Read More“Hi Shauna - Hope you are doing well. I wanted to let you know that I gave notice on Monday and in the coming months will be starting a new job in-house at a broker-dealer/investment bank. It is a great position and a step up to a Managing Director title.
The work that you did on my LinkedIn profile optimization and résumé proved to be extremely valuable. I ended up with two offers and went into final rounds at several other places. And I got a lot of unsolicited calls for interviews. Also, the creative process of talking through the résumé drafting with you was great interview preparation because it helped me to think of the best ways to present myself.”

After she and I spoke, I countered the firm’s initial offer and they came back with no changes to salary or bonus, just a better (partner) title. Speaking to her about how to present the counteroffer gave me the confidence and tools I needed to make that happen!”

I truly couldn't have done this without the help you provided me. You took my resume from Stone Ages to modern times. Thank you, Shauna, so much for all that you did for me! I am so grateful to have you in my corner.”
