- General counsel at $14+ billion company
Read More“I’m seeing how you’re connecting the dots in my career. This is the story that I’ve always wanted to be able to tell, but couldn’t figure out how. This has been very, very helpful.”
- General counsel
Read More“I love the résumé. It’s all great. You just have a much better idea of what’s important to employers than I do. My husband—he’s a lawyer also—could use your services too.”
- General Counsel

- GC for PE-owned company
Read More“I read the LinkedIn book—which was very good—cover-to-cover yesterday. I don’t do much social media, so reading the book before the profile optimization was really helpful to understand the thought process behind the recommendations.”
- GC of US Division of multinational public company
Read More“Now that I’m looking at the work the previous résumé writer did more carefully, it’s almost like the wording could apply to anyone. It’s just résumé gobbledygook.”

- AmLaw 100 partner
Read More“I’ve learned a lot here. This is really interesting for me on many levels. And I like your model; I probably talked to 20 résumé writers and your model is the most collaborative. It also requires to *you* to be on—and to produce and produce and produce—every minute of our call. I don’t think most people can do that, and I don’t think many people put their money where their mouth is like you do.”
- Former GC of global brand management company
Read More“I’m way further along than I was a couple of months ago. And your help has been instrumental in that. For many years, I felt like I was at the 5-yard line. And now I’ve caught the kick-off and ran it back 40 yards. I’m positioned to participate in the job market. Working with you has been super helpful for me. I have a lot to work with now, and I’ve been forced to do a lot of thinking. I have really seen the value.”
- GC of US Division of multinational public company
Read More“I think the résumé is really good and I could have never gotten here on my own. You took a gobbledygook of information and turned it into a story. I thought the cover letter was amazing to be quite honest with you. I would never have come up on it on my own, and yet it’s exactly what I wanted to say and how I wanted to say it. My goodness. I’m in light years better shape. Thank you for all that you’ve done. I’m really glad I’ve been working with you and I want to continue working with you.”

- Vice-Admiral (ret), U.S. Navy
Read More“I’ve got to tell you, I like the career portfolio [CV, CV addendum, and cover letter] a lot. I’m pleased with all of it. I like the structure. I like the way you broke the information up and used bullets, and I like your wording. The CV has impact from the first page. And I can see you really did your homework. I don’t know how you did it, but you worked it! Every word has value. Trying to do it myself was a fool’s errand.
The cover letter is also a really, really helpful tool that I will be able to build on for future applications. It sets out a structure and lets me know how and where to add information for different job applications.
And I already got great feedback from the retained recruiter. You did everything I needed and I’m in a really good place.”
- One of the nation’s highest-ranking military lawyers
Read More“Intuitively, I’ve known I’m spending my energy in the wrong place in my job search and blaming myself for some of the things that have happened in my last job. Thank you for your new prospective. I’ve taken a lot of notes as we talked. I just never would have thought of this. This is great advice. It’s definitely actionable and achievable. And I think it’ll will really help with my healing too. This is a step that will help me remind myself of all the good things I’ve done.”
