you gave me clarity and confidence

“I hope this note finds you well, Shauna! You helped me rewrite my résumé last summer a when I was searching for a job back in the U.S. / looking to transition home from Hong Kong. You gave me clarity and confidence — not to mention the actual résumé and LinkedIn revamps. I ended up with multiple offers and landed at [elite boutique], and I am absolutely loving it here.”

I feel much more at peace knowing my story is ready

“The impetus for this work had dual purposes: first, my CEO wants to be sure I stay on board as we prepare for an IPO and following, and second, I need to know my ducks are in a row if the board decides they want to replace me. I want to stay, but I feel much more at peace knowing my story is ready in case I need to leave, by my own hand or someone else's. Jared, your approach to résumé writing and especially to the sensitivity around LinkedIn, is exactly what I've needed.”

I know what I'm doing

“As I walk around the office, everybody is talking about how we need more people who've worked in a public company. A few weeks ago, I worried that I might not have a job. Now I'm like, "I'm good. I know what I'm doing." Thanks Jared!”

won't have a problem getting in anywhere

“From a recruiter: ‘This looks great. Now just be patient and picky.’
From my CEO: ‘This looks amazing. You won't have a problem getting in anywhere.’
From my husband (who was unhappy with the résumé he paid someone else $200 to write): ‘I can't believe your résumé now, this is ridiculous. I'm a little intimidated now.’
Thanks Jared!”

you set my career set up for launch

“Shauna, you set my career set up for launch! You helped me realize that I need to know what I want, helped me understand the distinction between a legal specialist and generalist -- and that I'm a generalist. Since we talked, I had the opportunity to grow my team and it's been really cool. Now I've just accepted an opportunity reporting directly to the GC of [NYSE-listed cloud computing company]. The first thing the GC said to me at my interview was, 'OMG, your résumé was amazing. I've seen so many résumés, but yours does a great job of showing impact, not only individually but also as a team. Usually I have to work hard to tease it out, but yours just jumped out.' I also want to mention your tip about using our networks to get past HR was really important. HR wasn't interested in me. But my contact got my résumé in front of the GC and an hour later I call the call to interview. Shauna, you are a genius.”
