's JDA is super
“Jared's JDA is super. Working with him, I can see why the process makes sense. A typical person says, ‘Let me go throw some stuff on paper,’ but this helps a person think about where their skill set and interests are a fit. Or maybe not a fit.”
– Technology partner for an Am Law 200 law firm
this whole process has been cathartic
“I would have never come up with what Jared did. This whole process has been cathartic, revealing, and healing; even therapeutic.”
– Litigator and professional staff for the U.S. Congress
excited about the future now
“This makes me think differently about myself, Jared; I'm really surprised and excited about the future now.”
– Head of patents for a publicly traded medical device innovator
I'm glad I did this
