“I’ve only done hiring in law firms, and I’ve never thought about the things you’re talking about. This is been a great perspective and tutorial on how companies hire GCs.”
- Former AmLaw 100 equity partner
Read More“I did everything you told me to do, said everything you told me to say. It was almost like you gave a word-for-word script. And [former federal agency Commissioner] responded exactly the way you predicted. I wish could have recorded it for you! I’m so pleased at how the conversation went and laid the groundwork for my job search.”
- Law firm partner exploring GC roles
Read More“I’ve never worked with a professional résumé writer. I’ve tried to talk to recruiters about my résumé because I know it needs a lot of work. It’s just the same thing I’ve been doing since law school. You’ve hit the nail on the head with your suggestions and I’m feeling better with my résumé just watching you restate things. This is the whole reason I reached out to you. I needed something more compelling and punchy. And I really benefit from hearing the perspective an expert. Thanks so much, Shauna! It was an absolute pleasure working with you.”
- General counsel and former AmLaw 100 lawyer
Read More“I consider every last penny I’ve spent with you to be an investment. This is the first time in my career that I’ve been so proactive in my decision-making. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with you, and I’ve been sharing your information with a lot of legal recruiters in my area.”
- General counsel of PE-held industry leader
Read More“It’s good. It’s intense. It’s everything I thought it would be and more. I really like interacting with the board and it’s a huge portion of my job. I learn something new everyday. I did interview with the executive team and have to be approved by the board and the GC of the majority stockholder, but I felt prepared for the whole process.”
- Senior corporate generalist on landing first role as GC in a public company
Read More“One purpose of this conversation is to benchmark, to understand how my résumé compares to others in a similar situation. And you’re giving me a lot of that. Not only is what you’re saying make sense, but I know it all too well. This has been very helpful.”

- General Counsel
Read More“That was a lot to take in, Jared, but it has been extremely helpful and yours your points on how to look for a job [for someone in my senior position] is spot on. Last time I looked for a job, LinkedIn barely existed. I’m good at personal relationships, but I’m totally lost about marketing myself. I like the idea of condensing my story under categorized bullet points; getting as specific as I need to be by including some wins, without having to provide a laundry list. I’'ll be in touch again after I’ve locked myself in a room and done a couple of JDAs!"

- General counsel, chief compliance officer, and corporate secretary for a publicly traded medical device company
Read More“My résumé has been boring. There were a lot of jargon-y words that don't speak to who I am, but you've been pulling information out of me really easily. And, oh my gosh, just made a yeoman's improvement in just an hour and half of work.”
- AmLaw 100 partner
Read More“Jared, I had an idea about who you were from [a past Bryce Legal client], who just got a new job. He’s taking more of a start-up GC and chief strategy officer role for an interesting technology that doesn’t require him to relocate. He’ll have a good stake of equity. That’s why I wanted to discuss working with you. What I didn’t expect was how quickly you would look at my story and build reason around it. From the angel-funded early days to the private equity phase to the public company phase and finally the acquisition. I see it as one big slog, but having those boundaries around which to tell this story really sold me on how you think.”
