“Julie, this résumé is wonderful. I never would have come up with this content on my own. My last iteration was a totally different world. Now it is more a professional résumé than a student résumé. I really like where we are going with this.”

I also hadn't realized how much value I bring to the C-suite and the company as a whole, and I would have *never* thought about creating a through-line across my entire career.”

– Senior Counsel for a U.S. State
Read More“Shauna, I wanted to update you on my job search following your (fantastic) work on my résumé and LinkedIn profile optimization. I have been searching for a little over 3 months using these materials, and have gotten a slew of interviews — law firm, in-house, DOJ, SEC — you name it. It took some time for the interviews to convert into offers, I think because of the number and quality of candidates on the market right now, combined with a delay in the process for assessing and hiring candidates given to remote work and general business uncertainty. However, my materials got my foot in the door nearly everywhere that I applied, and networked. The résumé alone also led to interviews at a couple places solely via submission in the online ATS, without any networking. I now have two offers... Both are great opportunities to grow my career... Thank you again for your incredible work; I feel so fortunate that I landed with you when I was searching for legal résumé writers. You laid the groundwork for me to succeed in an incredibly difficult job market.”

Read More“I had tried several times to interview with this company before, but never got a response—until I sent the résumé and cover letter you did. Then I got immediate positive feedback. I've had two recruiter interviews, and 4 interviews over the past week—including with a software company and as a general counsel for a small start-up. And this whole exercise has forced me to take a good hard look at what I've done and what I want. Thank you Shauna!”
– In-house data privacy counsel
Read More“Shauna, I'm not gonna lie, I'm so glad I worked with you to get my materials pristine, because even though the job market is very slow, my materials got my foot my in door and helped me present. And the tips you gave me have really been successful, including reaching out to the hiring director directly and making connections with alumni and others in organizations. In the last 3 months, I've interviewed with almost every place I applied, including Facebook, Twitter, T-Mobile, Amazon, Honeywell, Nielsen, SEC, JPMorgan, and a US Attorney's Office.”

– Fortune 500 commercial contract lawyer
Read More“Shauna, I exchanged emails with you several years ago, but eventually went with someone else. I should have gone with you then. I like that you make me actually think about what I do, instead of me just answering on auto-pilot, and that you really challenge me to remember details. I'm much happier with this new résumé. The old one was a result of a lot of bad advice.”
