- Second-career professional getting first associate attorney role

“Hi Shauna - Hope you are doing well. I wanted to let you know that I gave notice on Monday and in the coming months will be starting a new job in-house at a broker-dealer/investment bank. It is a great position and a step up to a Managing Director title.
The work that you did on my LinkedIn profile optimization and résumé proved to be extremely valuable. I ended up with two offers and went into final rounds at several other places. And I got a lot of unsolicited calls for interviews. Also, the creative process of talking through the résumé drafting with you was great interview preparation because it helped me to think of the best ways to present myself.”

- Midlevel associate transitioning between large firms

“Hi Julie, Thank you for the productive and informative session today. Most of the résumé review services on the web offer to merely "fix" my résumé and send me the finished product, but what I wanted was to get some feedback from a professional on my current résumé and I think our session was exactly what I was looking for and more. I am happy with the new résumé and I look forward to proofreading it. I hope the next time we talk I have some exciting updates!”

“Jared, I am so grateful for all of the hard work you put in to helping me with my resume and LinkedIn. More than just getting documents prepared, your process helped me hone the way in which I marketed myself in interviews and negotiations, and I am so very thankful. Also, let Shauna know the good news and how incredibly helpful her advice was in the negotiation process? After she and I spoke, I countered the firm’s initial offer and they came back with no changes to salary or bonus, just a better (partner) title. Speaking to her about how to present the counteroffer gave me the confidence and tools I needed to make that happen!”

- Partner for an international corporate law firm

“My new role is VP, Deputy General Counsel. I will lead all compliance, regulatory, and IP functions. So this is an awesome opportunity to fill holes in my resume while building and leading a larger team. I'm very VERY excited. Thank you again for all the coaching and resume writing help. Having my resume re-written gave me a leg up during interviews. Instead of focusing on my substantive experiences, I spent more interview time focused on deeper issues because the resume spoke for itself. I truly couldn't have done this without the help you provided me. You took my resume from Stone Ages to modern times. Thank you, Shauna, so much for all that you did for me! I am so grateful to have you in my corner.”
