We have a long history of happy lawyers and tangible impact.
Let’s face it: choosing a lawyer coach and résumé writer is a big decision. You’re not just choosing an expert, you’re also choosing the best partner for you. As you make your decision, it helps to see feedback from past clients.
Since Shauna C. Bryce first formally founded her career services for lawyers in 2006, our goal has been to deliver the highest quality career advising, writing, and client experience. Lawyers often have strong opinions and, over the years, our clients have been generous in letting us know how they felt about whether we’ve succeeded. Although we don’t offer guarantees, we try to stay in touch with our clients over time to ensure they’re on the right track. We try to conduct 3-month, 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year follow ups, which gives clients a chance to let us know if we:
Made a difference in their job search, confidence, interviewing, or decision-making?
Constructed practical action plans that addressed their individual situations?
Added valuable knowledge and perspective?
Wrote résumés, cover letters, LinkedIn profiles, and other career documents that reflected their value to target employers?
Gave excellent value for their investment?
Provided an encouraging and positive client / customer service experience?
Positively impacted their career outcomes?
“I’ve been singing your praises on the mountaintop.
Since you finished with my LinkedIn profile and my résumé, I have gotten so much interest. In just over a month after working with you, I’ve had multiple offers. I’ve just got, frankly, the offer of a lifetime and accepted it. It’s 2.5 times my current compensation, working for a titan in the industry.
It’s astonishing the difference. I had been looking for a new job for 6 months. *No one* was even talking to me until I worked with you. I went from crickets to people fighting over me. My phone has been ringing off the hook. I was fielding calls from Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and others.
I’ve been talking to my law partners and the recruiters at MLA about it. You really really really helped me. Because you re-wrote all my stuff, I could take the new résumé and put together an amazing response to the recruiter questionnaire. It greatly reduced the amount of time I spent and looked far better than ones I did in the past.
But the job search is all about getting in front of people. The résumé was impactful when it got in front of the businesses leaders. I’ve been shocked about how excited they’ve been about me. These are people who are incredibly well known in the industry. They were practically jumping up and down at my candidacy. And I know it was the way I was presented differently than I was before. I have been telling everyone they need to work with you—including my spouse.
I’m so pleased. Yours is such a valuable process. You can’t put a price on it. I’m only mad at myself that I didn’t contact you sooner. Many, many, many, thank yous. You’re awesome.”
