I really feel like I'm going in the right direction
“I'm pretty encouraged, Shauna. It makes me feel more positive. I really feel like I'm going in the right direction. I had just been overwhelmed by the task in front of me and just didn't know how to start. I had a lot of psychological baggage. It's time for something new and better.”

now I can see myself down the line in a career that I would be interested in

It's a real weight off my shoulders. Instead of just trying to make it to the next step in my career, now I can see myself down the line in a career that I would be interested in.”

his framework for evaluating my value changed how I see myself
“I found my sessions with Jared to be super valuable. His framework for evaluating my value changed how I see myself and answered a lot of internal questions.”
– Commercial transactions and licensing attorney for a Fortune 10 company
I'm at a loss for words
“The work Jared put into this, and the deliverable, is so different and so much more, so much better. I'm at a loss for words. I look at résumés regularly, typically for people who are trying to get a job within the company or department, and they're very straightforward. I don't see résumés at the higher level and certainly don't look at board résumés, so this is all new to me.”
– Global retailer GC
I didn't realize how complex résumé writing could be
“Jared, I didn't realize how complex résumé writing could be, and how much went into it. I slapped together a résumé, sent it to you at the beginning of our working relationship, and thought it was great. I was so naïve.”
