“I need to thank you. I would not in a million years think this strategically about my LinkedIn profile. I was just going through the motions. I didn’t understand it as real tool to market my brand. Now I can wield LinkedIn like a lethal weapon. I worked on it all weekend, analyzing every little piece of information you gave me. This has opened up a different ball game for me. You have really opened up my mind. I was in awe.”

“I like the approach and the look of the résumé and how it really highlights my accomplishments instead of tasks. It’s made if me really re-think my career from task after the next.”
"I’ve had a career coach before and he went through my résumé. But he didn’t do what you’re doing and he didn’t tell me what you’re saying. The work you’re doing is fantastic. I really like it, I feel like it tells a story.”
“Overall, the résumé reads really strong. I’m really, really happy with it. You’re very receptive to questions and you make me feel really comfortable about talking through all the decision-making and the language.”
“Great conversation today! Many thanks for the mediations and other helpful recommendations. This has been extremely helpful. I have a plan now and several action items I can do today. I’m excited about my plan.“
“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.”
“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.”
“In just three weeks after you did my résumé and LInkedIn profile, I applied for a job through LinkedIn to work at one of Dubai's most important financial companies. I’m now in the second round of interviews.”
"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. In the past, recruiters have tried to steer me to low-end jobs, like temp placement and e-discovery.”

“Hello Shauna, I’m writing to let you know that I received an offer Friday to join a growing company as their first in-house attorney. I will be working to bring their outside counsel work in-house and provide support for the organization’s acquisition strategy. THANK YOU so much for the coaching and helping me get my résumé together. I was able to update my LinkedIn profile based on the edits from the résumé, and that is how the CEO of the company found me. Thanks again!”
“My résumé clearly needed a revamp to present me as a GC-ready candidate. The whole purpose of this session has been to try something new since what I was doing was clearly not working. I’m loving this new version; this is great. I couldn’t have put this together even if I tried.”
“You just gave me such valuable framing for these issues. Talking to you has been just so valuable. My friend had spoken so highly of you, and she was absolutely right. :)”
