I felt so much more confident

“Thank you again for spending so many hours to make me feel comfortable for a simple [but critical networking] phone call.  I know you probably think it’s ridiculous — after all, I have been speaking with people for many years — but I felt so much more confident going into this discussion than I would have without your expertise. So, thank you very much!”

recruiter response within hours

“Great thanks Shauna! I appreciate your work on this. I already submitted this résumé for that [targeted Fortune 200 subsidiary GC] job and [within hours] heard back from the recruiter saying it will be reviewed with the hiring manager, so thanks for the quick turnaround. Have a great weekend.”

a very useful exercise

“This is really helpful for me. 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. And also what a job interview might look like, and how I can use the résumé to lead the interview where I want. This is a very useful exercise.”

This is spectacular.

“You’ve done a beautiful job.​ My reaction was that it was really great. To be honest, I was daunted with the idea of doing a résumé because I haven’t done one in so long. 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.”

perspective

“I lose perspective. It’s not until we had this discussion that I’ve realized what my résumé’s missing​. It’s been so beneficial to hear your questions and see how you’re connecting my answers into my résumé. It all makes a lot of sense.​ Just watching do this makes me wonder what the heck I was thinking before.”
