“Dear Shauna, I hope this note finds you well! You helped me rewrite my résumé last summer a when I was searching for a job back in the U.S. / looking to transition home from [abroad].

when they asked for my résumé, they were blown away

“When Jared began flipping my résumé late last year, suggested I be patient and that something would come to me.

He was absolutely right and I began this week with [Company Name] in an executive level attorney role. I was recruited to join their team and when they asked for my résumé, they were blown away.

I’ll never forget how sure Jared was about my future. It was the vote of confidence I never knew I needed. Thank you so much as well for the impressive résumé.

Jared is truly a gift and I appreciate him!”

I never would have come up with this content on my own

“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.”

you are so good at what you do

“You are so good at what you do, Shauna, and this is just been so helpful. Just going through this process... I really didn't know how much I was doing in my roles. But as I go through, I've started to realize that I have accomplished a lot. I had a very pathetic résumé. This is a much better presentation of what I can do. This has been so good. A friend recommended you to me, and I have started to recommend you to friends as well.”

unsolicited opportunities have started to come my way

“Thank you for challenging me Julie, for really forcing me to articulate what I want, and what I do. It's forced me to be more intentional and deliberate about my career. It has sometimes been painful, but also cathartic. And unsolicited opportunities have started to come my way. I've been asked to apply to be my law school's dean, as well as for several board positions. These opportunities have forced me to further think about what I ultimately want.”

my résumé worked! I got an offer

“Jared, just wanted to let you know that my résumé worked! I got an offer from [Law Firm Name] this week, and I'll join their Corporate & Securities group with a short track to partnership. At least 2 of 10 partners I met with commented on my impressive résumé. Thanks for helping me find a way to tell my story. I think this is going to be a great position to add to my résumé and I am really excited. Thanks so much for all of your help!”

it's like therapy in a way...this is fun

“Your questions underscore why I need you, Jared. It's like therapy in a way. You're bringing out things I've forgotten, haven't considered as important, or maybe haven't even wanted to acknowledge. I certainly had no idea how to talk about these things, much less put them on paper as a leadership story. This is fun.”
