“I had tried several times to interview with this company before, but never got a response—until I sent the résumé and cover letter you did. Then I got immediate positive feedback. I've had two recruiter interviews, and 4 interviews over the past week—including with a software company and as a general counsel for a small start-up. And this whole exercise has forced me to take a good hard look at what I've done and what I want. Thank you Shauna!”

Read More“Shauna, I'm not gonna lie, I'm so glad I worked with you to get my materials pristine, because even though the job market is very slow, my materials got my foot my in door and helped me present. And the tips you gave me have really been successful, including reaching out to the hiring director directly and making connections with alumni and others in organizations. In the last 3 months, I've interviewed with almost every place I applied, including Facebook, Twitter, T-Mobile, Amazon, Honeywell, Nielsen, SEC, JPMorgan, and a US Attorney's Office.”

Read More“Shauna, I exchanged emails with you several years ago, but eventually went with someone else. I should have gone with you then. I like that you make me actually think about what I do, instead of me just answering on auto-pilot, and that you really challenge me to remember details. I'm much happier with this new résumé. The old one was a result of a lot of bad advice.”

- High-volume litigator transitioning in-house
Read More“Thank you, Shauna! You are a miracle-worker. I’ve already used the draft version of the résumé this week and snagged an interview for an AGC role in Washington, DC. I had seen the posting for about a week, but I emailed the GC directly. We had a call the same day and he asked me to submit my materials, and I got a formal interview with 24 hours. I feel so much more comfortable with this format than the one the previous résumé writer I hired did. Much more comfortable and confident that it’s representative of what I’ve done without overselling or underselling. I cannot wait to use final résumé!”
