really thoughtful feedback

“My friend at Google told me about a panel you were going to be on, and I signed up right away. You were by far the most helpful of anyone the panel. It was extremely, extremely helpful—and so has this session. I signed up to talk to you the day after the panel. And you’ve given me really thoughtful feedback.”

moving away from bitterness

“Now that I’m doing this [coaching and résumé writing], I’m moving away from bitterness. I want to stay with the firm and build a career trajectory and I’m glad to see that I’m not pigeon-holed into litigation because now I can see how that would help in a company. This [résumé] looks more like I’ve built some knowledge in a specific area over the last five years. I don’t want to throw away everything!”

a word-for-word script

“​I did everything you told me to do, said everything you told me to say. It was almost like you gave a word-for-word script. And [former federal agency Commissioner] responded exactly the way you predicted. I wish could have recorded it for you!​ I’m so pleased at how the conversation went and laid the groundwork for my job search.”

totally lost about marketing myself

“That was a lot to take in, Jared, but it has been extremely helpful and yours your points on how to look for a job [for someone in my senior position] is spot on. Last time I looked for a job, LinkedIn barely existed. I’m good at personal relationships, but I’m totally lost about marketing myself. I like the idea of condensing my story under categorized bullet points; getting as specific as I need to be by including some wins, without having to provide a laundry list. I’'ll be in touch again after I’ve locked myself in a room and done a couple of JDAs!"
