We have a long history of happy lawyers and tangible impact on their careers.

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 boutique 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. And 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 now conduct 3-month, 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year follow ups, which gives clients a chance to let us know if we:

My old résumé just hasn’t worked

“My old résumé just hasn’t worked. Content aside, I just haven’t been not sure what a good résumé looks like and feels like. I’ve seen a lot of contradictory advice, and I haven’t known what I should be shooting for. Seeing how you phrase things... it’s obvious you’ve been doing this for a long time! I appreciate what you’ve done.”

I was invited to interview

Your insight into the hiring process was  invaluable. I will keep you posted on how things unfold from here.”

I spoke to a recruiter this week
