a subtlety to what you do that’s very elegant

“I read through the résumé we worked on and I’m really pleased with it. I’ve got to say, it just has a completely different feel to it than my original. It’s more human. I really like the framing of each job. It’s fantastic. And just really tells a story where my old résumé didn’t. I’m not used to thinking about accomplishments instead of tasks. In some ways, it’s very obvious, but there’s a subtlety to what you do that’s very elegant. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m happy. I’ve enjoyed our conversations—not only because they've been super productive and helpful—but also because like talking to you. It’s been a shot of confidence at time when work has been depressing.”

a very valuable tip

“​You once told me to always reach out to directly to the GC, like through LinkedIn, when I see a job that interested me. That was a very valuable tip. Some told me I was the only candidate to ever do that. And they love all the details included in the résumé. I've gotten very positive feedback.​”

getting unstuck

“Jared, this was super helpful. You know how it is when you know your résumé isn’t quite right but don’t know how to get yourself unstuck. I didn’t know what to expect when I signed up, but you’ve given me so many good ideas. I'm going to run off and do as much as I can on my own ... then I might be back for another session! You also might get a call from a colleague who was wondering how this would go."

no other competitor doing what you guys are doing

“Just so you know, Jared, I thought your thinking was great. The starter skeleton was a really good roadmap for us [to write the résumé]. I can tell you’ve done this many times before. There’s no other competitor doing what you guys are doing. This is incredible. Now I understand why this takes time. You’re really trying to crush the story. As you say, it’s important for the company, but also me. The GC role is pretty damned important. This was a reality check [and] I’m so impressed with the product.”
