The résumé just sings.

“The résumé just sings. I really like it. Looking at my résumé now compared to my original one… they just don’t compare. And I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I don’t have any edits to the cover letter. You’ve really outdone yourself.”

Before you worked your magic, there was almost no interest in me...

“Hi Shauna! So far, things are going well and it seems like a very good culture. It’s very much a start-up, so things move very fast! I wanted to thank you so very much for the wonderful work you did advising me and revising my resume. It really made all of the difference in the world. Before you worked your magic, there was almost no interest in me, but afterward, I started getting numerous inquiries. I had several recruiters say ‘I love your resume’ in that it made their jobs so much easier in explaining my background. I have had Board members start their interview conversations with me by saying ‘You have a very impressive background.’ So I am very grateful to you and have already recommended you to several in-house attorneys for advice as they consider future job opportunities… As you can see, I am a big fan and so appreciate your help and support.”

Now that I look at the résumés I’ve had professionally written in the past, I’m dissatisfied with them.

“I thought the CV was a great document. I really liked it, and now I understand the difference between a résumé and a CV. The more I read it, the more I realized how well it reflects my career. When I came to you, I wanted something that made me less a ‘senior manager’ and more executive suite. The document does that. This really does that. And, like I said, the document was well received by executive recruiters. I’m very pleased with the work, and I really enjoyed worked with you. Now that I look at the résumés I’ve had professionally written in the past, I’m dissatisfied with them.”

“You’re transforming the résumé into exactly what I wanted it to do. It’s so much more executive. I’m realizing how much I need you! You are far better at doing this than I am.
