I haven’t thought about the work I’ve done this perspective, with the specific purpose of thinking who my potential employers are and what I want to convey to them.

I’ve been practicing law for more than 25 years in lots of different jobs and I struggled with even how to organize it. This is a really smart way to organize my work. I like it. I like the structure and the language. It’s not overwrought, like some one trying to use a thesaurus. This is spectacular. I really do mean it.”

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.
