I applied cold

“The résumé worked great, Shauna. I applied cold for the GC position through a job posting; I didn't even work with a recruiter. It worked beautifully and it took me five minutes to apply. I've never even received a call for an interview when I've applied for jobs online before. And this time I didn't just get an interview; I got the job.”

you set my career set up for launch

“Shauna, you set my career set up for launch! You helped me realize that I need to know what I want, helped me understand the distinction between a legal specialist and generalist -- and that I'm a generalist. Since we talked, I had the opportunity to grow my team and it's been really cool. Now I've just accepted an opportunity reporting directly to the GC of [NYSE-listed cloud computing company]. The first thing the GC said to me at my interview was, 'OMG, your résumé was amazing. I've seen so many résumés, but yours does a great job of showing impact, not only individually but also as a team. Usually I have to work hard to tease it out, but yours just jumped out.' I also want to mention your tip about using our networks to get past HR was really important. HR wasn't interested in me. But my contact got my résumé in front of the GC and an hour later I call the call to interview. Shauna, you are a genius.”

a way of thinking that I haven't had

“Shauna, this has been such an educational process. It's a perspective that I don't have and a way of thinking that pulled me away from just looking at the the leaves on the trees to also look the forest. It's just a way of thinking that I haven't had and it's incredibly valuable.”
