You were incredibly helpful and I am so happy to report that I received a position as Deputy General Counsel in June at a fast growing startup.

So thank you! I was [also] recently informed by the CEO that I will soon be promoted to General Counsel (yay).”

“I’ve got to tell you, I like the career portfolio [CV, CV addendum, and cover letter] a lot. I’m pleased with all of it. I like the structure. I like the way you broke the information up and used bullets, and I like your wording. The CV has impact from the first page. And I can see you really did your homework. I don’t know how you did it, but you worked it! Every word has value. Trying to do it myself was a fool’s errand.

The cover letter is also a really, really helpful tool that I will be able to build on for future applications. It sets out a structure and lets me know how and where to add information for different job applications.

And I already got great feedback from the retained recruiter. You did everything I needed and I’m in a really good place.”

In the process of securing my new role, I also had two other interviews at Am Law 200 firms. I’m sure the résumé played a role because I went from no interviews to three almost immediately after meeting with Shauna. Tell Shauna I said thanks and I’ll refer her to anyone who asks!”

- Junior lawyer breaking into BigLaw

“Hi Shauna, I wanted to let you know that I started at [hotel and resort company] at the end of [month] and I love the job. Working with you on my résumé was extremely helpful, and I’ve recommended you to several of my friends, and even to my husband. Thank you.”
