I want to stay with the firm and build a career trajectory and I’m glad to see that I’m not pigeon-holed into litigation because now I can see how that would help in a company.

I had thought I was doing a really good job with my résumé, but this has been really eye-opening about how you phrase things, being concise, getting to the point, and using terms that are easy to understand. There is clearly an art to this and you are really good at it. This whole thing has been such a huge confidence boost. I have been telling everyone they should do this.”
- In-house commercial contracts attorney
Read More"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.”

Read More“This has been the perfect time to start this process. It’s helped me clarify what my long-term goals should be, and I didn’t realize there was such a big gulf between what I was trying to convey to employers and what my résumé was actually conveying. When I look at my original compared to the work we’ve been doing, I mean it looks like they’re two different people. No wonder recruiters were having a hard time understanding what I do.”

I haven’t thought about the work I’ve done this perspective, with the specific purpose of thinking who my potential employers are and what I want to convey to them.

I like the structure and the language. It’s not overwrought, like some one trying to use a thesaurus. This is spectacular. I really do mean it.”
