“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“In the last 10 minutes, I’ve realized that I really needed something to click with me about why I’m not interviewing well. And this is it. I’ve had all the answers in my head, but my insecurities cloud my ability to give the clear, concise, confident answers. Honestly, I have struggled with this for months. I’ve been so hung up on trying to justify and apologize for my background instead of really understanding that it has value. I finally got it! I'm so glad we did this.”

Read More“Hi Shauna and Michelle, I wanted to inform you that I got offered the Prosecutor position this week, at the [state’s leading] County Attorney's Office!!!!! I am so honored and beyond excited! I wanted to say thank you for all of your assistance with my résumé and cover letter. I was extremely pleased with the result of both of those documents and working with both of you. Thank you both again for everything, you are amazing and I am forever thankful!”
- Graduating law school student
Read More“It’s just non-stop; it’s crazy. I sent the résumé to the chairmen of three AmLaw 100 firms, and all three responded within 24 hours, so I have three interviews next week with both the chairs and key lawyers in the office. I’m very pleased. The combination of documents is getting the doors opened. And I had a lot of people who supported me—like my friends who are partners at other firms—but once they saw my new résumé, they saw me in a different way, not just as their friend anymore. I’m taken much more seriously, and given so much more respect because they’re really seeing the impact I’ve had and the level of work I’ve done. It has changed the conversation. I consider you part of my team now, and I’m so grateful.”
