“The résumé and cover letter are excellent, Shauna. It's like you clear out all the noise, making everything concise and impactful. I used the résumé last week and already have a job interview scheduled! I have been referring everyone to you.”

– Former AmLaw 100 equity partner and national practice group chair
Read More“Shauna, your questions have been invaluable and all of your comments about my original résumé are spot-on. I think you caught me a little flat-footed in our first conversation, which is fine :) So I got my feet knocked out from under me. Frankly, I'm embarrassed about the old résumé and I realize how little prepared I was to be interviewed on it. But I would rather flounder with you than do it in a job interview. I'm much more confident now.”
– General counsel of $450 million regional company
Read More“Shauna, I exchanged emails with you several years ago, but eventually went with someone else. I should have gone with you then. I like that you make me actually think about what I do, instead of me just answering on auto-pilot, and that you really challenge me to remember details. I'm much happier with this new résumé. The old one was a result of a lot of bad advice.”

Thank you so much for the work that you previously did on it, it really helped! It is definitely a huge step in the right direction.”

This has opened up a different ball game for me. You have really opened up my mind. I was in awe.”
