I'm at a loss for words

“The work Jared put into this, and the deliverable, is so different and so much more, so much better. I'm at a loss for words. I look at résumés regularly, typically for people who are trying to get a job within the company or department, and they're very straightforward. I don't see résumés at the higher level and certainly don't look at board résumés, so this is all new to me.”
