4 interviews over the past week

“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!”

I've interviewed with almost every place I applied

“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.”
