impactful

“Thank you, Shauna! This is absolutely a 100% transformation and I am so impressed. Thank you so much for your patience, insights, guidance and terrific writing. I really like the tone you’re using and the structure. I’ve already showed the draft to several people and they were like ‘wow, this is so much more comprehensive’ and it establishes my early career foundation. I don’t think you even understand how impactful this work has been for me. I’ve really been forced to think about my work differently.”

DPO candidate

"I sent the beta draft of the résumé to a headhunter and she was so impressed with the difference compared to the earlier version. Even though it’s not the finished product, the recruiter wants to send the résumé over to a pharmaceutical company for a DPO [data privacy officer] role right away.

damn, that's me

“I feel like all these years, I’ve been apologetic for nothing. I was so self-conscious about my experience because I was so focused on all the things I haven’t done, but now I realize I actually *have* done a lot. This has been an amazing process. Before, I wouldn’t have hired me. Now, the world and my work became alive again in my head. As I saw the new résumé, I was like “damn, that's me.’”
