Read More“Shauna, you’re like my fairy godmother. You’ve been extremely helpful at every step of this process.

Read More“We’re just 28 mins in [to a 120-Minute Résumé Cram with Live Edit] and I’m already so happy that I did this. I wasn’t sure at first, and I’ve been to your website many times…. [later in the same call] I’ve been in awe for the last hour and 20 minutes. I’m usually not so at a loss for words. But this has been fascinating to watch and I really appreciate the give and take.

This is so much better!“
