I never would have come up with this content on my own

“Julie, this résumé is wonderful. I never would have come up with this content on my own. My last iteration was a totally different world. Now it is more a professional résumé than a student résumé. I really like where we are going with this.”

my résumé worked! I got an offer

the work we just did is astounding...we were on fire

“The work we just did is astounding, Jared! We were on fire! I can't tell you how excited I am [to realize that] I've actually done a ton in this most recent role. I also hadn't realized how much value I bring to the C-suite and the company as a whole, and I would have *never* thought about creating a through-line across my entire career.”

I never would have gotten here without your amazing coaching and support

you laid the groundwork for me to succeed in an incredibly difficult job market

“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.”
